RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2014 Look you lot, I can go off people you know... Almost there, just a bit of tidying up around the dome and maybe the R/H handrail then it will be ready for some paint and then on to completing the chassis when I get a motor and gearbox. Studying the photo linked to earlier the vacuum pipe seems to be on the 'wrong' side and I discovered after I had soldered the lubricator to the footplate (between the splashers, R/H side) that it didn't have one there...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've thrown a bit of paint at the loco body tonight with an airbrush, Vallejo 'Model Air' black and it seems to have turned out ok. As this dried quickly I've also got a couple of coats of red on the buffer beam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2014 Decided to try and get this finished, I also decided to build it to EM after all. Not the easiest of tasks as there was a lot of material to remove behind the splashers, the tender frames needed moving out about 1.5mm each, but it runs now and quite nicely. With the wheels being quite old, the flanges were rather deep so these were 'turned' down by mounting a wheel on an axle and in the cordless drill then pulling the trigger with one hand and working the flange with a file with the other. I last did this type of crankpin ablut 13 years ago! Material removed to build to EM gauge. Tender frames before moving. Rods on. Body on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clowe999 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi, I have the Craftsman version of the Lanky Class 28 - everything etched including running plate and chassis. Not yet started and Im in the process of bringing all the necessary bits together. I'd be interested in the motor-gearbox setup you used. The Craftsman instructions show a plate in the chassis to mount a D11 in the traditional fashion (no gearbox/mounting plate as such) presumably driving the middle axle. Your solution looks a lot more elegant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 12, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's a High Level 60/1 Loadhauler with a Mashima 12-20 motor on the middle axle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clowe999 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 May thanks WF. In that config it should pull anything the prototype pulled and at scale speeds! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2014 WOW! That was quick... The Midland 1F has only just hit the shops and when I saw one I decided I had to have one. It has of course been turned into something different - built from a photo in 'Locomotives Illustrated 125', the Ross pop safety valves have been replaced with some open Ramsbottom ones, W/M casting of unknown origin and I've added a tarpaulin frame over the cab and bunker from brass wire, this goes nicely with the rolled up tarp that fits onto the roof.

Earlswood Nob Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Good morning all An interesting thread, as I had never heard of WESTWARD kits. I'm a LNER fan (NER GNR GCR), but have a soft spot for the L&Y 0-8-0s. They go well with the NER 0-8-0s, basic, brutish, and black. Railways were developed to move coal, and the 0-8-0s typify coal haulers. Earlswood Nob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkC Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 In the interests of balance, I'm a Midland man, but have been moving towards the NE region (NER, LNER, BR (NE Region) as a complimentary side of my modelling interests. Why not? The Midland and the NER weren't competitors, and have a connection through Smith and his compounding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNWR18901910 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Nice, very nice! That L&YR Class 28 (the basis for James the Red Engine) is spot-on. I wonder if Sparkshot's model would be good in comparison to it (unless you extend the running board and added a pony truck at the front). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most were done conventionally even though he at some CAD machines. I do not know how it is now but then it was cheaper to it the old fashioned way rather than programing the machine. There is also a lot of hand work polishing etc so you get the right finish. One of his jobs was for a milk bottle screw lid. He perminantly had an order for one, they seemed to need replacing yearly. The cost in the eighties was equivilant to best part of six months of my salary. Some large companys sent their moulding tools around the world to the different factories as it was cheaper than having more than one set. Sorry I've just been reading through this thread and came across this answer to my post. Back in the early 70s I worked for a firm who did the design work for Revell plastic model aeroplane kits, my role was that of draughtsman. In those days producing these kits was a very expensive business, requiring a very large profitable market (basically a world wide market) to recoup the expense. That expense has been very much reduced by CAD/CAM techniques which has been a major reason why British outline plastic RTR models are, and have been for a while now, profitable.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2019 Realised as this thread has reappeared that there's no finished photos of the L&Y 28, I don't have a layout to run it on but it does get used on a friends ex L&Y layout. Anyway, here it is posed up on the Rosedale branch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
