RMweb Premium Jason T Posted October 2, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2014 Somewhere pages and pages back, there is a comparison of two Comet bogies I built for my Black Fives; one in OO and one in EM. You wouldn't think that 1.7mm would make such a visible difference but it does ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted October 2, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I do have a vague recollection of those. But weren't they just the bogies, or did you put comp pictures with them on the locos. I'll have a browse... but I may be some time (116 pages is a few to look through!) Nothing else to do while sat on a train on the WCML as I can't see anything out the window... it's more fun to travel when it's light" Edited October 2, 2014 by Anotheran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted October 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2014 Now I have bought two kits, it must surely be time for Bachmann to announce an A Class It is the way of the world Jason. Scratchbuilders find kits released just after the model is complete. Kitbuilders find an RTR model announced before the paint on their kit is dry! Just remind yourself the pleasure is in getting there. A kit can take some time to put together enjoy the process and it is good value. Besides I am confident your models will run well have extra little details and have that personal touch. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted October 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2014 Found it! - March 8th - page 88. You did indeed show the EM bogie alongside a Black 5 with the OO bogie... so I'd still like a future photo of side by side comparison of the completed models if you can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark axlecounter Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hi Jason hope all is well did you put that little thing on the A class. That boiler I have is for the 2-4-2 radial tank not for the saddle tank I can speak to Jhon to see if he has a spare one. The pug looks good, Hornby needs to update that little gem. Keep the pics coming Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted October 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hi Mark, Not yet, as I have been hacking it about to fit the C Class chassis into it. Was looking at the instructions for the Pug this morning and it seems that I am now reaching the complex part, the brakes. Now with most kits the brakes are easy but there is over an A4 page of instructions for these, and the font is small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted October 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2014 Tell that to Spams !! ( and keep repeating it until he believes you ! ) I'm enjoying every challenging, character-building moment Stu. Particularly enjoyable is pushing the rolling chassis and almost finished body up and down a length of PECO flexi making pushticup, pushticup, pushticup noises. I do have to keep reminding myself that it started out as a series of flat sheets and that it's me wot's made it. Joy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes Andy, I have had that when exhibiting, asking where they could get a 0-4-4 Kirtley well tank in full Midland ,livery. On another occasion I was told the cows in the cattle dock were too clean. The worst was when a friend exhibiting his '0' gauge layout was asked where the key fitter in a beautiful kit built loco.

Jaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I am a very happy bunny, have now seen Bacup AND Westerham in BRM Magazine. And as we have them electronically can find them with ease any time I like in the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Jason T Posted October 11, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2014 A few more shots. This was supposed to be a sort of 'day in the life' thing but I've ran out of time and some of the shots were blurry. Anyway, here we go. Ivatt 46406 brings in a passenger service, places the carriages in the carriage sidings and then crosses over to the goods yard and picks up a couple of grain wagons. It then heads off to the shed, depositing the wagons at the grain warehouse on the way (the private sidings of which were opposite Bacup shed) Some time later, 4F 43880 arrives with a short coal train and is seen simmering in the headshunt, next to a DMU. 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
