The Bigbee Line Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Does anybody have experience in which paint comes closest to Dapols black? According to this drawing Dapol uses Pantone PMS 419 matt: https://digest.Dapol.co.uk/filedata/fetch?photoid=389 But unfortunately http://scalemodeldb.com/paint seems to be offline at the moment, so I can´t translate the colour there... Manuel Pantone is for ink printed on white paper.... How did you get on with a match? I'm after a match for the stroudley IEG 'yellow' on Brighton....

stonetown Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 How did you get on with a match? I'm after a match for the stroudley IEG 'yellow' on Brighton.... Since I´m a pure collector without a lot of experience in building or painting (also without any black paint at home to compare) not very good, to be honest. But since my loco (Fishbourne) sadly also had a couple of other faults I decided it´s best to send it to DCC Supplies to get it repaired or exchanged. Good luck with the IEG, that´s of course a whole different story than finding a plain black! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just managed to pick up a brighton on ebay I now have two in early LBSCR livery unfortunatly one has to be repainted LSWR in the next week which one? Marc I think 734 is the one that remained the same. But then I believe it did not last long. 735 was altered a few times within it's LSWR/SR life.

MarcD Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I was thinking of doing 734. but which LBSCR loco should feel the full force of the airbrush? I will have 2 Beattie well tanks to paint at the same time. one is in the goods livery and the other in the passenger livery. Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc I did 735 with a Drummond boiler and dome with stove pipe chimney.Complete with 3 wire pull push. I would like to see one of the BTW kits. May think of adding another to my stock or replace my Shedmaster one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 All this talk of a terrier reminds me that I have one sitting in a box, waiting for me to do the NSWGR N67 class conversion on it! Sometimes I think I should have just bought a standard one and played with it like that, but no, I had to give myself a long-term conversion project!

Georgeconna Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I saw this model action recently and I must admit it is a bargain at the price, When I look at the rolling stock £250 for a Heljan Mk 1 coach kills it for me really. Good job OO rolling stock is not dearer than the locos!! Edited September 15, 2016 by Georgeconna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some is! http://www.goldenagemodels.net/lner-coaches-oo-gauge.html You need to look a bit further, - the Heljan coaches aren't even the right profile, try these for size http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/O-scale-MTH-Fine-scale-British-Passenger-rolling-stock--Retail-only-.html at about £125 a coach they're a bit closer.

hartleymartin Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Has there been an upsurge in getting SR/LBSCR coaches made available? I think a string of four-wheelers behind a terrier would be marvellous. I might even be convinced to switch from Australian (most private/industrial users bought British, so yay! for the new RTR industrial locos) and model a free-lanced British style layout.

MarcD Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 LBSCR coaches are being design as we speak. We will be offering them as kits or RTR on demand. We found out resently that we do have two already in our coach range a 1870's all 3rd and a 1880's all 1st. So we will be adding another all 3rd, a comp and a brake 3rd. I addition to this our LBSCR range will have a goods brake van and a 6 plank open added to it this year. Also we have been commissioned to produce a LBSCR/LSWR joint railcar. Again these will all be available as either kits or RTR to order. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting Inkscape and my Silhouette Portrait to come to my rescue far sooner than any manufacturer! Given the recent releases of the Hudswell Clarke Peckett and Terrier, I am sure there is a ready market for some ready to run 4 or 6 wheel pre-grouping coaches that could serve a purpose as generic light railway coaching stock. I have no doubt this will be a growing area of interest in coming years as more and more are attracts to O gauge but are limited to smaller models. Personally I'd prefer NER prototypes but anything would do to serve as second-hand stock, with a 'back story' being easily justified! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that you had a list and photos at UKmodelshops, but not anymore it seems? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted September 16, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Hopefully this hasn't been discussed before, a search of RMweb found nothing: Something to watch out for on the new batch of Terriers. Mine arrived with a distorted brake assembly - and it's not just mine. The effect can be seen on several of the product photos on the web, eg here and second photo down here. I inspected my model and it turned out one brake rod was 3 mm longer than the other. This makes the brake assembly buckle and pulls the brake blocks onto the wheels on the short side. One explanation could be that the different brake assemblies for the wooden and iron brake blocks have been mixed up on some models. I contacted the seller who sent me on to DCC supplies (Dapol's servicing agent). They replied very quickly and I offered to fit a new brake assembly myself. So a new brake assembly is now in the post. I will report back when I have tried fitting it. When you detach the "short" brake rod the mis-alignment is very apparent: Edited September 16, 2016 by Mikkel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to having a look. It would be the start of a dangerous slippery slope! I already have two LNER bogie coaches given to me by a very nice RMwebber, along with a Lima continental coach. I have ideas for adapting the LNER coaches, but I also get tempted to try to convince the world that the Colonel ran boat trains! The opportunity to add more fiction would just get too tempting, and expensive . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
