georgeT Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hello Buddy, Nothing as grand as that, but the fact is that l have never really been a layout man as you know as l get bored ever so easily yes l have sold a few of the layouts l have built but so many of them have been scrapped, so l am going to make a small effort that only fits on my workbench like a small diorama and can be taken down quickly without standing along the whole wall of the room with loads of stock on just collecting dust ? we'll see..

Why wast two Vans when you can get a Kit for the SR CCT mate? Good luck with the K10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Point taken Andy, but really its only one and half kits as most of one kit has a lot of missing parts including a set of wheels so rather than waste anything l will make some sort of wagon out of them, l already have some white metal parts l can use and some brass for the chassis...will continue building the K10 soon.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 l had a few friends around yesterday afternoon first there was lan who was making a white metal water tower for his 'Shed Street' layout, and Mark who was working on his L&Y 0-6-0 Rapid shunter, and l was finishing of my six wheeled Trolley bus, l then got to grips with the K10 so the workbench was rather crowded for a few hours, l managed to cut out the cab parts and now l have to cut out the footplate to accept the motor / wheels etc etc... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Progressing with the K10 build and l have cut the footplate to accept the motor etc etc, but the splashers are really wide and seems to have a lot of room for some reason ? also searching for some pictures of the footplate, l think they must have had two large boxes on either side to hide the wheel tops on the footplate ?.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Did a bit more to the K10 but not too sure about the cab layout as its not in the drawings l have looked at some other loco like a T9 and guessing they were similar ? any help would be appreciated... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 i dont know but, does it share the boiler with any other class, so therefore would the backhead be the same as well, maybe try to look for info on them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think the M7 and K10 shared a boiler. Have you Bradley's book on Drummond lock's? Mine is at home, so I can't find out for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
