hayfield Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 My latest acquisition from eBay The chassis is very much in the Jamieson style, it was described as a Black 5 chassis. Has insulated nickel rimmed wheels on both sides and a large 5 pole motor. Runs fine, but needs a bit if work on the other sides valve gear. I have a Jamieson Black 5, any ideas please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Andrew Thanks, I had an idea the motor may be a Pitman, but was unsure it it was also marketed by Romford As I said its in a Jamieson style but differs to a standard Jamieson by having higher frames around the front driver. I think the chassis has been painted rather than chemical blackening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just won a Jamieson Royal Scott for £21.06 all in. Needs a front bogie (I have a spare) and a tender axle box casting and a few bits need straightening (sounds worse by the second). Nice MRRC 5 pole motor Requires a repaint and whilst the valve gear works fine it has a funny grainy finish. Also needs the electrical pickups re-making, very ingenious insulated tender coupling, pickups from tender as well but has the same insulated polarity ?. Very well built but badly painted I did buy from W&H all 3 (Scott, Jubilee & black 5) I bet its not the Scott thats un-built Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 5, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2016 John, I bought this off Ebay and it had this chassis fitted. It certainly looks old school. i wonder if it was an Eames 'pro job'. The motor looks Farish like. What do you reckon? The odd thing is that 'one that I built earlier' is about 2mm shorter. A bit of a puzzle! I've posted the question on the 'Jamieson' thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/111177-jamieson-eames-loco-kits/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
