No need as I have a couple of your builds remember.:D

 

True but a different variant would look good in a train on ANTB... 

 

;)

It's a lovely kit to build Robin. 

 

Think those silver buffer shanks may need painting in mind.. :)

 

Thanks for the snap.. :D

For everyone in this thread:

 

Hunslet 16" 0-6-0 Saddle Tank - 00 Gauge

 

And most importantly ;) 

 

WR ‘15XX’ 0-6-0PT - 00 Gauge

 

@gwrrob looks like we got another GWR loco off of our wishlist in rtr form!

 

Can anyone with the Irwell Press book The Pannier Papers No.6 on this class tell me how many pages are on the 15xx please.

I say old beans, ae you aware of these? meat was an important 'export' from the west to Lundin until the early 60s. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/158185-new-container-kit-from-osborns-models-2mm-4mm-scales/&tab=comments#comment-4120559

, hopefully roped correctly.

Vehicle loading - easiest summarized as "Make a cross - keep it straight, start low and end higher"

 

You have three planes of movement (up/down, left/right and front/back")

 

Crossing chains or ropes at either end gives control over "front/back, left/right".    Un-crossed chains/ropes allow for a lot of sideways movement.

 

Starting low and ending higher sorts the third problem.

 

So crossed chains/ropes in a straight line from the floor to a shackle or suitable attachment point on the chassis of the load. 

 

Sudden braking on that load would see the top planks behind the Jeep being compressed and more slack available on the ropes = more movement.  If the load were heavier, and thus have more momentum,  the planks might even snap giving a lot more slack on the restraints.

 

Wheel chocks nailed into the wagon floor help too.

 

The Jeep would have rings or shackles fitted probably on the bumpers close to where they meet the chassis rails.

Thanks Tinker and it wasn't a problem to redo it. I also purchased this rather nice resin stowage kit for the jeep , heads up on this by @toboldlygo and will place some of the items in the wagon with it. Photos when finished. Something different load wise and I even fancy doing another.:rolleyes:

A lovely picture Robin. And that lowly hut, a few generations back, might have been "the office" for a few men maintaining the line. Different world indeed - and so pleasing that the preservation movement has enabled us to see a little of it.

redoguk's sets are the sets that keep giving. I've used one of their 1/48th sets on 4 pieces of armour so far..

There's also a Czech Company called Blackdog, who do bespoke accessory kits for an awful lot of plastic kits in 1/72/76th, 1/48th & 1/35th..

I’m not sure the leaning hut chimney will be there for much longer!

Some time ago possibly in this thread, possibly @checkrail’s thread or maybe even somewhere else, mention was made of some photographs of clerestory corridor coaches which retained their full length bogie footsteps until the late 40s.  While I have now set to work on converting a Hornby clerestory brake to a K17 for my TPO I also sourced a C15 to update/ re-side. So I’m trying (without success) to find the appropriate posts...

I seem to recall some of the following photos were part of the discussion:

The Bachmann 94xx topic is a hot topic at the moment and if anyone wants to read a superb review of the GWR version may I guide you in the direction of the @PMP blog , Albion Yard. Very comprehensive indeed.
