Eagle eyed Andy is correct, the none lettered sides are the right width to create the sides of the steps. Here's one from a set I made years ago and got taken off my recent build so they can go on the dj models version which saves my painting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarryscapes Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Looking forward to the reissued Manning Wardles. A Quick question though - the frame spacers, could you tell me their respective widths? I use Comet jigs which rely on the spacers matching the width of the jig.

bertiedog Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just to complete the story of the Old Class I illustrated above, it is now painted and lined as "Wave" of the Newhaven Harbour Company. If the livery looks vaguely familiar, the Harbour company was effectively a subsidiary of the LB&SCR and Wave was painted, according to Bradley, in the "standard Stroudley passenger livery". I am grateful to fellow members of the Brighton Circle, who have helped to interpret how the livery might have been applied to a distinctly non standard loco, given the poor quality of the only known photo. Wave Manning Wardle.jpg wave shrunk 10.JPG For comparison, Wave is shown at Vintners' Yard, with other Brighton superpower. The large loco on the left is a Terrier..... wave shrunk 06.JPG If anyone has any information about Wave's earlier history, before it was bought from the Hunslett Engine Company in 1881, I should be interested to know. There does not seem to be a record of the makers number. Best wishes Eric Very nice Model especially as it is small. very small! A bit more wrung out of the image........

Glad to hear that, Comet ones are too narrow, but I made my own at 14mm wide for my own stuff! Once I'm settled in the new place a Class K is on my to do list. How's the de Winton going? I'm going to want several of those I fear! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessy1692 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Revised istructions for the 009 steam loco chassis hmm.... sounding like a cracked record but could Barber be edging closer??

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted October 17, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2016 Barber is certainly edging closer now as I went and saw in person a few weeks ago, seeing her has given me a fresh perspective. Dug out the turnings for her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted October 22, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello everyone, Just thought I'd share the latest progress of phase 3 of the 4mm scale 009 gauge dewinton with a start on its patterns now with some seen here. The chassis is built rigid which runs quite well but the final test build will have compensation tried again now the faults have been rectified on this model. Now to do the cylinders and cams and test the Vertical valve gear! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted February 26, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hello everyone, Just a little update on myself and the business. At the moment I unfortunately have not got a lot of time available to develop new kits and parts as I used to. This is due to a number of factors like the amount of orders coming in which sometimes can be delayed up to 3 weeks as I'm usually out driving or maintaining my small fleet of buses and coaches which takes up a lot of my time as the sole person with the odd help of friends driving when they can, an example is I was out for 15 hours, (not all driving I will add) on Thursday covering for where the railways couldn't run due to trees being blown over. I'm hoping from mid March once one bus has been mot'd and another put on the road I will have more free time to crack on all in 009 with barber, unfortunately pattern making went wrong so I put it aside. The 009 de winton and 00/em/p4 ironstone side tipping wagon. I will be attending exhibitions scalefour north Wakefield in April and expo em Bracknell in mid May. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks for the update RT, as you know i cant wait to get my hands on Barber but all good things come to those who wait so quite happy to sit back and save the pennies until you get chance to pick it up again. All the best James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
