Andrew P Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm glad your going for the Lined Black / Late Emblem mate, they look very smart in that livery, but also suit the Maunsell Green as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2019 The water cart tender isn't actually a rigid frame, it should have two bogies. I do have a lot of etches for these after building a couple of locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalKat Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You beat me to it Michael ......... I was wondering about how that would have negotiated turning Emma Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks for the input guys l thought they would be on two bogies, but the drawing says different going by a brake shoe and the brake gear all suggest that it is a rigid frame ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalKat Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can't immediately find a 'real' drawing, however you could do worse then looking at this....... http://brassmasters.co.uk/Downloads/LSWR 4000 tender Instructions.pdf Emma Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks Emma / Michael you were both correct all the 8 wheeled tenders were on bogies really cant take drawings as 100% right live and learn, thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 George. The others are right about bogies. Unfortunately your drawing is not very clear. What looks like a link between the two behind the second wheel and brake. Is in fact the bottom of the water tank. The tender is very similar to the Urie ones apart from having internal bearings on external. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello Peter, Nice to here from you again, yes l made an error trusting drawings, but all is not lost as my recent research has found having looked a T9 book (thanks lan) and watching various videos with 30120 is that the bogies hardly move when negotiating points etc so l have just added a cut in the middle so they look like bogies, far better than alterations.. ps whats on your workbench ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Good recovery. Me, nothing on bench at moment except a half built Maunsell composite. But still planning my layout. Will get back to the bench in October, after taking mum back to UK. Then decision time, as I have ready to build a GW Saint, a Deans goods, a Taff A class I think, well an 0-6-2T, and an LMS 2P. Plus one or two for me including a Finney7 M7, an A12 and superheated 700. Mostly post on WT now. Not fond of the new layout here and on the GOG forums. Still read and follow somethings, but don't post work very often. Edited September 11, 2019 by N15class 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2019 Would this etch (.022" brass) be any use to you? Includes bogies, brakes and steps for T9/watercart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yes it's 7mm, it's about £8's worth and £1.50 postage. I did it originally for one of my own jobs but it went on a production etch so we have a few of them in stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree George, for a start the holes for the handrails are 'drainpipe' size, you may find it easier at this stage to solder some brass behind and re-drill 0.7mm holes to suit the correct handrail size!!! The ploughs are the other pain, bit by bit is the best way!!! Love the T9, looking very good George. Jinty 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
