John lewsey Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 ive been painting some of the minerals but instead of using transfers for the stripe I've masked them up and sprayed it on I think it looks better .Some have come out better than others I put the paint on to wet on the first couple Regards John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted May 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2015 as a person who has trouble quartering a 0-4-0 i can say that is impressive The simplest way to quarter wheels is a pair at a time so whether it's an 0-4-0 or a 2-10-0 it's simply a series of 0-4-0s.

Steve Sykes Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Out of interest, what minimum radius will the loco go round? Have you had to take any special measures to allow for side-play on such a long loco? I believe the real things were notorious for spreading the track in sidings; that probably says more about the track than the engine.

John lewsey Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi Steve the radius for the layout is 3ft 6ins there are also Q6 and 9fs destined for Brick bridge so hopefully everything will be well Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
