This is a big chap to say the least and it runs very well indeed..

 

Its about bl00dy time I bought something that ran properly.......ahem. 

 

Only concern is that if I'm not paying attention and it runs away, whatever it hits will be demolished.......

Oh.

 

Oh I say!

I think the RTP stuff wil be fine - don't be tempted by finescale laser cut stuff.....or etched brass....

Did you place a model bus too close to that?

At least my guess was right, but you appear to have bought the Pannier equivalent of a Chieftain tank.

 

Nice. I had an old whitemetal one, my first kit built ( not by me.) locomotive. An impressive beastie.

It is indeed an impressive model and a very good example of how to produce a modern model of a pannier. If you want to take the top off this one, to get to the motor or another part of the chassis, you just undo the screws and it all comes off. You don't need advanced qualifications in complex dismantling to achieve this, unlike a certain contemporary model pannier.

 

Rob, do bear in mind that this one has a coreless motor, so feedback controllers are not advised!

You can never put a model bus too close to anything.....especially a parapet....

Klaus is congratulated on his pin point accuracy on his return to France.

Didn't Bulgy the bus end up as a henhouse after that episode? 

Another one for the Shed Thread!

Nothing to worry about normally  not unless the Beastly Well Tanks are about....

 

 

To be fair, I wouldn't fancy their chances with the 94xx. I think he'd do 'em...........

Morning all. 

 

9635 is on an extended jog around the The Improvised Table Top Improving Engine System or T.I.T.T.I.E.S  for short. 

 

9487 is standing by for his turn. I also have a W4 Peckett to dismantle and another to give a run to. 

 

Could be a busy day................

As an aside, the three panniers were all at one time Welsh engines. 

 

7717 was a Cardiff loco. Its not correct as I think if I recall CK correctly, it should have riveted tanks but happy for some confirmation. By virtue of the number and an acknowledgement to BGman, I'm happy to leave as is. 

 

Both 9635 and 9487 were Swansea locos and display the relevant shed codes but 9487 later moved to Newton Abbot. 

 

Not sure on 9635's movements and if it ever escaped from Swansea. (My apologies to Keef). Again happy for any clarity on this. 

 

At this rate, perhaps I shoud start seeking out copies of Irwells Pannier papers of which certain ones are a bit scarce I believe. 

 

Rob.
