George Hamlin 1 Posted March 12 Hi can anyone help? the NER days 7mm kit is of the 1908 version by which time photos show some form of radiator on the Clerestory roof. I can find no plans or pictures showing this clearly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furness Wagon 1,794 Posted March 12 I have got one in the to do box. I have meaning to build it for a few years. Any tips? Marc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Rabbit 1,301 Posted March 13 There was a detailed article in the Gauge O Guild Gazette November 2014 from someone who had built a 7mm scale model from Worsley Works (rather than NER days). From memory, I think the radiator is something which has caused problems/uncertainty previously. (At the risk of disillusioning/disappointing George H, there probably isn't a photo/drawing...). I've had a quick look but it looks like something I need to do some digging on to refresh my memory, if I get anywhere, will post further details. Alternatively, I know at least two members of the Pontefract club have built NER Days 7mm kits, also I think a few [non-club] members of this forum have as well. Any ideas/information welcome... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mvrattler 50 Posted March 17 Mark and Marc, Buit one several years ago and a second is partly constructed being placed in the work in progress cupboard because I needed something I didnt have from the portable work table. Have also made a folder of the construction pics as well as the RM article so I think it will have to be sent by WeTransfer, so need to have both of your email address to [email protected] Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerry Hi Kerry All well received - thank you very much indeed It looks as though the Railcar is moving up the roundtuit list Mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furness Wagon 1,794 Posted March 21 I found the kit in the stack last night. Need to get some S7 wheels and some replacement castings as they are a little holey. Marc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dava 2,675 Posted March 21 Sad that the Autocars operating visit to the GCR appears to be over as all running is suspended and its turn on the Mountsorrel branch was cancelled before that. The seating is too close for social distancing. Vincent Raven never thought of that. Thanks for the great experiences the visit has given us.

Marc I have the Worsley Works 4mm etches. Have just obtained some Fox bogies too, so one pair will be allocated to this project. I'm going to build the power bogie for it myself - am considering using a DS10 and a High Level gearbox, but practical suggestions will be much appreciated Now, all I need to do is wait for flights to recommence after 13/4 (Company decreed 'earliest date to consider any crew changes') and I can get home...

The White Rabbit 1,301 Posted March 21 Sorry for the delay in replying. What with work and trying to look after with two 'vulnerable' people, life's been somewhat chaotic lately. Two plans and an old photo attached. I think that's probably the best we can do re the radiator. There are some photos at https://electricautocar.co.uk/archive/ - I think the sixth one (leaving Scarborough) and the 14th ('Autocar') probably give the best views of the radiator. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presently in the Puerto Rico area, then off Jamaica to do ship to ship transfer of more LNG cargo into our tanks. Ship is now on charter out here for a while. Out of harm's way? Well, we're probably better protected from it from most folk, whilst we remain offshore. It's when we go into port that we will be at risk - but we will limit numbers of visitors, and there is no shore leave going to be granted. Good hygiene to be followed too. I suspect that the biggest danger will be when we are eventually able to go home, depending on where we get off... It's difficult for us all - I was due off a week ago today. There are 30 ships in my Company's fleet, trading all over the world, and we are all 'in the same boat', as it were. No crew changes at all, anywhere, until 13/4 at the earliest... Also not good for our families, of course, but what can we do? One of those things. Still, fortunately we have t'interweb, which helps. Mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Rabbit 1,301 Posted May 24 Just a snippet - re the Rails model, the artwork has now been approved and decorated samples are expected 'soon'. Re the full sized article, as you'd expect, very little happening right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
