mike hughes Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 To continue in what’s coming a couple more pics. The first pic shows a 304/1 MBS at the top and the bottom is the 304/2. The 304/1 MBS will providing on getting drawings also be for a 302, 305 and 308. There’s half etches on the back so the windows can be opened up to make the 305/1 & 308/3 The second pic shows 304 driving cars (the other 304/2 driving car not pictured) The top one also is for 305/2 and 308 and the bottom is the same as the 504 DMBS Just need to get round to making all the bits to go with the 304’s Michael 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2020 Out of interest Mike, what are the 3 circular recesses on the lower side plank of the china clay wagon? I'm not seeing them as such in photos of the real wagons, more sort of stick on hooks?: https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brclayhood?fpciidx=60 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never noticed them before seeing the model and going and checking again. Edited September 28, 2020 by Hal Nail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike hughes Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Looks like they were a later addition as the photo of the BR one in GWR Freight wagons and loads in service shows didn't have when built. Also the little J pieces under the wagon body in front of the solebar were later addition, guessing added when fitted with tarpaulins.

Have got a couple of niggles with it so need to decide whether to alter or keep as is. It has half etch rivets/bogie centre markings for both BR and LMS style Michael I'll take one of these please in BR kit form, maybe two if you can do one with the cranes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike hughes Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I plan to update the website by 31st October (in time for the GoG virtual show) Also I’ve discovered is that I can accept card payments remotely now. It’s done by me sending a email or text (smartphones only) I can’t do that by ringing me up and quoting the card number Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike hughes Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 One thing which I've been meaning to do and finally started is to design a motor bogie. If the design works it'll fit a 8' 6", 8' 9" and 9' wb. Cant think of any other wheelbase size that are needed. Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted November 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2020 I picked up a couple of the 13t Single Bolster kits at the Reading show a year or two back - these have been built as a permanently-coupled 26t Twin Bolster pair.

mike hughes Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I've received back the revised Salmon and also the motor bogie etch and got so far with the build. I thought on the Salmon that I'd put some half etch holes on the rear of the solebar in the wrong places so drilled them out in a different position for the securing chain shackles but nope I'd had the half etch in the right place all along. At the same time also had the 305/1 driving car and the 304/1 TC (also suits 302, 305/2 and 308) etched. Prices to be advised. Unfortunately you can guess where the buffers and bogies for the Salmon, maybe a while before can obtain some more.
