Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Hi Phil I attach some photos of my build which I really need to finish .I obtained some parts from JLTRT when they strted to produce their model .Notably new buffers ,fuel tank and bogie side frames and pipe work . DSC_0001.JPG DSC_0002.JPG DSC_0003.JPG DSC_0004.JPG DSC_0005.JPG In addition I had some new indicator panels etched which I had to do quite a bit of fettling as there was a mix up with the size . DSC_0007.JPG DSC_0006.JPG DSC_0009.JPG Regards Andrew Very promising build Andrew, would be a great shame not finish it I have re-sited the grills as you have & intend to add hinges etc as you also have Those brass headcode panels look the business too! do you have any spares to sell ?........the castings in that area are cr@p on mine & it would be a good solution Edited August 1, 2018 by Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Andrew, I notice you have scratch built your valances, I used the brass ones but they have proved to be a real pain to fill, but I'm nearly there with them now Are you modelling any missing panels? & have you decided on the identity/livery yet?

Druid Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi Phil I have sent a PM re the head code boxes . I intend to model 6354 Blue , yellow ends as there are some good photos . Re the valances having read the article in Traction by Richard Dockerill (incidental 6343) I just couldn't shape and solder the brass panels that came with the kit so opted for evergreen strips paired down with a brass former. I have modelled some as slightly open but none missing . I had intend to buy a JLTRT class 22 but missed the boat . I will more than likely purchase the LLC one once funds are available. I do have a whitemetal and resin one by Mendip Models ? based on El Crappo kits that proved to much of a challenge and remains in the box . A bit crude now by todays standards but can be made into reasonable rep with some time and effort as demonstrated by Mr Daniels on his photo site . Cheers.

I have Richards Traction article too, but I don't think mine will be up to that standard ......but I will do my best The LLC 22 is tempting, I did inquire on their FB page for under Valance info, but no reply yet I'm also tempted by the Heljan Hoover though now that LLC have gone back on the Crowdfunded 50 offer (I was a crowdfunder) Edited August 2, 2018 by Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 What started life as a very nice much modified Heljan body shell by Shaun Davidson using JLTRT & Steve Beattie parts is now developing into a rather nice class 25/1. Having spent the last couple of months scratch building a chassis & bogies out of aluminium & brass, I have also added Heljan spares for the outer bogie frames & fuel tanks etc. Next job once I'm completely happy with the cosmetic appearance of the loco will be to add radio control gear & possibly a DCC soundchip .......... 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted November 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2018 Looking good! Is this the one where he grafted a JLTRT lower cab on to a Heljan body or another one? What’s the random clean patch on the side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yes its that one I think? But it was a lot more complicated than that. The loco is not finished yet, the blue patches are where the Scotish numbers were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CME and Bottlewasher Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Always nice to see your work here Phill. But, I agree, that's similar with MS-Modelling-Media in some respects too. And the glitches/mobile app version is clunky to say the least, mods/admin don't reply to queries unless they're raised as a new Thread either?

We've just had our layout thread moved into the 7mm section partially in the hope it might get a little more attention rather than getting lost in the 'Layouts' section. I'm planning on getting out in the garden so will have to read back through this thread when I get chance. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I used to post quite a lot of responses, but was the recipient of a vitriolic attack that branded my posts as useless and me as trying to use RMWeb as free magazine...so I post very little now.

robertc Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi Phil, I remember you stating on your original thread in the old RMweb site that you preferred a certain brand of wagon wheel for outdoors as it had a deeper flange than most finescale wheels. Can you remind me which type that is please . cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
