georgeT Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Getting on with the J94 build at last, but l am doing things a little bit different this time, l am putting the details on as l go things like lamp irons etc etc, also as the brass in on the thin side so l have added some O gauge bullhead rail underneath the footplate for extra support ...looking at hundreds of pictures on the web and it seems they were all different in many ways, so as l like small details l will try to put as many extras on my J94 as l can, right or wrong....Hahahahaha (BTW the body is only placed on for the photo...) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks Bud, Had a great day today l was not going to go to the O gauge club today as l was so hot, but l went after all and was l glad l did a member was thinning out his collection of O gauge kits so l bought a (Meteor Models) LY / LMS / BR 0-6-0 rapid shunter still taped up in the box (wheels included), l know its out of my era and location but the price was a steal, and also l bought an early Bulleid Q1 kit with a resin body and loads of cast parts will take a lot of work to get it built, but l love a challenge.... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hello Sir, The holes are rivets that have been punched out, they do look like holes l must agree, l dont know why its called a Rapid shunter, but thats what it says on the box, will have to do some digging...

georgeT Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hello Bob, We do seem to have a lot in commom both liking Bulleid w/c 34002 'Salisbury' and now Q1s, l have had an idea for ages to scratch build a Q1 and work has now started with lots of research photos and some hand drawn diagrams from fellow RMWebber Malcolm which he kindly sent a while back which were gladly accepted thanks again Malcolm, l bought a very old kit on Friday which has a resin body and lots of badly cast white metal fittings, most of them will go in my scrap box, but chimney, dome, smokebox door, axle boxes etc etc and a nice brass chassis will be used, but the cab and tender will have to be made from brass, 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted May 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2017 When I can dig it out, I'll look in my L&Y locos book and get you some BR numbers. I can't imagine they lasted too long; possibly early 50's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 From SEGM online numbers were from 33001 to 33040 inclusive. All were withdrawn between 1963 and 1965. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Morning Guys, l have searched on the web and cannot find what a RAPID SHUNTER is, but thats what it says on the box, can anyone shine a light on this subject ? some lasted until the 50s so what was their BR numbers ? The last one was 51537 withdrawn 9/61 from Bank Hall Liverpool. Several others lasted into the 50's - 51535 9/56, 51536 1/54, 51544 6/59 & 51546 1/59. Info from Barry Lane's L&YR Locomotives. I'd forgotten that Meteor used to do that kit - I presume that it later went to Fourtrack and now Lanky Kits? Looking forward to seeing the finished article. Ray.

georgeT Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Have done some more work on my J94 and decided to add some details before soldering it all together and it has been so much easier to get at, just have to be really careful, l love to add as much detail as l can with my locos the more detail the better for me even if its not quite right, l think it adds to a model.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
