de Selby Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Would anyone have a set of instructions for the Jidenco / Falcon Brass (LK72) Highland Railway "Clan Goods" who could send me a scan or photocopy? I've acquired one which is missing the instructions and it would be useful to refer to them even though they are likely to be fairly basic! The instructions should (probably) also include a diagam of the various etches identifying the parts, and a line drawing of the locomotive, both of which would be very useful. Any assistance greatly appreciated. The example of this kit which I have seems to have had a "challenging" previous existence. There were various bits missing, although there are also duplicates of some parts. I have now either acquired or made most of the missing pieces. Should there be interest I could post some photos on the "Kitbuilding and Scratchbuilding" section once I start building it. Thanks, Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've dug it out of the stash, looked at it and been scared again! Its got the full instructions which are below. I have to say that I think you are all very much braver than me, and hopefully much more accomplished builders too! Just the chassis scares me! The shame is that I could do with this and a Falcon Clan making at some point... Anyway here they are (they also seem to be the instructions for Durn as a bonus!) Darn. Will have to do it in two bites, as the scans are too big, just one other that will need uploading in the next post. Andy G 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

de Selby Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 That's really excellent, exactly what I needed. Now I know what all those little bits are for! Thank you so much. I suppose I'll have to build it now................ Regards, Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 Could you do a step by step photo build of it please? It might give me enough tips to have a go at building mine, and the Clan too... Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy G Hi Andy, Just caught up with this thread about the 'Clan Goods' and 'Clan'. I too am looking for plans for both 'Clan Goods' and 'Clan' and also the 'River' Class - too either build from kits or attempt to scratchbuild/modify from ready to run stock. Plans for the 'Clan' would be greatly appreciated. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portchullin Tatty Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Very much one of my favourite locos; rather more handsome than the Clan strangely (although I do like the River) Mark 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuff999 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Just come across this thread gents. Really useful for anyone interested in building a 'Clan' , if you can get hold of the kit. I have visited the Falcon Brass website, and the kit - and quite a few others - are marked as not currently available. I have sent them an e-mail to ask for clarification of the kit status, assuming that Falcon still in effect own the relevant production resources, and possibly intend to re-introduce it/them. Or, is the business moribund? Anyone know? Would be good if SOMEONE would/could act on Blandford1969's suggestion! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Falcon Brass stopped producing kits a number of years ago, so in essence its a moribund site and goodness knows why it stays up. As you may know the kits were and are really hard work, although they did have some nice turnings. The Clan, and Clan Goods sounds like a challenge for Mike Edge, as an engine it could be made much easier with more fold ups like the splashers and cab for example.

chris p bacon Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I have the Clan Goods on the drawing board but needed a re-think on a couple of things so I've put it to one side while I complete another. It started as some simple additions to the Jidenco to make it easier to build, but it was frankly easier to just re-draw it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
