decauville1126 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Hi Mike. email on it's way to you to reserve a C14, so please don't pack one as I can't get to Scaleforum this year. You gave me the shopping list for this way back. Thanks. Edited September 22, 2023 by decauville1126 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments welcome, I already know what I think ... Very impressive. I need to get mine built at some point. It's the H0 version though, and at least Italian wasp stripes are easier to replicate than BR ones!

On30runner Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Has any thought been given to doing a kit for the EE demonstrator shunters? (Vulcan at KWVR) I think I will have to order a C14 Edited December 2, 2023 by On30runner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted December 2, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2023 I have all sorts of possibilities in mind but the EE demonstrators aren't high up the list as yet. LSW C14 is still out of stock but we are expecting etches from PPD soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Vulcan at KWVR) I'd certainly go for the EE demonstrators D0226 and/or D0227. I'd also like to see the other LMS shunters, such as 7052 and 7053. Armstrong Whitworth 7058 would be good as would the Vulcan Frichs loco. The GWR Simplex loco's would also make unusual models. I missed out on the Impetus kits that were produced years ago. Still plenty of prototypes available! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mol_PMB Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I've said before I'd have an MSC 4001/2, and that's still true. However, a Simplex would definitely appeal too. Not necessarily a GWR one, there were plenty of industrial examples such as this one that worked for the Co-Op in Salford and later Irlam: The one preserved at Shildon is very similar: I imagine it would fit an N20 micro motor which should be plenty powerful enough for such as small prototype. Weight would be the challenge and those bonnets would surely need to be cast whitemetal. That's partly what's put me off the 3-D printed ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted December 3, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2023 I haven't tracked down drawings for the other LMS Hunslets (7052 and 7053) yet but they are definitely in the list somewhere. Vulcan-Frichs would be a real oddball, even more so than the Harland & Wolff we did some years ago (and that doesn't sell very well, we still have one left from the original batch). Unless someone specifically pays me to develop one (usually by asking me to build one) I'm more likely to design what I like than anything else - some you win (e.g. NER electrics) and some you lose (e.g. Hunslet 75T 0-6-0DE) but that's how this business goes. The difficulty with the Simplex is the usual one of how to drive both axles, easy in 7mm with real chain drive but 4mm needs something clever from High Level to make it go. The Impetus kit was very good but only drive on one axle. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
