Chris Nevard Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You've done a cracking job here - this could be a forthcoming project at Nevatrd Towers, and as you say all the better because you don't need to hack too much off. And for us UK modellers Turin 60's idea of dumb buffer is a good one! I'm sure I'v seen a shot of an industrial loco in Burton on Trent with a similar rear-open cab.

S.A.C Martin Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 On the other hand, the wheelbase isn't far off for a Mardy Monster...or a whole host of Manning Wardle tanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Where did you get, or who's the supplier, for the jack you have mounted on the running plate, please. Agree the lack of intricate detail makes it easier to add details, loco's looking good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim@dy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Has this loco been reviewed in the model press?I would like to know what what type of motor is fitted,3 or 5 pole,and is the motor fitted with a flywheel? Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilwell Park Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi. Not sure about the body but the chassis looks very interesting. Could somebody possibly quote wheel diameter and wheel base, in mm, to avoid confusion between H0 & 00. Thanks Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boscarne Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 If you can overlook the lack of outside cylinders and the longer side tanks, I think this model bears a passing resemblance to the Kitson loco at Coppice Colliery, 'West Midlands Area No2' of 1921. Photo here; http://chasewaterstuff.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/ Just a possibility? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could somebody possibly quote wheel diameter and wheel base, in mm, to avoid confusion between H0 & 00. Thanks Roger It's sold as an H0 model, and the buffers are at 12.5 mm height, The wheels are 14 mm diameter and the wheel base is 20 + 24 mm, other useful dimensions are 29mm to top of tanks and the foot plate is 32 mm wide and 84 long. The motor and gears fit neatly inside the tanks, the cab is clear of mechanism. A petite ready to run 0-6-0, but bigger than the Hornby small Pug, a good candidate for converting to an industrial shunter. Happy converting.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2011 For some reason we have two parallel threads. I did suggest a few days ago that they be amalgamated, but evidently that was not thought necessary. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/47849-new-industrial-0-6-0t/page__hl__ontracks__fromsearch__1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxinghobby Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Some more fuel for the argument or some help in assesing the size of the Jouef loco. Here it is compared to a GWR Toad which is quite a tall vehicle and a Hornby saddle tank which is of course too long in the footplate, wheelbase and saddle tank. Do we know what the prototype of the 0-6-0 is yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0rris Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 How well does it run? Even if it was for a "that'll do" roughly similar chassis arrangement ir does look like it could be useful for bashing into one of many 0-6-0 outside cylinder industrial tank engines.

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted December 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2011 Do we know what the prototype of the 0-6-0 is yet? Latest issue of Model Rail magazine describes it as a Maquinista Terrestre y Maritima built in 1887 for Sarria-Barcelona Railway. One was in use until 1972 and two of the original three have survived. Mike EDIT Andy May has posted similar information in the other topic with links to photos of the protoptype. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/47849-new-industrial-0-6-0t/page__pid__549077__st__25&do=findComment&comment=549077 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxinghobby Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 More pictures of the Jouef tank on the layout to see how it looks compared to other small loco models. The 0-4-0 tank is a cut down Airfix/Dapol kit plonked onto a Tenshodo Spud motor bogie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Ideally need to remove the sandbox from on top of the boiler to have it look a bit more British. I don't think overboiler sand boxes ever caught on with anything in the UK? It could be something else mind but im pretty sure its sand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill8F Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've taken delivery of one, and I have to say I am impressed. One thing to note is that for the money it's great value, despite being HO. Currently working upon altering one to a British outline*, and if that works I'll get some more of them. Despite being HO, the width of the model is good enough for OO. http://8fworks.blogs...ank-engine.html Jack * - New cab, chimney, buffers and various other fittings. Edit: It's also interesting to note that when removing the chassis, the body is stamped "Electrotren", which is another of Hornby's international brands.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 1, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2012 I didn't know the Church of England ran railways Maybe not, but when the railways were built, many a village got the railway builders to take on responsibility in perpetuity for maintaining the church roof in return for agreeing to the alignment they sought. Village duckponds were also a common feature of early agreements. I'm not sure how many are now with BR Residual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
