With number 7 on the way I'm looking at making sure the 5 IPG locos ate correct to the photos I have of them, in 1900. I read that most of them had their condensing gear removed from 1895 onwards. So far the count is: 40 Brighton 54 Waddon 57 Thames 82 Boxhill 627 Fenchurch 735 LSWR there is a second Boxhill on its way not sure what name its going to be. Marc It’s fairly easy Marc - easier to remove them from the smokebox first by pulling them out horizontally. You can then unplug them from the front of the side tanks - they will leave large holes which you will need to fill though. You will also need to sand/file off the locating ring on the sides of the smokebox. This is mine a couple of weeks ago before and after I’d completed this procedure: I’ve also modified this one by fitting metal brake shoes (available as spares from DCC Supplies), and changing it from Air to Vacuum braked by removing the Westinghouse pump (again vac pipes available as spares from DCC Supplies). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks for that. I will have to touch up the ends of the tanks does anyone know the colour match for the Dapol LBSCR Improved green? Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Phoenix precision have a LBSCR improved. I would start with that and lighten or darken it to suit the Dapol paint. Norman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Major problem with the phoenix paint its correct colour and the Dapol colour isn't. I have 4 different IG locos 3 of the original Dapol's and Boxhill from Rails none of them match the HMSR colour patch or come close to the Phoenix colour.

Did Dapol ever release the Terrier in the WC&P livery? Back in the 70’s and I was in my teens, I used to live near Weston-super-Mare and tried to trace the trackbed of the WC&P and would like get something to remember it by. I know they do it in OO scale but a O gauge one would be awesome. This is mine, which I picked up as a 2nd at Warley a few years ago All the best Katy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first "O" Gauge engine, LB&SCR #643, by mail order, and found that the left side looking forward handrail was not properly attached to the boiler at the front stanchion. Looking at it I concluded that there should be a hole drilled into the boiler into which a straight handrail stanchion plugged, but instead there was an indent in the boiler in which the end of an "L" shaped stanchion rested. I assumed this was a manufacturing defect, and was about to send the engine back for a replacement when I saw another LB&SCR #643 on ebay with exactly the same problem. I am wondering if this is how it is supposed to be? I attach some pics illustrating the issue. I'd be grateful for comments from folks more knowledgable about this model than me. Thanks, Bill. Bill, this is the photo as it was advertised to start with and shows the proper placement of the parts. Hope that helps, Cheers, Ian Edited January 3, 2021 by ianmaccormac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMY Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Just finished my models of GWR No. 5 and No. 6 (both adapted from the Dapol model of "Portishead"). After studying some photos of the prototypes, there were a surprising number of changes required to the standard model. And plenty of detail differences between the two as well!

Slight off topic but I went to reorder some parts I've had before, and their prices have gone through the roof recently. Asking £5 for one handrail knob is a bit excessive.

Quarryscapes Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Anybody in the know cast some light on brakes for me? I'm modelling DIDO on the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire, an A1 with mods. I need to swap the wood brake blocks to metal ones - however DCC supplies have 2 listings for each type, with no photos and no parts diagram available to identify the correct ones. Options available are: I guess I need either one of these or is it both? Brake Assembly Kit A1X Metal Brake Block – O Gauge Terrier £7.20 Inc. Vat Terrier O Brake Assembly Set A1X £10.00 Inc. Vat Wooden ones as well are a mystery: Brake Assembly Kit A1 Wooden Brake Block – O Gauge Terrier £7.20 Inc. Vat Terrier O Brake Assembly Wood Set A1 £10.00 Inc.
