The first three were part of a box of wagons (mostly Parkside kits) that were given to our club a few years ago, they were being cleared out so a few of us took what we wanted and I took the box with all the loose junk in the bottom but quite a few wheel sets in among it. One problem that I have found is that most of the brake gear was missing but a rummage though my boxes at home came up with most of what I needed. The Plate wagon was a bit of a problem as there was no brake gear at all. The solution to this was to build another plate wagon kit. This might seem strange but I had always intended to build it a a fitted version, see below, (I'd built a connisuer one many years ago when he did 4mm kits) and so there was a set of brake gear spare. One problem with the brakes on these kits is both sets of shoes and push rods are identical so the shoes were cut off one and reversed. The axleguard tie bars need replacing with a brass strip, the plastic ones bent as the kit dried out! New builds. For the fitted version new etched 'Vs' were added from an unidentified etch, plastic shoes and vac cylinder from the spares box, push rods from brass strip and etched levers. Correct cast buffers and vac pipes were added to the headstocks. Another of the new builds was this LMS CCT. I've painted it bauxite instead of red as the instructions say as recommended by Jenkinson & Essery in LMS std coaching stock (vol 1) All the rest were wagons that needed completing. They all need weathering and couplings adding. Still to be finished are two LNER cattle wagons, a Southern CCT and an LNER one. Great work Paul - looks like my O gauge plate wagons have shrunk!. The G5 looks like it will have plenty of weight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted February 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 The 4 opens have had a coat of matt varnish and couplings fitted, ready for service. To be able to have a C10 running in 1908 it had to be from the first batch - A254 to 99, not sure exactly when they entered service but if I have to stretch dates by a few months... J141 is from a photo in the NERA archive and it really neads a 12T capacity plate near the top right corner. 92814 is also from a photo, this time in LNER wagons. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted May 9, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2020 Been pottering about with a MR cattle wagon that I built many years ago, amazingly I managed to build it square and quite neatly. I've replaced the buffers with whitemetal ones and the plastic rods in the sides were a bit warped so they have been changed for brass wire. The roof will be removable and the load is loose so I can run it empty. Next it needs a bit/lot of white splashing about... 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted May 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 9, 2020 I note use of the partition, as in the photo: NRM DY 9164, released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) licence by the National Railway Museum. Derby cattle docks, 26 November 1909. No. 17902 looks to be pretty much ex-works, probably on its first outing. So, bit of a time-traveller if you were planning to use it for 1908! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack P Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 That compensation beam looks great. I hate to sound like i'm dumbing it down, but is it just a piece of brass bent to shape, and soldered to the bar between the drivers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a rod soldered between the frames with a tube over it and the beam is soldered to this so it can pivot. the beam is a length of bullhead rail which can be adjusted to get the chassis level. Got the rods on the B tonight and all runs smoothly 'hard wired'. 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first of these two has now been finished. And seen with a couple of slightly filthy mates giving the three main body styles. 26 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
