RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted April 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2018 I do like the wagon still in grimy LNWR livery - I'm sure there were plenty still around in 1928!. But where's your Midland D299 in the 1918 scene - or even 1908? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2018 I do like the wagon still in grimy LNWR livery - I'm sure there were plenty still around in 1928!. But where's your Midland D299 in the 1918 scene - or even 1908? The D299 had a run out last time... The LNWR wagon was an odd one, there were quite a few photos taken on one day in (probably) 1928 and I've tried to model all the wagons in those photos (plus others) and quite a few of the photos have a pair of LMS wagons in them, one of the wagons looked odd as the lettering seemed smaller than standard and not very clear as it was filthy. Anyway I modelled it with a smaller LMS and then a while later I was in the Beck Isle museum in Pickering where they have a room dedicated to the Rosedale mines and railway and there was a photo that I'd seen in a book but a much better reproduction, probably from the original negative, with what was obviously a wagon still in LNWR livery. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Your model is coming on very well Paul, it is a real treat to see it. . When I was building NER locos back in the 1970s, I used to badger the late Ken Hoole for all kinds of information to get the details correct. I am sure he told me that an order had come from the ‘board’ that NER goods engines were to be painted black and lined out in red, from 1904. So in 1908: many of the locos would have been repainted and the ones still in green be a bit scruffy. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 3, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2018 Thought I'd put a few photos on to show how the lights are fitted. The top of the beam is a length of 4"x1" timber with the front 6" deep 4mm plywood, the ends are strengthened with 4"x1", these also help locate the beams with 6mm bolts for final location, it won't need a nut on it. The light strips are stuck to a piece of timber cut to about 60° to help spread the light to the back of the layout. The wires between the beams will of course be fitted with some kind of plug and socket. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmditch Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 PLease could I ask about the source of your lighting strips? (Sorry if I missed it earlier.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 4, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2018 PLease could I ask about the source of your lighting strips? (Sorry if I missed it earlier.) They came from Amazon, there's various different sizes, these are 3528 (8mm wide) and there's various K ratings to choose from and then there's the multi colour ones... take some time to study what's available! Different manufacturers are compatible (same factory?) but not sizes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted April 15, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2018 Not been too idle recently... I've been making some clutter/loads, some knightwing packing cases have been improved by adding ends and some of their barrels have had better hoops added. I've had a go painting and weathering some Modelscene acid jars/carboys but they are at least 3' high so they might have to be hidden behind something. Today's job was to make some slatted packing cases, bit of a fiddle but they seem to have come out ok. The Slaters potato sacks have worked very well, after a lot of filing to sit them together. (must get 'oss tied on...) 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Don't forget Paul company regs required horses to be lead by the head near a railway line not driven from the rulley. Also NER specified rulleys were driven from the ground not the cart I'm afraid. It might be worth popping some brass highlights on the tack where buckles would be, and certainly on your trace carriers, maybe pick the haims in silver as well, would you like me to bring a couple of my horses down to the club for you to get some ideas off on Wednesday? I'm going to be taken into the kitchen for a kicking now aren't I? Edited April 16, 2018 by Boris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Paul, those glass carboys were not three feet high, I am sure. The water undertaking is Scarborough , which preceded Yorkshire Water, had a stores depot in Scarboroug, and which , I visited often. We stored carboys of sodium hypochlorite solution, of 25 and 50 gallon capacity, and I recollect they were not anywhere near 3’ tall.. I could be wrong, it is over 40 years ago, and my memory does play a few unpleasant tricks.
