micklner Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Couple of wagons done. Parkside Dundas LNER Hopper this has taken a age to make , 51L Metal Buffers, Maygib wheels and Smiths Couplings added, a good end result but to me the Hornby r.t.r version is better all round and saves lot of time, the only thing better on the Parkside is the inside handrail moulded, not used on the Hornby version. D&S ex NER Single Bolster pair . Edited June 28, 2017 by micklner 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted June 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2017 Nice. Nice horsebox too - got one of those on the go myself - D&S NER, right? Did the height of the sides match the height of the ends? Mine didn't! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine didn't! Dont remember any problems , the other D&s NER version where the sides/doors go into the sides of the roof was a bit of a pain to fit however !!.

RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted June 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nice work, Arthur. It was only half a mill out, but I had to put a strip of brass along the bottom edge of the ends to make them line up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemeg Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks to you, for all the advice regarding this build. Mick, You're welcome; it was my pleasure. As satisfying as this build must be, for you, it was also gratifying for me to see you make a success of it. And I can vouch for the fact that the tender is easier (maybe only slightly - joking!!) to build than the loco!! And much as I enjoyed building the B16/1, the B15 is a far better looking loco. Shame that they had all gone by 1948. Cheers Mike Edited August 11, 2017 by mikemeg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Mick, that's absolutely brilliant. Something different with the lined workshop grey and green wheels. (It didn't seem quite enough just to tick the box) Edited September 9, 2017 by The Blue Streak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeldarb Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I am the lucky owner of the commission conversions Mick has done to produce St Gatien in wartime black and Woodcock in workshop grey. Both models are stunning in the flesh. Many thanks to Mick for producing such excellent results. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted October 16, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2017 The shadow under the tender flare show that you've got it spot-on straight - more than most do. Well done! Did it cost you a lot of effort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
