woodenhead Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Quite and eclectic mix there - I can see a 74 and a couple of AL locomotives that I am guessing are not AL5s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted May 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2018 Quite and eclectic mix there - I can see a 74 and a couple of AL locomotives that I am guessing are not AL5s Well spotted. The 74 is an MTK white metal kit and the AL1s are Trix - all converted to DCC. Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted July 28, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2023 Over time the axle boxes on these wagons have spread apart resulting in the wheels falling out. To fix this I inserted plasticard horseshoe shims between the bearing flanges and the axle boxes. Now all running freely again 😃 Cheers Darius 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted August 1, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2023 Some more MIR cement pallet wagons on the bench - the earlier versions. Cheers Darius 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted August 2, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2023 Wagon assembly completed and ready for priming. The door chains will be added after priming so no as not to clog up the chain links with repeated spray paint coats. Cheers Darius 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used self adhesive tyre weights attached to the underside of the “roofs”. Cheers Darius 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted August 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2023 These look very good and should encourage IRM to get RTR project moving! The work on the end pallet clamping system and brake gear is a good modification as the castings are very fine, but weak. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
