Today i have made a start on the Langley L&B 2-4-2 loco LYN

I clean up the molding marks with a file then the castings got a Burnish with a Suede brush ( the type you use on Suede shoes which i picked up Cheep on Ebay)

1st off i solded the footplate/ Cylinders casting to the tank/ boiler casting using a 25 wot iron & 70 degree solder

Today i have finish soldering the last parts to the body & started the chassie with the chassie I have got as far as i can till i put it all together after the body is painted again its all drying after a good wash

the lamp casting has a white metel pin cast which will just snap so i have replaced this with 0.7 brass wire & once i have added cail into the bunker i will drill a hole so it can be used at both ends of the Loco

Thanks Simon

But as building models is my Job thinks like soldering comes with out thinking also the little diesels only had 7 to 12 parts so dos not take that long

 

the litte locos are still for sale

[mozzer models]

the loco & wagon are now finished & ready to be shipped off to Taz

at times the 7mm J37 is making me want to bang my head against a wall so i will be taking time out to build some 4mm Ffestiniog railway Disc signals the kits are by Chris Veitch

[mozzer models]

not been feeling good today so nothing done

 

 

but heres what you get with the kit

 

The Box

001 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

& what you get in the box there is also a good set of instructions

002 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

having read the instructions it looks like a well thorght out kit

[mozzer models]

on with the signal today & here is a update as i have a brake with a cup of Coffee

 

1st job is to make a Jig with 2 holes it it one the size of the signal post & the other the size of the bottem of the cast base

Once i had done that i solded the casting to the etch base

001 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

then folded uo the deck & steps

002 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

Having folded up the etch that holds the bracing i then solded the bracing to the deck & signal post I also solded the post to the cast base

003 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

Then i removed the etching that was not needed on the bracing

004 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

& here is a photo showing were i am up to so far the turned barring attached to the top of the signal post & post shorted

005 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

 

once i have finished the coffee its on with the railing & disc

[mozzer models]

well it tock longer to do the rest of the kit then the 1st part as the railings can take time

so next was the disc & lamp attached to the rod as well as a collar to hold it at the right hight

006 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

then it was on to making up the railings

007 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

008 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

& here it is ready for painting

001 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

002 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

003 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

here are some photos

003 by Mozzer models, on Flickr

 

I was thinking of finishing the loco in WW1 gray livery but looking at the red wheels i may have to paint the loco black

[mozzer models]

I have painted the red wheels with Humbrol Acrylic No27 as well as the loco body I have also painted the smokebox with Citadel paints Abaddon Black & picked out some detail

 

I still need to refit the back coupling

Looking at photo the loco has the wrong chimney for a trench engine but as this is run on my L&B layout then the loco has had a new one fitted here in the UK
