RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted May 12, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks Chris. I am very happy to add it to the stock list. I have the urge to do some more wagons. Do you want some suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Do you want some suggestions? All suggestions are welcome. Although I have never had a problem finding more than enough work for myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted May 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2014 D1402 outside framed LSWR covered goods wagon - the one with the triangular steel(?) bracing to the wooden frame X sides? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 D1402 outside framed LSWR covered goods wagon - the one with the triangular steel(?) bracing to the wooden frame X sides? Now that is one that I was going to look at. the triangles are vent covers. I think with this van a few others are easy. Fruits, meats etc. I was also thinking of maybe a cattle and single bolster.

N15class Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Back to the BTW for a bit. I was hoping for the final time, but a little accedent means I have to wait for the flux to arrive. One of the cab steps came, got knocked off. I think a deft touch with the RSU with plenty of flux will re attach it without damage to the outside. All this means I cant give the body a coat of varnish yet. But I have done the cab, which I think has come out very well. The crew are a tight fit but that was true of the real thing too. I just need make a shovel for the fireman to lean on whilst he finishes his tea. The chassis is now with pickups and runs very well. I managed to get pickups on all six wheels. I also added a little weight to the frames. The loco comes in at just over 500 grams. I am not going to add any more until I have had a play. I dislike heavier than needed locos. As it's duties will be 8/10 wagons I will only weight it enough for that. Here are the piccies. I will add more when the loco is finished. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Brilliant work Thanks Tom I am now at the stage I want it finished and put away to make sure it stays safe. That's only the second BWT in 7mm scale I have ever seen. Mine is also 3298! Looking good Peter. Thanks Paul. B###er! But it has to be 50-50 chance we had the same number. I think you did more alterations to yours than I did to mine, I seem to recall you did chassis and cab, I built the body as per the kit. I got mine partly built, for the price of the wheels and motor. My main work was getting the chassis to do something other than look good on a shelf.

N15class Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 If either of you is looking for somewhere safe to keep a BWT then let me know. Mine is the right version for you but in the wrong livery, I think it is quite safe here. Spams, with you coming to Barnstaple in July, probably a bank vault. Peter, our duplication may be due to the fact that the buffers supplied in the kit are only suitable for 3298 and not 3314? Is yours in Maunsell livery? Yes mine is in plain black Maunsell livery of 1933. It may in the future get a wooden front buffer plank, stove pipe chimney and back dating to the green lined black livery, No 0298. It is closer to my modelling era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 While sorting out after the arrival of my new cupboard I took a photo of the 2, 24 foots together. I am rather pleased at the finish of both of them. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 It is bl##dy tipical. I just finish my brake van which I had a struggle finding photos of it. Yesterday I received Mike Kings Southern wagons in colour and there are not one but teo lovely shots of the one on the Isle of Wight. My guess about where the SR where put was correct. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin parks Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi Peter, Many thanks for posting the extra shots of your work. The vintage train looks great! Amazing to think just a few months back the vehicles behind that loco were just flat pieces of plasticard. All the best, Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
