jwealleans Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I believe the chap demonstrating kit building at the Newcastle show had one of these for sale as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi all, Now at £56.00 plus p&p........ How far will you go? Thanks I wouldn't have even gone that far Phil, we discussed this at the club last night and someone suggested we bid but then we started to count how many we had in our collective cupboards - we thought four would be more than enough for 'Alloa' so there may be a couple more for sale....

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted November 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Dave, That's all very good... But - I still have the chassis I bought from Eastfield the last time they appeared at Falkirk! Still not managed to get the body kit - won't at that price either...

andytrains Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Bill Bedford, now Mousa Models does an etch of component parts for the N15. It is not a complete loco kit and consists of etches for, footplate and the valances on either side, buffer beams, steps, an etch that consists of the tanks sides, cab and bunker, tank top and coal rails. I had forgotten I had got this. (Too many kits and not enough time?). So a basis to work on by using other parts, perhaps from a Hornby J83 body? or For detailing for the NB models one For the chassis NBR Developments, http://www.nbr4mm.co.uk/ are doing the old Eastfield range.

benachie Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 andytrains, Make sure the cabsides are correct - the early etches were wrong. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 It went for £105. Un-believable for a white-metal cast body kit. As for the Bill Bedford Etches, they maybe for the N14 or N15 as the locos appear to be slightly different. I will ask Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 To think I bought one out of D&F in 1996 for under £20! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 So, would a 3d print of the N15 be of any interest, I've a couple of other ex LNER types that I'm working on (ex GC and GN stuff, the main one being a Wath Daisy because I always wanted one)?

Durranhill Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Dean Sidings used to do a Resin body for the N15 , it came with most of the body fittings in white metal & a pair of Gibson wheels . It's not perfect but it may still be available , I fitted a modified Bachmann 56xx chassis under the one that I bought . Stewart . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted November 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2012 So, would a 3d print of the N15 be of any interest, I've a couple of other ex LNER types that I'm working on (ex GC and GN stuff, the main one being a Wath Daisy because I always wanted one)? Hi Mike, Probably a good possible venture. Given that the chassis is still available (as pre previous comment) (For the chassis NBR Developments, http://www.nbr4mm.co.uk/ are doing the old Eastfield range.) The Dean Sidings body is not that good (sorry) as there are compromises to enable it to fit the Bachmann 56XX chassis. Frrom memory:- Wrong wheel size Wrong wheelbase So - YES a new body kit in resin to fit the chassis would probably be a good idea. If it came to fruition - I'd take 2 straight away.

Guest Max Stafford Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Red Devil, I'd certainly be in the market for a couple of those! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durranhill Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I've just compared the Eastfield N15 chassis on my NB models N15 body kit to the Bach 56xx , front to rear drive axle is identical but the centre axle on the 56xx is about 1mm further forward than the Eastfield N15 , N15 had 4ft 6" drive wheels against 4ft 7 & 1/2" on the 56xx ,also the Dean sidings kit was designed around the Hornby 0-6-0 chassis so a Bachmann DCC ready chassis is a huge improvement & as the whole lot only cost me about £50 it's a bargain .

benachie Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 andytrains, The BB etch is definitely N15. I persuaded him to correct the cabside errors a few years back and it is now very useful. ScottishModeller, "The Dean Sidings body is not that good" - a very kind understatement! Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I have just looked in one of my NB Models N15 boxes and lurking in the bottom there is an etched brass chassis kit for the model from Kingdom Kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 That's all very well but I'm looking for someone to find an NB models kit underneath their kit for an etched chassis! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durranhill Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 On a lighter note I'm after some detail parts for what I have been told is a cheap & nasty body kit , namely Tallow cups which are mounted either on the front or side of the smokebox on certain N.B loco's , can any body put me in the right direction to obtain said items .
