pete_mcfarlane Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Finally, after 4 years, it's finished. I'm rather pleased with this, having wanted a model of a Tadpole for years. I'm not sure I;d fancy building another DEMU in a hurry, so the 3D I'd also like will have to wait. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted June 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2018 Fantastic job with the Tadpole unit. I have one very slowly under construction as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I won't one I won't one or maybe two. Where did you get drawings from as I would also like to build one as well. I traveled an several in the ex EPB trailer as well as the other carriages. Also should have said well done. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I started out using the drawings in this book, which aren't great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pictorial-Record-British-Railways-Multiple/dp/1900298007 They were then tweaked using the photos and dimensions that were very helpfully posted earlier in the thread by Dave Smith http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/71688-scratchbuilt-secrsrbrs-stock/?p=1349150 Rather annoyingly I've since had the laptop with my drawings on it pinched (moral - put these things in Drobox or OneDrive).

pete_mcfarlane Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 And as if by magic, no sooner do I finish my scratchbuilt one but a kit appears.... http://www.worsleyworks.co.uk/4mm/4mm_Updates.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
