The photo of unrebuilt No. 1753, taken before 1894, shows straight brake hangers with skinny brake blocks and pull rods behind the wheels. The photo of rebuilt No. 979 (in Wilson Worsdell's version of the green livery, so at latest not too far into the 20the century) has what appear to be the same hangers and blocks but outside pull rods. There's a photo of 979 (NERA archive) that I'm working from, it's painted black and it has slightly joggled brake rods. The original saddle tanks have just about every conceivable variation in brakes... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted February 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2022 Now in its 11th year of construction, class Q No 1904 is slowly making progress, it now has numberplates and lining is getting there. 29 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted February 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2022 And another making progress, BTP No 1055, I think all of the lining is done, a bit ragged in places and there's a bit of tidying up to do, also need to find the safety valve cover and the buffers. I had made up a crew but I've a feeling it went in the class B. 27 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted June 13, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2022 Class 964a No 979 has seen a bit of progress in the last week or so. Handrails, coal rails, safety valves and a few other bits. The chimney is still loose though. 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted September 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2022 Thought a bit of an update due, not a lot has happened lately, but a few interesting little bits. The 964A has progressed, next job is lining... Started this L&Y open a good few months ago and made an effort to finish it yesterday, sheeted this morning. Not 100% sure the sheet is correct for 1918/19 but I like it, it adds a bit more variation in colours. NER lever frame shelter built for a little project I'm working on, this must be about as small as signal cabins get! NER weigh office, based on the William Bell design for the Forge Valley stations but with slight variations. 33 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted October 16, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 Been working on some NER cattle wagons this week. (No rooves yet) One is a fairly recent (51L) kit but the other two I bought at the Darlington show in 2021, one is an old D&S kit with a blue card originally bought for £3.45. The other is a very old kit... £2.75! Early 80s? 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted November 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2022 Started an old Bill Bedford NER outside framed brake van kit today and it's going together rather well despite there being a ridiculous number of parts! There's 18 parts in each side to get them to this stage, there's over 6 hours to get to this stage but everything seems to fit reasonably well and it ain't half solid. 29 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted November 6, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 It now has wheels, but surely not in service yet? 28 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Chas Levin Posted November 7, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2022 Nice looking vehicle though. I know what you mean about the solidity of that kind of multi-part outside frame construction: I made a Jidenco/Falcon GNR Fish van, including cutting lots of brass bar to length, with multiple overlays and so forth and while some aspects of the kit were a little awkward (I know I'm not alone in thinking that!) you certainly couldn't knock the solidity of those walls! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
