CME and Bottlewasher Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Yes it's the new PCB which is great too! The chassis 1/8 plate alluminiumn & I would expect between 3 & 7 hours running time (similar to my Micromotive RC loco's) Hi Phill,Thanks, much appreciated, all sounds great to me.

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Are the numbers on the correct end of the Peak?.....never seen that before.....unless a querk of 70's TOPS renumbering?? Probably a prototype for everything so was intrigued..... I think you may be right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Now has cab roofs after lots of filing & sanding, I have also fitted the nose ends. I was contemplating gluing these parts on but in the end I bit the bullet & soldered these white metal parts on & I have to say I was quite pleased with the results... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I am also messing about with this old Class 25 /2 kit although I am less convinced I'm winning with this one? The body will not get anymore modifications now as I have spent enough time on it , but I will do a bit more work on the chassis. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CME and Bottlewasher Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Mmmm, do a few mods to the chassis parts then review? I get the feeling, Phill, that you think that it looks good from afar, but far from good? Edited July 2, 2018 by CME and Bottlewasher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Well done with the SB Class 22, Phill. You look to have done a far better job of the windscreens than I did, & the cab roof. I just ditched the castings & used brass sheet & miliput, but did lose some of the subtle contours in the process. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ditched the castings & used brass sheet & miliput, but did lose some of the subtle contours in the process. You made a great job of yours Jordan .......could I ask how you went about doing the body underskirts/ access flaps or whatever they were called? Bit more soldering & filling on the Class 22 today mainly around the cab step area. I have also trial fitted the bogies & fuel tanks. I have also done a bit of research on this class & i am deciding which member of the class this loco will become. I had already decided it will be finished in BR Blue with full yellow ends & I want one of the last few members of the class based at Laira or Bristol Bath Road. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 For the valances I cut them into the individual sections, & made a forming tool from a piece of seel plate with a steel rod of aprox 1.5mm diameter soldered along it. Each piece of valance was then held against the former in a vice, & folded up over the rod to form the curve along the valance. I did have some photos of the process but may have deleted them as it was a few years ago now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 If you can’t find your photos, I’ve got copies and will post them tomorrow. Dave If you could, Dave, that would be most helpful, as I don't have them any more. Phil; remember too that the cast springs for the bogies are 'wound' the wrong way; I made my own from solder wrapped around a plastic rod. ... and that one set of grills is in the wrong place on the body - I only noticed once I added transfers, and had to do a rather nerve-wracking fix. Grills to left of totem too far from side doors & too close to main square grill - Grills removed - ... and refitted in correct location, allowing more room for the BR totem. The etched squares in the body behind the grills had to be filled in flush too. After all that nonsense, I'm rather looking forward to the strenuous task of Opening The Box when I get a Little Loco Co. Class 22. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daifly Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The photos. Jordan apologises for the quality in his thread! It was 2008 and a phone camera. We've come a long way since then! I have the complete original 2008 RMWeb thread with all photos included which I can send as a .pdf if anyone wants it. Send me a PM with your email address.
