sem34090 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Goodness... Some trading with Mr L49 of this parish has resulted in the following acquisitions: - A 3-Car set of C69 Underground Stock - A 3-Car set of 1923 Metropolitan Railway Stock. - Bodies for a 3-Car set of A60 Underground Stock. - A finished GWR 9700 Pannier body (3D Printed) - A Metropolitan Railway A Class 4-4-0T (3D Printed) - An ex-MR Johnson 0-6-0T body (3D Printed) - An LNER F4 Body (3D Printed, but overscale so I'll use it for an O-16.5 project) - An SR Lined Black Hornby E2 Much of this is out of my modelling period, but it's also nice to have and I'm very grateful for it! I've long been a fan of most things LT and have always quite liked the look of the 9700 panniers... Might need to put that one into GWR Green though - does anyone know if they were built early enough to have a shirtbutton? I'm pretty sure they weren't old enough to have 'GREAT WESTERN' lettering though. Edit - I stand corrected: Edited May 7, 2019 by sem34090 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBSCR J 4-6-2. Golden Arrow. Golden Arrow Productions sell a resin body for old Hornby B12 Chassis, yet to be purchased. *snip* LBSCR I3 4-4-2T. S.E. Finecast? Or 3D printed Depends on how much quicker than us you are, but a good friend of mine has very nearly finished his CAD for the LBSC J, the B4x is next, followed by the I3 (which i would suggest to go with the finecast chassis, and a 3D body if possible). I have the 3D printed K on my desk at the moment to finish for him! A very exciting list though!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 May I ask who this might be? I'd be very interested in CAD, or means to buy prints, for any of those locos! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S-C Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I am also always on the lookout for unusual 3D prints which may or may not be public. Always of course happy to pay the going rate. The Metropolitan Railway A Class 4-4-0T print sounds very interesting. Can you post a pic please, Sem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 I can, later, but I can also say that the A Class is available from CDC Designs on Shapeways - I will post a link later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm afraid the CAD has recommenced with various horrific, or maybe interesting, little machines emerging on the screen... A decidedly freelance Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST for 009. Although there is a chassis there it is also designed to fit the Kato 103 chassis. A friend inspired this - A 2ft Gauge SR Electric Unit, this being Bulleid's 4-BUB (Baby SUB)... An adapted ex-District Beyer Peacock 4-4-0T for my fictional District & South Western Junction Railway scheme. It's supposed to resemble an ex-District machine that's been reboilered with an Adams boiler and with a cab adapted from the original District weatherboard. What I am actually supposed to be doing - A CAD model of the goods store on the up platform at Medstead & Four Marks, showing potential locations for a project of mine. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Annie Posted May 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 8, 2019 I do like that adapted ex-District Beyer Peacock 4-4-0T you've devised Sem. Looks to be a very plausible engine indeed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboSnail Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Looking very good! If I may be slightly critical, the tank on the Manning Wardle looks a little high - is that to cover the motor? If you haven't already you may want to model the motor and wheels in place - there are plenty of times that I've measured something to fit, then it turns out it didn't fit the print... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 The height is because I can't remember the height of the chassis, so I've made it large enough that it definitely ought to fit... I was mostly playing rather than doing anything serious - I will remodel it properly at some point. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 I've done a little titivation on my C69 stock set - Destinations and a little interior detailing, also reattaching the bogies. Need to sort some inter-car couplings out. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I think I'm gradually getting better at this lining lark... In other news, I've had some dangerous ideas... I know the terrier chassis has been used like this before, but I'm just playing around with different ideas. Your thoughts please, everyone!

RedGemAlchemist Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Definitely some good ideas. Put the Nellie as a 2-4-0T. You don't see many turned into those. Also you really need to strip the paint on that saddle tank mate. Looks like someone failed at making black pudding and tried using the mix as paint instead.

sem34090 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'm torn between the different 4-coupled arrangements, and don't worry, that body won't be used. Speaking of terrible paint jobs...

Speaking of terrible paint jobs... See, that's actually a really nice 0-8-0T. The paint job is the only major issue. A repaint, some couplings, maybe refit the dome and cab roof as they seem slightly raised, and that'd be lovely. 15 minutes ago, sem34090 said: Also, I thought it was about time I put up some photos of my recent acquisitions - What is that second tank engine?

A repaint, some couplings, maybe refit the dome as it seems slightly raised, and that'd be lovely. Yeah - I didn't do a good job on that loco, but I did try to sort the dome out. I expect I will replace it - It's the 0-8-0T from earlier in this thread, and I do like it which is why I made it! Just now, RedGemAlchemist said: What is that second tank engine? Don't recognise it. It's a Metropolitan Railway A Class 4-4-0T, a fairly standard Beyer Peacock product. Just now, RedGemAlchemist said: Also a Jinty This is the slightly more interesting 2F version, with condensing gear for London tunnel working and extra lamp irons for LBSCR through workings. Just now, RedGemAlchemist said: and an E2 are good acquisitions to get. Like the Pannier as well. The E2 was stupidly shiny, so I've turned it down, and although the Pannier is too modern for my general modelling period it ought to fit with my 'London-Area' stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I like fictional engines but as long as they could work in the real world and I fear that the Manning Wardle would be very unstable on such a narrow gauge with the tank being so high and wide.

I agree! It was just a bit of boredom... 50 minutes ago, Ruston said: What are the chassis that are shown with the Nellie bodies? Two of my Hornby (Old) Terrier chassis - One of them was converted to 4-Coupled format when I was contemplating modelling No.81 Beulah in 2-4-0 format, but with the release of new Terrier models this has been abandoned. 8 minutes ago, Corbs said: Sem - the reboilered ex-Met tank is a great idea!
