kes Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 You're going to need a bigger trophy cabinet! Congratulations - well deserved! Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted December 24, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2018 So, the first proper workbench update in quite a while, I've not been completely idle, I've done a bit. It's been a busy year exhibiting then a bit of decorating meant not a great lot got done at the bench. I'll summarise what's been done here. I've painted and lettered a couple of NER vans, an F4 Insulated and F6 Fish. They need a coat of matt varnish. A Cambrian Rlys Open built from a Cambrian Models kit and lettered using transfers from the Welsh Railways Research Circle for the sides and my own numbers on the ends. An LSWR van also from a Cambrian kit. And a H&B D18 van, built many years ago from a D&S kit and recently repainted (still a bit of touching up to do) from late LNER livery, not really sure why it never got a door handle... 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2019 A trio of NER B1s, all slightly different, two will have No. 2A grease axleboxes and Morton Duplex brakes but one will have diagonal brake shoes and one will have them on both sides, the third will be a later build and will have No. 2 oil boxes and Morton Cam brakes. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted February 27, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2019 A couple of hoppers tonight, P5/P17 11/12 ton, they've been on the go for a good few months, I've only been working on them at the club so I get a bit done then start talking to someone then work stops... then Boris says something crude... Anyway, they're almost done. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Looking forward to seeing these in action, presumably with home-made transfers? I know someone who could do with a set too! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2019 The P17s are finally done, it's taken a while but I'm pleased with them. The B1s are painted and just need transfers. And look what I picked up today and yes it really was £3.50. 1 minute ago, Compound2632 said: Are these all 51L kits?

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted March 16, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 16, 2019 Geen and gone. Oh dear. I'm glad you replied before I was rude about your sheets... I'm completely green about that Ratio kit - I never had the D2 2-plank wagon when they were available back in the 1980s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have been 70s, the list on the back of the box says a cattle wagon was due in 1980. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some discussion starting here. The conclusion was that they came out in 1982 but you've provided evidence to the contrary - however you've been over-charged. Bill provided the last word on the fate of these kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted March 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2019 Is it that long ago? I am sure I have some of these (sans wheels) somewhere. Sold most of the ones I built on Ebay. They scrub up well. As for the North Eastern kits They look good Paul. I have one to build but can't remember which one it is. Hopefully it will look ok..but not as good as the ones you have built. Keep up the good wagon bashing! Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Those P17s are very smart indeed! I look forward to seeing them at Easter! I don't suppose there will be transfer sheets available for them at the show will there?! Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 23, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2019 Next on the bench is a couple of single bolsters to diagram D1 and D2, one early with Morten Duplex brakes (diagonal brake blocks) and grease axleboxes and one later with cam brakes and oil 'boxes. Axleboxes to fit next then the bolsters. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummm. Does not compute with K. Hoole, An Illustrated History of NER Locomotives (OPC, 1998), but I'm putting my money on p. 19 in that volume. I suspect this might be confirmed by a little green volume I have but unfortunately that's on a shelf in the bedroom and Mrs Compound has gone to bed and turned the light off...
