I was wondering about butchering some Gibson wheels and sleeving some suitable diameter rod for the stub axles, I’ll have a more thorough plan when I get chance to dismantle it.

Comparing to the new Bachmann lined LNER example, I think the lining is correct? Would a safety valve cover, larger makers plate, J72 removed from bufferbeams and NER on the tank cover a conversion back to the livery you have here?

That one is a much butchered Mainline body on a Comet chassis to represent the earlier short bunker version. This one is the Bachmann LNER Lined one regauged, new buffers and a bit of lining on the side of the bunker, it's the later large bunker one. Plus narrow planet plates. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrkirtley800 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Very nicely done Paul, running really well. Perhaps you would like to bring it down to Kirkby Malham for a running session. You would have to bribe the directors, to allow you to put your engine on their lines though.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted October 30, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2022 The yard appears to have gained a new resident, a grey tabby cat. Spotted a very similar grey tabby In the garden yesterday afternoon, never seen it before, don't think it belongs to anyone round here, anyway, I found a little whitemetal cat and painted it up and it's made it's self comfortable on top of an empty beer barrel... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted October 30, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2022 Looking at the cat on the computer screen rather than the phone she looks a bit 2d, even as though I've printed her out on paper! So I've curled her tail around a bit. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it, yes! 6 minutes ago, Compound2632 said: Why is it brown? It's Indian red, as were all NER vehicles fitted with automatic brakes, apart from refrigerated vans which were white. Brake vans were also Indian red despite not being fitted. Only thing is, it appears to have lost it's pipes when I repainted it a couple of years ago and I never noticed they had gone! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a diagram V1/3, they all started out looking like this- Some received side cotes (duckets) like this- And some hade their top cotes removed like the one above, aome had top cotes removed but without side ones adding, just relying on the end windows to view along the train. 6 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for the info, it's odd how that type of guard's lookout became almost universal in the US and Canada, but defines a few certain railways or certain periods in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
