Ruston Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yes, the round ones seemed much easier to make and they also make my model just that bit different from anyone else's. It's now up and running, with a light dose of weathering. I fitted the decoder yesterday evening and then oiled and ran it on the layout this morning. The poor winter light does nothing for the livery or the camera for that matter! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TimC Posted January 28, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2013 Looks the biz! Very nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It has turned out very well. I have trouble with the light here for photos. It seems to bleach out the colours. It seems to me to be a much whiter light than when I was in the UK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks, chaps. I'll get some better photos of it when we get some sunshine and the weathering is finished. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted January 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2013 Great stuff Dave. You've made a briliant job out of this kit. A nice looking loco. Think it may deserve one of your excellent videos too! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruston Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I said I'd get a better pic when we had some sunshine so as I was having a play with the railway this afternoon I did just that. A bit of sun really brings out the blue. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That is just stunning Dave, it's so natural. You've really got to look twice to realise that it's a model. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite-Yorkie Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 On 05/01/2013 at 15:57, Ruston said: I don't usually post my kit builds for reasons outlined in another thread in this section of the forum but as I've currently got one on the go, here goes... It's an Agenoria Models kit of what the blurb describes as an Italia class Hudswell Clarke, although I can find no loco so named in the works list contained in Ron Redman's book The Railway Foundry Leeds 1839-1969. The kit is meant to build into the WC&P's Walton Park and is provided with name plates, but I'm not modelling the WC&P so my loco will be an anonymous version and, possibly, with a few alterations to suit other locos of the type that I have seen in photos in various books. Rivets dimpled out, buffer beams soldered on, overlays for springs soldered on and springs bent up. Cab assembled. I'm using resistance soldering for the first time and I'm impressed with how little cleaning up is neccessary. This picture is as put together - no cleaning has been done at all in this pic. Screws to fix frames to bodywork soldered in and cab fitted to running plate. Quick question, Ruston. What's the book? Lovely engine, by the way.

doilum Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) It almost looks like a freelance Leeds special with a bit of Peckett thrown in for good measure. A great colour too, very similar to my 85A Hunslet ,Astley.
