Joseph the L&YR lover Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I have been planing this Class 28 project for over a year. My intention is to build a fictional class 28 mogul that was designed but never made. I am using this 3D printed model by @Knuckles and modifying a E4 chassis to drive the model after my original intention of using a tender driven 4F went wrong. I haven't finished it nor am really close to finishing right now but i wanted to start a thread for it to show my progress and maybe get advice on some things about it.

Joseph the L&YR lover Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I going to primer it and a Hornby 0-4-0 so expect better pictures of the model. Joseph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 The Hornby 0-4-0 didn't turn out that well but the class 28 doesn't look that bad. Probably will sand it a bit and repaint tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNWR18901910 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hey, that's a good model! What about using a Midland 3F 0-6-0 chassis with single pony truck added at the front? That's what I did when improving my Hornby RWS James model. If you like, I can share a pic or two with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 You possibly could do that but I'm not sure what you would need to do to make it fit. I wouldn't mind other's showing off their splendid engines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind other's showing off their splendid engines. Here are the improvements made to the Hornby James model with the modified Bachmann Midland 3F chassis. There is still a bit more work needed, but for the time being, it runs reasonably well and smoother, too. Notice the details and revisions made to the model such as handrails, whistle mounted on cab and cab interior (not shown). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Sanded and painted it again and got the E4 I'm going to use for the chassis. Just need to gut the boiler like a pumpkin and file down the motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 School has put this project on hold for a bit but I will update this once I have time to work on it and get a nice drill set to open the boiler and clear space on the chassis. In the meantime I'm planing on how I shall build the L&YR Atlantic. It will most likely involve me making my own chassis and general shape of the loco unless I'm able to find the millholme kit on ebay for international shipping, someone announces a rtr model, or if a 3d printable version of it becomes available.

LNWR18901910 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Perhaps scratchbuilding's an option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 probably going to be the only option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNWR18901910 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yes, thought so. How is your Mogul going? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph the L&YR lover Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've given it a 3rd coat and picked out some details on the model. I attempted painting the cab but it didn't go that well so I'll probably repaint the cab. Need to touch up a few spots where the gold got on the black but I don't think it looks too bad now. I'll need to get a few tools to attach the chassis and get the tender and wheels before this project is close to done. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 The 0-4-0 I mentioned before has been cleaned up and finally repainted. Needs another coat and then some black coats on the roof and smokebox. He looks pretty neat right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Haven't worked on the class 28 recently but I did get a whistle for it and some other things I will show in a little while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a BR lined black one and that was a perfect choice for an LNWR version which I did as a renumbering test. And yes, I hope your model of the Class 28 Mogul will soon be finished.

Joseph the L&YR lover Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm still working on the class 28 and it seems like the work will be slowing down for this semester of college. I'll update you guys and not guys as soon as I get the shell on the chassis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph the L&YR lover Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) So I've got good news and bad news. Good news is I have gotten the class 28 shell to fit on the E4 chassis. Bad news is that I accidentally blew out the motor in an attempt at testing it. So I am going to order a replacement from Bachmann and hopefully I will get this project rolling along.

Edit: pic here Well, it's good that you finally got back on track (pun somewhat intended) with this project! I'm so sorry to hear about the motor, I've had similar experience with it myself on more than on occassion. However, I hope you finally finish this model and get it up-and-running, fully-detailed and fully-lined and liveried (mind you, it does remind me of some Furness Railway rebuilt D5s). As a modeller, I am deeply fascinated by Pre-Grouping locomotives from 1870 to 1920 and this has to be one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
