rope runner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Have you considered basing an 0-6-0 industrial body kit around the Electrotren chassis? Like a Hudswell Clarke side tank for instance? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/foxfield/Hudswell_Clarke_0-6-0T_NCB_No140_Caverswall_Road_15July2005.JPG Paul A.

Absolutely, there are numerous 0-6-0t designs of which I am planning to produce and with this chassis, however, once I have completed some other kits I am in the middle of, but more on them later. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If you're looking for inspirations for smaller mainline loco's how about some of the following: http://www.lner.info/locos/Y/y.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_0-4-0ST Similar to what you already produce and true scale models of 0-4-0 layout are something of an underrepresented area!

Butler Henderson Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I don't have any specific at the moment, but there are a few possibilities, however you are welcome to name a few, it will give me an idea of which one to start with. The Junior 0-6-0 chassis that comes with the 0-6-0 saddle tank (for example Greg), and I think its the same one with the diesel, is roughly about right (with the obvious exception of being inside cylinder) for a North London Tank. I make it about 0.5mm too big in wheel diameter (4'6" compared to 4'4") and the wheelbase appears to be 5'9"+5'9" while the NLR tank is 5'8"+5'8". Drawings of the NLR tank are on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrailway/8245782886/sizes/o/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrailway/8244715397/sizes/o/in/photostream/ The Thomas/Stuart 0-6-0 chassis appears to be 5'3"+5'3" again with 4'6" wheels which to be rarer combination.

Thank you for doing the work for me, I have never seen these diagrams before, only one question, will a kit of this prototype sell? Surely the class is famed for some of their work on the Cromford & High Peak Railway and No. 58850 preserved on the Bluebell, so lets hear it, how many of you would want a kit?

Friar Tuck Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Isn't there already a Gem kit, which is currently available - an a Branchlines chassis to go with it, come to think of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Putting together a Branchlines chassis compared to using the Bachmann chassis is a significantly different challennge and I suspect some who might be put off building the chassis kit would go for a simpler solution, particularly if the outside valve gear was to be simple to add, for example as with the GEM 009 Bagnall 0-6-0ST.

ARCModels Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi there, already built an 0458 and about to begin on the 14", is there any chance of another run of the SECR H class at all? I am glad to hear that you are enjoying my kits, unfortunately, regarding the H class, due to increasing demand on improving current kits and in the development of new ones (yet to be announced), I am afraid that I cannot spare the time. I am sorry to disappoint you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweasel Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Many thanks for your answer to my question. What's done about the cylinders? I would imagine there's plenty of room for Liquid Lead or similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Many thanks for your answer to my question. What's done about the cylinders? I would imagine there's plenty of room for Liquid Lead or similar? Although there is plenty of weight, as these kits are designed to reuse the ballast weight from the donor model, it is possible to fill the area in front of this weight in the smokebox area, but not too much otherwise the loco might become unstable.

OliverSR Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Here is a suggestion for you. The southern 0756 or 0757 class could be a suggestion for a kit based on the electrotren chassis as it appears similar wheelbase and design and would be of interest to southern modellers such as myself and would also nicely compliment your ironside kit for obscure southern locos.

I would like to add that the Andrew Barclay 14" 0-4-0st kit is now Sold Out pending improvements and the inclusion of a fully enclosed cab rear. Also, the 9" Andrew Barclay is expected early in March. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
