Nicktoix Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A few wagons of a different sort to those normally modelled A Midland boiler wagon pair. Made about 30 years ago before the advent of etching. Scratchbuilt in brass & nickel silver Similarly a Midland 40ton trolley wagon A LNWR trolley wagon D96 built from a London Road Models kit A LNWR 40t trolley wagon D97 built from my own etchings. Still waiting for transfers to complete lettering. Survived into the mid 1950's A LNWR boiler trolley D82. Again my own etchings scrapped pre 1908. The load is a GEM kit. My next challenge is a D77A bogie trolley Nick 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 31, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2011 Shortly to be seen at Warley..... wagons look good - and I seem to think you may have one or two more which are different? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D Print Tom Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Very nice. I plan to build a couple MR hollow bolster wagons with a large navy gun turned on my lathe to fit on them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktoix Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 This is the latest addition to the stable. Not quite right as it was built from a test etch. I plan to do another etch shortly to correct the errors: mainly to do with the solebars at the ends. This is a D105 boiler trolley which has an 18ft well. The LNWR also had D106 chemical pan trolley which is the same except for a 12ft 6in well. I have organised the etch so I can build either from the etch. They both survived into BR days Nick 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium macgeordie Posted July 31, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2012 Excellent work Nick, I'm well impressed. I was browsing through one of my Midland Railway Wagons book just yesterday looking for something different to build, but you seem to have done all the ones I fancied having a go at. I do like the D105 boiler trolley. Are you planning to make the etches available to other members? Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktoix Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I will be doing etches for d105 & 106 soon pm me for details Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktoix Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 A more complete answer now I have woken up properly. The D97 and D105 & 106 are all available as etches only. You will have to supply your own springs, axleboxes and buffers. The springs and axleboxes are from Wizard and the buffers from London Road. I get them etched in 15th nickel silver. I will be ordering a batch in the next week so if anyone wants one PM me. the D82 boiler trolley is a by product of another etch and I only have them occasionally Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktoix Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 This is LNWR D77A boiler trolley. The originals had "bogies" made from old McConnell tenders. They were rebuilt after WW1 with the bogies on this model. This is a test build and I know one of the buffer heads is missing. There is also an issue with the "bogie" frames. The "well" is fine. It is etched in 12thou brass and requires some nifty soldering. I will be building new trucks as demo at Leeds MRS exhibition 26/27th October Nick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
