JaymzHatstand Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 That, that is bloody gorgeous! If my E looks even half as good I've I've got some paint onto it, I'll be more than happy! Which lining transfers have you used? Fox? As despite having a good chat with the erstwhile Mr Rathbone at Warley and improving my hand lining, I don't think it's quite up to scratch yet! I presume you've gone to Narrow Planet for the plates? Cheers J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted December 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2019 Have you got the missing bit of bottom end plank, to allow the incline chain to pass behind the headstock, as denoted by the theta symbol?

The holes in the ends is really a job to be done 'in the flat', I can live with it. I've quite a few that I bought built, it was the only way then, they're getting tidied up as they're not badly built really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted December 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Jus' checkin'. My question arose out of my compulsive need to find out what the theta symbol denoted! I suppose that so long as 75644 is at the "top" end of the train, all is well, since it'll be hard to see between the end pillars of wagons coupled together.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted December 27, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2019 Santa, aka Mrs WF (well, she needs to be a saint to put up with me!), gave me an LNER J72 for Christmas, a couple of hours work and it's well on the way to becoming NER 2181. All vacuum pipes removed and holes filled, GS buffers changed for NER tapered, twin handled smokebox dart changed for handle and wheel, Armstrong Whitworth plate removed and of course LNER lettering replaced with NER. It will also sometime soon get re-gauged to EM and number plates when they arrive. 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! Something I have indeed been looking at doing with mine! I'm presuming Gibson buffers and the wheel and handle from the spares box? Looks bloomin lovely! Merry Christmas to you and Lady Wordsell! Apparently, my better(?) half informs me that a J72 isn't festive enough! It still went around the tree though! Maybe an E1 will fare better! All the best Cheers J Edited December 28, 2019 by JaymzHatstand Added photo 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted January 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 Been messing about with a D4 twin bolster, not sure where it came from, may have been given it, but it was almost built and it was in a bit of a state, not really square and solder everywhere! It's a lot better now but not perfect. 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2020 All 51L/Wizard - NER diagrams C2 and C10 - is the conclusion of my sleuthing. I think it's the earlier version of the C2 I'd want as the most representative North Eastern wagon c. 1902 but a difficulty seems to be finding published information on quantities and build dates. One can never have too many wagons! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can never have too many wagons! A C2 and 2 C10s, I need a couple more wagons for 1908, the C2 will be one of them (A late build with diagonal strapping and 2a axleboxes, 1900 on, just in time for you!) and one of the C10s, which will have to be a brand new early A... numbered wagon as the started building them in '08. The other C10 will be in the later N E livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2020 Here's an idea: the same wagon - one built before 1908 - as it would have appeared at each of your three dates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
