RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 13, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2015 A job I haven't really been looking forward to was the tender cab, it's quite a complex shape and looking at photos it seems this one is unique amongst the Rosedale locos in that it had the roof extending forward. In the end it went reasonably well if a bit fiddly. It still needs lowering a bit to bring it in line with the loco cab. When I started this loco I worked out that the main dimensions were the same as the preserved 1275 and was following the drawing for it. what I hadn't noticed was that No 1093 in 1908/9 didn't have the cowling in front of the cab so this has been removed tonight and the cab sides reshaped. Anyway, a photo with some temporary boiler fittings, I hope to get a chimney, dome and smokebox door from Dave Alexander on Sunday at the Tyneside show. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 14, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2015 Getting on well this morning, the tender cab has been tweaked a bit and fitted and the steps on one side made and fitted. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 14, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2015 Fantastic modelling there Paul but I have to say the prototype hit every branch when falling out of the ugly tree. ;-p The Bulleid Q1s aren't pretty but are at least well proportioned.

No, the Q1s took the ugly forest with them... All steps completed and frames attached.

Mrkirtley800 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Nice bit of modelling , Paul, but you can see that Johnson (engineer and artist) had nothing to do with the design. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NER 1001 class whilst not the most handsome of the NER designs can surely not be described as ugly! ... I certainly don't think the loco is ugly, form is following function very nicely. I see that the photo was taken in the original York Railway Museum; does the building still exist? I was in York last August and parked up in a car park not far from the station that was clearly made up of NER buildings dating from the mid 1800s, but I think they are later than the original Y&NMR building the museum was in.

Think the picture is taken at North Road Museum in Darlington. Not sure if the original York Museum building still stands.....more knowledgeable than me will know!

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 15, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2015 Buffer beam, coal rails and lamp brackets done. And some nice bits and pieces from Mr Alexander. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 16, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2015 A few little bits done tonight, the tender drag beam has been fitted, like the buffer beam, quite a substantial piece, it would have been an oak beam sandwiched between iron plates, mine is two pieces of 1mm brass soldered together. The handrails are also fitted, the rear corner ones were a faff, drilling on the curve of the tank was not easy even with a slight punch to start the bit. A bit of the history of this loco, from 'British Locomotive Catalogue vol. 5a' No 93 (Darlington section (S&D)) and numbered 1093 by the NER, built at North Road Works, Darlington in April 1867 and named Uranus, it had 5' driving wheels, a 14' x 4' boiler, had 17" x 24" cylinders and a wheelbase of 6' 9" + 5' 4". It weighed 33 1/2 tons. It was cut up in 1909. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 18, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2015 Right, now you two have got that out of your system... Managed to get a few little jobs done tonight, the smokebox front has been made and the hole cut in it for the door. I've also drilled the holes for the chimney, dome and safety valve cover. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 22, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2015 I've been wondering how to go about doing the tender axleboxes and springs, some castings that I had were far too big so I raided the 51L stand at Wakefield and I've used some modified NER No6 axleboxes and BR Heavy wagon springs that have had their ends trimmed and straightened (they not yet attached). 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
