RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted November 9, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2011 Seconded, fantastic collection, am now wandering about muttering 'overall impression' and 'representational' in order to counteract the detail overload!!! .

Jon020 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Brave move Sean.... hope the results are worth the effort - expect they will be. Which 55 bits did you stock up with - all of them? Hope Brian was suitably impressed! Must finish mine - and move on! A 47 awaits... and my 37 is already re-wheeled (getting ahead of myself there I think) Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted November 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi Sean & Jon, yes brave move indeed Sean, I was aware of the slight nose/sand filler descrepency on the new 37, however it's not as noticable on the GSYP version so didn't worry sbout it . Nice work on 55020 Jon, the weathering sets it off a treat. No work done on my 37, been collecting some last minute detailing bits together (oh and playing with a couple of new toys I acquired ). Got the brake levers & chain to fit them with, when I work out how ?? Will post progress on my thread when I get round to it! As Jon said, Sean, hope the extra work pays off, and am sure it will. Looking forward to seeing the end results. Cheers Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted November 25, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hi Sean et al, you've got a lot on at mo Sean!! Quote: 'The other one will be KOYLI. Well, I'm a Yorkshire lad after all.....' Once upon a time I detailed a Lima Deltic as KOYLI for the same reason, when it went to meet its maker I stripped the plates off but you can't see them very well hung on my wall!!! . Keep up the good work. Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 .....You'll see that the Craftsman overlays are too short as they were designed for the Lima Deltic. I have seen a conversion which has split the sides into four and filled in.... I initially thought you could split the overlay in the middle, and your infill would then be a vertical section measuring 2 to 3mm wide.....but then I realised that the error is not constant across the right-hand half of the overlay!

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted January 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Sean I'm interested in your 40 as I'm detailing a few Lima bodies as well at the moment. What do you intend to use as a power unit? I've used an adapted Bachmann chassis, a couple of Limbys and I'm going to double motor a Lima chassis. The Limby chassis has poor pulling power, and needs ballast, not really what i expected. By far the best is the Bachmann chassis but they are quite hard to come by. Over on the Kier Hardy site they've used double-motored Lima 37s and 40s so if it's good enough for those exhibition standard layouts it's good enough for me.

James Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The biggest challenge was scratch building the tanks, (water tanks for the steam heating?), but I drew a template and worked to this each time. I've bought them as spares from Bachmann in the past to fit to Lima locos! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
