jrg1 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I believe the three-cylinder Stanier tanks were withdrawn en mass and some, if not all were scrapped at Doncaster, apart from one preserved at Bressingham. Lovely model. Hope to see it finished with the Comet chassis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2018 Resurrecting this thread with something a bit topical what with the Heljan model now being available. It's of unknown pedigree. lt has a whitemetal boiler and firebox and the rest is built in nickel-silver. It has a Portescap fitted. Any ideas? She's a lovely looking brute! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 ^^ Could be a Kemilway one. If I understand it correctly, these were specially produced in a small batch commission and not available to the general public. If the chassis has its axles running in pivoted cradles, that is a pretty clear sign of Kemilway's involvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted July 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Here's my Midland Compound on a scratch built chassis It pulls a Millholme whitemetal tender and sports a motor out of a Lord of the Isles/Caledonian Single as the wheel arrangement is quite similar. I have a few other bodies "in Stock" that I got in a job lot. I'll strip them down one day and bung 'em on eBay ...

Pebbles Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I have a small booklet "Good "OO" Loco" By Pro, published by Hambling's 10 Cecil Court Charing Cross Road, which I believe was their original site.

Jon4470 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Do you think that this is a Jamison kit? It looks to have some “ signature” design features but I haven’t seen one of these before. I’m just curious if anyone knows if it is a kit....I like it, wherever it came from, and I aim to add a few details but not lose the original “feel” of the loco. (It’s just resting on the chassis at an angle in the photo....it fits better than it appears!) Jon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think its either scratch built or a kit bash/cut & shut 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted February 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Yes, I would say so Jon. The giveaway, If it is Jamieson /Eames the running plate support strip will be in square brass or maybe nickel-silver around 2.5mm ²? Also it looks to be built in nickel-silver, albeit tarnished over time. It's a lovely and well built model. They were sold as 'kits' but in reality they were 'aides to scratchbuilding' (!) in a time before etching they were sold as 'Handcut kits' Edited February 25, 2019 by Re6/6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same book, the original owner along with his details has added the date 12 January 1950, British Railways is credited as the photo' supplier, so published somewhere in the two year period 1948 to 1950. Anyone with magazines published in those two years should be able to pin down the date, my collection only goes back to 1950.

micknich2003 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Here's the real thing. The model is very nice, but I'm sure not a Jameison kit. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon4470 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Many thanks for the replies about the A2 ( and love the photo of the real thing). I had a look around the model tonight and the footplate cut outs look to be made by hand - there’s some curvature ( just by the first boiler band on the right) that is hopefully visible in the photo. The chassis is built in battleship fashion! The front bogie is retained centrally by a bolt and spring. It does run now, after a small amount of work - I suspect it has been unused for some time. Final photo is the tender After doing this, I remembered that I had kept an article from Model Rail February 2003 entitled “Remember Jamieson”. I dug the article out and found that there is a listing of the handcut kits produced by Eames. In the list is an NER Raven A2 produced from April 1972. Whatever its origin it will be nice to see it running - hopefully I can do it justice. Jon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thanks for the update on the Hand Cut kits. Change the front bogie and radial wheels to modern standards and you will have a nice model. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontram Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 An old thread I know but in my mission to stockpile kits/locos (All unintentional) I think I might be on to another Jamison Jumbo if it comes off that will be four Jamison Jumbos and a Jamison Drummond class 66 4-4-0 in the to do stack. Both the class 66 and one of the Jumbos has had the bodies (well) built but not the chassis which look very much of there time so a better option for the Jumbos will be required I might be able to do something with the class 66 chassis 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorrail Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hello All, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with finding any instructions for a Jamieson/Eames LNER V2 superstructure kit, (or a drawing to work too) please? I've just been given a kit that friend picked up at auction. The kit looks to be mostly complete, with the exception of the firebox wrapper which is missing! I'm keen to have a go at building the body, but could do with some dimensions or a drawing to help make the missing firebox wrapper. Any assistance on this would be gratefully received.

motorrail Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi John, Thanks for the rapid reply, a scan of the drawing will be much appreciated, to help sort out the dimensions of the firebox. This will be my first go at this sort of scratch aid kit, I'm a fairly experienced kit builder, but have not yet tried anything that requires this much scratch building of details. This might be one to document as I go, (Might not be for a while though - I'll have to clear the workbench first!). Cheers Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
