cromptonnut Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Now finished and to be released at Warley in a month is the Londonderry/Seaham Harbour Chaldron coal wagon. This features cast parts with etched nickel silver brake gear which is very delicate to represent the spacing between the layers. This looks exactly what I might have been looking for, for a 'wierd project' I had in mind a long time ago. I can't see anything about it on your website. Can you give me an idea of price and, more importantly, what scale it is please? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted November 1, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm afraid i do not know at the moment, Parkside Dundas might still have some?

Ok, no hurry, I can wait Thinking these might have fitted nicely as O-9 wagons in a mine operated by gnomes... it's a long story.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 1, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 Not quite in stock, just awaiting the etches to arrive for the valve gear and thats it now i've got some resin keeperplates. My try at doing resin was fairly successful but found it too tight a fit to the chassis so i need to expreiment a bit more with these but not far off. No i havn't started on Barber yet, i've decided for her i need a new type of keeperplate which i will design one and hopefully manufacture myself.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 1, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) HI all, Shown at Warley was the pre-production of my first all new 4mm scale, 00/EM/P4 locomotive kit. Well heres the photos. Manning Wardle Old Class I Bear in mind theres alterations needed before it can be released which looks likely to between 2 and 3 months. There is 4 cabs, 2 safety valve covers (which i will offer for sale seperately shortly) 2 types of buffers including extended bumb beffers, perfect for the chaldron wagon kit 2 coal bunkers, 2 different smokebox doors. It will be possible to model the Colonel Stephens, Morous and Sidlesham, the former used to work just down the road from me!

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 3, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2011 Price wise for the Old Class I, will probably be around the £80 mark? A K class, whilst i do not have a scale drawing but going by the dimensions from a book i have, seem very similar except for the for the rear wheelbase length, some Old Class I's got re-classed as K's during overhaul just to add to the confusion!

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 9, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi all, for those interested i have listed packs of 1mm diameter blackened brass chain in 1 metre lengths and 4mm scale mis-cast small ingot moulds going for half the normal price on ebay under member "rtmodels-kits" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 17, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi all, now fully stocked up on etches so the pecketts will be available and those on current order will be dispatched monday morning. Test etches have just arrived all for 4mm scale 00/EM/P4 which includes the Austerity 0-6-0ST body detailing sheet which i will get on with testing tonight. Also which will come as a surprise to many, etched cylinder drain pipes for LNER later 3 pipes A3 and A4's and also a 2 pipe version for early A4's. The 3 pipe A4 version will need trimming back for when these was cut back on the real locos as these has been done to full length to cater for both cases. As its coming up to christmas and the delays to the post these won't be available until the new year. A3's will be £1.80 a pair A4's, either version £2.00 a pair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 18, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2011 i will do Horsetan but it wont until the end of the year (2012 that is!) once i've cleared the current projects and theres not many to go now!

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 19, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi all, heres the photos of the test build of the 4mm scale austerity/J94 body detailing etch. Not everything has been fitted but some minimal tweaking will be required. Note how much the larger the scale front window frames are compared to the original openings that havn't been altered! You will see the complete etch and whats on it as well. Also are photos of the LNER A3 and A4 cylinder drain pipes. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Right, that J94 body detail etch is going on my shopping list. i will do Horsetan but it wont until the end of the year (2012 that is!) once i've cleared the current projects and theres not many to go now! *waits patiently* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0rris Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 That looks top draw, I sense I'll be placing an order for some Auserity detailing parts in the new year, it could make quite a fun little side project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I do like the cab window frames Robert. Neither of mine have those (although I have enlarged the windows - they make a huge difference to the look of the Dapol/Hornby model). The best thing about them, so far as I am concerned, is that the front windows can be modelled open. See here for what I mean. Are these going to be available separately from the rest of the body detailing parts? Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
