RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 5, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2013 As happened the other day with the transfers, I discovered on Tuesday night that I only had couplings for four vehicles, I have seven wagons (including two gunpowder vans) and the J77, anyway three packs of DG couplings arrived from MSE today so that is looking like the job for tonight.

James Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I've also started another J77, this one is in Nickel Silver and is quite a bit bigger, it's a 7mm kit from N.E.R Days in Leeds, I built their NER 964 class saddletank a few years ago and the kits are a bit crude and not for beginners but are excellent value if you want to have a go at 7mm. The motor, gears and wheels cost more than the kit! How much is the kit Paul? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I did try, but he's not here. One of the other operators thinks he might have a current price list at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7mm Mick Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 7mm James? Will it be an S7 build or F/S? ATB Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 7mm James? Maybe Will it be an S7 build or F/S? Open minded I suppose - without wishing to take over Paul's thread or open a can of worms it seems like the choice of EM and P4; pluses and minuses for both.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 10, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just about finished, there's a couple more small jobs to do but I'm not telling what they are so you can't point them out at EM North this weekend... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 17, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2013 Injectors ?.... A shunting stick laid behind the front lamp irons? .... Funnily enough my other (LNER) J77 had a shunting stick behind the lamp irons, it's in the bottom of the box at the moment, it became unstuck and fell off last time out! What is still to do is the 'neptune fork' and the other bit on the other side tank and then some fire irons to go on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class O Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 No disrespect, Paul, but neither yours nor mine will ever look as good as this one: No reason why ,its only one of my kits that I gave to Tom. a lovely paint job though.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 15, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2013 A quick one before christmas, well it might go over but at this rate it should be quick, Dave Alexander's latest kit is for the NER class H, LNER Y7 - his usual quality castings, a nicely etched chassis and a pre rolled brass boiler. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 16, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 16, 2013 Managed to get a rolling chassis tonight (gears not fixed yet), despite destroying one of the coupling rods while opening up the crankpin holes, they are a bit fine and the broach 'bit' and twisted the end clean off. Luckily I had some Gibson rods that I could butcher to fit. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm glad it's not just me who's mangled a set of rods whilst opening them out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 16, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think the reason these went is they are designed for smaller crankpins, probably Romford type which are a lot thinner, Gibson bushes are 1.5mm and the boss on the rod is just a little over 2mm. The one visible in the photo is the surviving one from the kit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
