Burrell4040's Road Steam Modelling Projects


Recommended Posts

Evening all, 

 

I've been toying with updating here for some time now, the plan being to continue with a "build thread" style of thing.... However none of my photos appear to be working anymore so I can't remember at what stage my last update was! 

 

As a result of this I have decided to jump to the present day and the current state of 'Premier', the 1:12 scale Burrell which has been the main highlight of this thread. So far all of the spring gear, gearing, gear change, motion work, brakes, reversing gear, etc etc etc all works as per the full size original (obviously without steam, being made from plastic!) I hope that the below photos are of some interest to some of you. There is a lot of work left to do including completing the dynamo and canopy, amongst a seemingly never-ending list of smaller detail jobs requiring my attention! Hoping to finish it some time this year entirely dependant on what time I am left after work, rallying the roller and other projects! I have hidden an electric motor within the dynamo (not pictured at present)  to hopefully drive it all for display purposes and what I have made of the canopy so far has electric lighting per original. I am hoping it will look rather nice lit up and running when finished!

 

Best wishes to you all and as always thank you for the likes, etc and kind comments. I hope the photos are of some interest. More to come but with my track record for posting, who knows when it'll be! One of these days will see it finished.

 

I'll let the photos do the talking.

 

Cheers, Josh
