Jon4470 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Likewise...my order is now placed! Really glad that this kit has been released and there is absolutely no rush to despatch the kit. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Masham in real life. The guy on the footplate may welll be the photographer. Who else would wear a dickie-bow to an industrial locoshed photo shoot? Part of my 'Old Leeds Locos' photo collection. NOTE - just noticed a handrail on the upper cab side that doesn't seem to appear on the kit, and the 2 vertical uprights on the cab front. Later additions after some time in use?

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted November 2, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2021 The top half of the cab is a home made affair which has right angle corners where the bottom has curved corners which has been catered into the kit. Also the sides are joined to the original weather board which you can see the outline but hasn't been catered for in the kit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Picked up my Barber kit from the sorting office today, quick read through of the instructions and it looks to be a well thought out kit with comprehensive instructions. Very much looking forward to starting to build it, I best find that 08 chassis I have stashed away now! Cheers James 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted January 26, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone available shortly will be lost wax brass scale Chopper couplings which includes the pendulum weight in 4mm scale, 009 gauge and designed to work with the standard type couplings as fitted to 009 and H0e models. Obviously designed for the new Bachmann double fairlie, these come in 2 versions. One in NEM version and the other a direct replacement as a whole coupling. The couplings have been made longer than the original Bachmann versions from feedback with the coupling loops hitting the footplate when coupling up on some types of couplings.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted February 9, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hello everyone, I've just added the 4mm scale, 009 gauge chopper couplings suited to the Bachmann double Fairlie and anything else you want to fit them to on the website. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted July 12, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone, Sorry for being quiet on here as I have been busy with orders and work. I am at the moment trying to get through existing orders but having a lot less time to deal with them so I'm being a lot slower than usual which I apologise for. I'm hoping to get a chance this week after today to blitz orders but we will see as things change last minute. As a side note about the 4mm scale, 009 narrow gauge loco body kits. The Drewry diesel series of locos will fit the new coreless motor/dcc ready N gauge 08 diesel chassis which just needs the kits footplates filing inside slightly to allow the circuit board to clear and would also allow sound! I haven't had a chance to check, however as far as im aware, the new chassis will also fit the steam loco kits but will require the circuit board removing. The replacement footplate I'm not sure if it will fit as I haven't had a chance to try. It may require a new design. One thing you do have to be careful with the new 08 chassis is the wheels now run in brass bearings so have to be careful when taking the wheels out.

Staffordshire Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This just has to be commented on, Ordered a fair amount of 'Bulleid' West Country parts on Thursday evening, arrived in the post this morning (Tuesday). Outstanding Customer Service - thank you very much ... Cheers, Ian Bradford No excuse for not getting on and hopefully creating 34004 Yeovil with Long Smoke deflectors etc, to join her sister 'Bude' attached. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you'll need a high-sided tender to go with Yeovil, which only received a cut-down one at rebuilding. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon4470 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just thought I’d put a photo of my completed Barber on here (if that’s OK?). I’m really pleased that you produced this kit….and I like the result: Jon 14 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted September 12, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, At the moment RT Models is closed to allow me to catch up with existing orders as I have fallen well behind on them and over the next few months with my current work will have an impact in general. I have left the website open rather than a full shut down like a few years ago but any orders placed be severely delayed at the moment. I am sorry for the delay with current orders, I am very much in huge demand with my normal work rescuing passengers when things go wrong on the railways.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted October 18, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hello everyone, Just a update on orders. By the end of the week I should have everyones orders finally posted including any that involve the 009 Gauge Resin keeperplates. The mould which I made a few weeks ago had a serious fault so some new silicone has been ordered and is apparently arriving today but got to go to fetch a bus now that I left in Minffordd from its 5 weeks of rail replacement up there (didn't have the hours to drive it back when finished). So when I get back later (if I dont get called out to work) I will make a start on the new mould as well as packing more orders. So in the next few weeks I should be free to pack orders quickly and use the time to sort out various test etch drawings for resubmission before I go away working again. Thank you for being patient with me. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly the 4mm scale 00/EM/P4 Ironstone dump car. A few more alterations to the test etch has been made. Any more progress made with these, Robert?

Hello Dave, Yes they actually tip and the door opens as it should, although the actually etched rigging will be fiddly to use as per the real wagons. Revised etches should be submitted later in the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted January 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Happy 2023 everyone from RT Models. Years in the designing and various test builds, a very accurate and working Ironstone dumpcar in 4mm scale, 00/EM/P4. One more etch to check as the faults have been corrected then ready for release by the summer at the latest.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted January 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Also a new release in 4mm scale, 009 gauge is resin slate loads to fit into my own Dinorwic slate wagon kits which have been around for many years, perfect to run behind the new Bachmann Quarry Hunslet just released. There is more new products to come out over the next few months and will announce these once they arrive and approved.
