Porcy Mane Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oi Mr Gummage, using castings is hardly scratch building, I hope your head is hanging in shame. Disgusted of Apple Magners. ...and his rivets don't match. When it comes to rivets, forget the rest,buy the best. P 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The castings look just fine too me. But then they would be the least of my problems if I attempted to reproduce that tender! Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2015 Don't start that one again, my thread started the last war. Perhaps you need to propose something uncontroversial such as using EM wheels on P4 track. You'll get away with that one, no problem... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted November 24, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2015 A few little jobs done, firstly the tender axleboxes, tank filler and toolboxes fitted. Loco - tender coupling done, 10ba nuts soldered on under the footplates. The boiler needs to be separate so it can be slid forward so I don't have too big a slot in the underside, the front chassis fixing screw passes through the smokebox saddle to a nut inside, at the other end there's a 8ba screw soldered through the cab front and a hole in the firebox. And to finish tonight, a pretty shot! 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Strange looking beasty, but rather nice. Great work on the build. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 Fantastic work, it's an oddly proportioned loco, but you've captured the look perfectly. Really neat and tidy work (as always); thanks for taking the time to document the build step by step - inspirational modelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 25, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2015 It looks oddly proportioned but technically quite well balanced with the heavy cylinder block overhanging at the front balanced by the firebox at the back, the rear footplate and cab, as far as weight was concerned was nothing, just somewhere to stand the crew. They were quite powerful locos for the time and obviously successful, the first was introduced in 1852 and the last withdrawn in 1923. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 25, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2015 Must have waddled somewhat with that very short driven wheelbase. I've recently read about a '93' class (NER outside framed goods similar to a 1001) in the 1860s pulling a passenger train at 30mph, it 'Jumped in the air and fell on it's side' between Stokesley and Picton. It was apparently deputising for the regular passenger loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you having lots of wheels doesn't always help - I managed to put one of Mark's big 45s on its side at the last BCB show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Very nice loco, Paul. Was very impressed with it at the club. Now about the colour to paint it!!! OK I'll get me coat. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 25, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2015 Made a start on the crankpin/oilbox splashers tonight and got the first side on, they still need a bit of tidying up yet. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class O Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 My Grandad told me about an outside framed goods engine working an excursion once and the cranks knocked off a lot of the coping stones on the platform, I thik it was on the Seamer line. The track had been relaid and no outside cranked locos had been there for a while..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 28, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2015 The other side crankpin splashers are now on and tonight I've fitted the main boiler handrails, the small crank on the right hand side of the smokebox is, I think, the sander operating rod, the operating rod runs 'through' the handrail and is a piece of .25mm wire that is soldered into the first stanchion, it will go behind the sandbox when this is added. The smokebox front rail starts in the next stanchion and will curve around the top of the smokebox front 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2015 Got the smokebox front and the tricky front handrail, front sandboxes and lamp brackets on. And the tender axlebox tiebars. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2015 Cab handrails fitted this morning, this included the beading round the cab roof. Initially I thought this loco had a vertical rail on the cab side but closer inspection of the photo shows it to be a rope holding a tarpaulin on. Like this rather than like this. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2015 I really don't know what it is about this loco build, all is going very well but I've broken 4 drill bits of various sizes and stabbed my left forefinger 3 times (not with the broken drill bits though)!

Mrkirtley800 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Welcome to my world, Paul. When I stab myself, which is frequent - ask Olga, I wrap a strip of paper towel around the offending finger and secure with a rubber band. Allows me to continue and probably stab another finger.

RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted November 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2015 The traditional builders plaster is similar to the rest of us,, a sticky fabric plaster wrapped round the injured finger but then then several wraps of tight insulation tape.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted November 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2015 Completely failed to injure myself today. BUT, I've almost run out of brass bits to solder on! the only bits to do now is the fall plate between loco and tender, the cylinder cover below the smokebox will probably be made from plastic and there are a few other small details like the sandbox filler caps and sandpipes then it's castings glued on and perhaps some paint. The firebox and ashpan between the frames fills a large gap. The proud crew in the typical pose of the period - standing in front of the detail you need to see. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrkirtley800 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Really nice loco you've got there, Paul. A very nice build. Is it likely to be leaving Leyburn Junction for Grassington and Kirkby Malham any time soon. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
