RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted September 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2023 I decided to modify the spare Bachmann Class 08 body from my D3/12 Shunter Project to represent what followed - a Class 12 Shunter. A spare Bachmann Class 08 chassis is on it’s way from eBay. Cheers Darius 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2023 Hi Darius, Are you planning to represent the Bulleid-Firth-Brown 4'6" wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted September 12, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Hi Graham, I know the Bachmann model has the smaller diameter spoked wheels but they are not that visible (as are the ones on the D3/12 Shunter) so I’m going to cheat and leave the Bachmann wheels in place. Out of interest are the correct diameter BFB wheels available in model form? Cheers Darius Edited September 12, 2023 by Darius43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted September 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2023 I don't believe they are, someone might have done some etched overlays in the past, but I can't remember who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterem Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Judith Edge can send you some overlays in the correct size if you ask them nicely - taken from their Bullied shunter kit I believe. Have a similar project in the pipeline as soon as I can source a round tuit... Peter, Sidcup 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted September 13, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2023 Chassis arrived today and has been cleaned up and the buffer beams painted red. Etched ladders fitted and a coat of Halfords satin black applied to the cab and body. Cheers Darius 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted September 14, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2023 Finished - bar some light weathering. Cheers Darius 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the same as 11001? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Edge's kit has overlays, but, I think they are made to suit Gibson wheels rather than the prototype. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
