dibber25 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hi, Any news on the matching bogie coach? Cheers. The bogie coach was dropped from the plans a long way back as it is not viable. I have obtained one of the 3D printed coach bodies but there is a lot of work to do to provide running gear for a working model. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9402 Fredrick Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hopefully they can get 68219 (MR-201) flipped right way roubd as the sample still has it flipped incorrectly with chimney facing away from the cylinders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to leave something for modellers to do! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I was only interested in the carriage if it had a bar and a model of a drunk Stanley Holloway clutching a bottle. In other words I would possibly buy a Titfield version, but the W&U version doesn't really appeal. Especially since I would be expecting a similar price to the Dynamometer Car for a RTR version.

Yes, it has taken its place in my enormous list of projects to be done. It will probably run on some freight bogies. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I used Rivarossi USA coach bogies on my HO version, and recommend OOmodellers look at other USA HO bogies as wheels are small. Look forward to seeing finished model. Are you planning to replce balcony iron ork, as it was not possible to replicate that fully with 3D printing(but might see if if could be done in finer plastic asa separate item, based on the O scale version I have done).

No, I am planning to build it as it is. I have a D&S one with all the fine verandah detail, which I recently wrecked by the mere accident of getting it caught in a pulled thread on my sweater. I have Ratio diamond frame bogies to use under the 3D printed model, but if I'm not happy with them, I may well use HO trucks. Come to think of it, a gratis set of Rapido trucks came my way just recently. Maybe I'll try them....(CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Chris, you might find the HO ones are better, as the coach body is very low. Just been looking at my design again with respect to the ironwork ends and had not realised how high up the buffers were in relation to the coach body.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2018 How about this one? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 How about this one? I have one of those - bought to see if it might be suitable. However, it's a bit large and chunky for use with a scale model. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted December 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2018 How about this one? Am I not correct in thinking that the body of one of W&U tramway coaches is at the North Norfolk Railway mounted on a flat wagon chassis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body of bogie tramcar No. 7 has been beautifully restored and is at the North Norfolk Railway. I think its a full replica chassis but it may use recovered wagon parts.

dibber25 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I will have the livery samples of the 'J70s' plus an example with the extra details fitted for you to see at close quarters, at the British Festival of Railway Modelling at Peterborough Showground this weekend (8/9 December). These were East Anglian engines, operating out of Wisbech, March, Ipswich etc. Pre-orders are still being taken and the models are expected to arrive in early in 2019. I'll also have USA 0-6-0Ts and Sentinels for sale as well as sound-fitted Class 66s etc. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I have somewhere that doesn't look like the Wisbech & Upwell to run them when they arrive..............(still a work in progress) Will be nice to retire my 45 year old K's kit of a J70 ! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Marsbar Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Nice buildings, recognised them immediately, I cycle past the remains of those on my way to work. Martin Due to space constraints, Burtons went for "a Burton" and the Cranfields single story building on the west side of Foundry Lane was cut down to half size to make it all fit ! Some of the dimensions of the others were reduced as well, but I think it looks like what it is supposed to represent, and I'm slowly adding appropriate road vehicles from the Pauls, Cranfields and Ipswich Dock Commission fleets to the scene as well.

dibber25 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Is this the same location? I don't have a caption, a loco number (682??) or a photographer's name, unfortunately. Note the home-made door on the cab! (CJL) 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the home-made door on the cab! (CJL) Yes, thats just outside the brick Pauls building. You can just make out the start of the conveyor that crossed the quayside to the right of the sign on the scaffolding. This one, which could well be an H.N.James photograph, shows one of the Hunslet 0-4-0 replacements for the tram engines in the same general area. The flagman is for crossing Bridge Street in order to get onto the quayside. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ha, I was looking at that photo earlier and even linked to it in another thread. I would love a model of one of those. I know there was only three, but.... A decent kit would do. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason I scratchbuilt an OO version on a Model Power chassis, only for Silver Fox to promptly bring out a resin body moulding for one about 6 months later!

(they did a J70 as well at the same time) Yes. I remember Chris building those in Model Rail. Unfortunately I didn't buy one at the time as I'm not a big fan of resin after being put off by a couple of very poor resin models previously. Now that I might be interested in one they don't make the diesel anymore. I wonder whether Mike Edge has plans for one as Judith Edge have some lovely little shunters in the range.
