cornamuse Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 As I don't think these are ever likely to sell, anyone fancy the hearse van to go with the other kits I have put up here? The model has been posted before, but not the parts for it. Have fun festiniog style hearse van kit instructions.pdf Hearse van 7mm scale narrow gauge.pdf Have had a few downloads of the models, but no-one finished one - or not seen it yet... would love to see someone else try them! cheers Andy 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardybloke Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I've been rather busy over the last few months so I missed the second half of this thread... very nice Simplex, carriages and hearse van, Andy... I may have to try some of these when I clear my workbench a little more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey45uk Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I've only just found this thread and have to say what wonderful models like you I prefer to use card to model in although at the moment in N and HO, I have been tempted by 0-16.5 in the past and having seen this thread it is calling on me to try it again so I have downloaded a couple of your kits and will have a go at them in the next week. I was wondering if the coach kit would possibly fit onto the Peco Coach chassis kit? Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornamuse Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 sorry its been so long getting back - been manic for a while straight answer is, i am not sure, but probably if you dont mind wrecking a good chassis kit personally, I would get a couple of cheap chassis off evilbay and cut them up - much cheaper, too andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesperus Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Same as nobody else has posted photos up yet, it's time to drag this excellent thread back to the top of the board. I've never tried 0-16.5 before but a free model is not to be knocked, I think it's great and mine is only rough because I'm rather ham fisted. I tried the card chassis but the wheels kept falling out so an old HO scale coach bogie was liberated from the bits box an shorn on unwanted detail. The loco is the body from an 0 gauge Manning Wardle that I'm part way through building, based on a Hornby 0-4-0 chassis. For the photo it's sat on an unmodified Hornby chassis from the bits box. Time to try a coach and then...... Thanks for posting the kits up Cornamuse, it's kept me relatively sane on a horrible rainy day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornamuse Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 you are very welcome, ta I think I should have designed it round a cut down chassis in the first place Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesperus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You have shown yourself that card chassis can work very well and Jim has proved it. I'm not the best of modellers but a general level of skintness will see me try most things especially card modelling as it doesn't cost much. I've got a few 70's H0 scale trainset coachs which might donate their running gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornamuse Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have found similar problems with the slate wagon, though - I think it is that the tolerances are much tighter in the smaller size - friction seems to be a bigger issue too, although that might be the lack of proper bearings. what do you have in mind for a layout?

Hesperus Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I really havn't got the space to start on anything big. So I was thinking of copying another RMWebber by modelling an enthusiasts back garden oval in a boxfile. The difference being that this garden line is owned by a scruffier type of chap that has it to test the stock that he is restoring for a preserved line. Mud, old cars and piles of useful bits of wood and metal will feature along with 2 sidings, one into a shed (think Wesley from 'Last of the summer wine) and another onto a trailer behind an old Land Rover. Though all this might alter a bit if I find more links like this http://www.ingr.co.uk/sar_locos.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Goat Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 These are impressive models. I tend to use wood or tin... Sometimes plasticard... I have in the past tried card when younger, but my construction techniques needed to be improved upon as I was younger then. I am thinking of giving card a go just to see how things turn out... But I will use free card from packets of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
