RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 22, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have finally decided to build a few SPV, from another member I read you can base it on the Parkside LNER plate wagon. I started with the chassis, the W irons first, I used MJT ones with the Parkside supplied wheels and bearings, MJT 7 leaf springs, this one Parkside STV Hybox axle baoxes and MJT brake shoes. I cut off the original W irons, filed the back to make room and put thin plastic strip under 1mm square to mount the sole bars outwards. Brake gear will be pivots in middle on this one, so will use the handles off the kit, the next one will use standard roller bearings and handles near the end.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 22, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2013 The sides, there are 4 hinges rather than 3 per panel, heavily filed L section is used, I will do the rest of the hinge quite soon. End, MJT Oleo buffers fitted, I lost one spring, it took me nearly an hour to find it. PHEW! End of it for today Next jobs are:- Finish the hinges. Put body on chassis. Put triangular pieces on sole bar to body. Brake handles. Vacuum gear. Couplings. Paint. Oh and I built it compensated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
