RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's just not running right, a bit jittery and keeps stalling as well as being very noisy, so the sound chip has been swapped into D6921 which is running rather well. Think a new motor is on the cards to sort the problem out Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Heres some rolling stock progress Spent last weekend and this with Jim weathering our bogie bolsters - all 17 of them Wheels removed and painted Gentle squirt of frame dirt from below Dirty black wash from above Squirt of matt varnish Gives us these Also been asked about our Peaks in early blue livery 4 15 50 78 79 185 left to right and front to back 50 and 79 are early BSYP - James cut the rail blue with a paler blue to make them that bit paler - ? accurate shade but dirt and fading would make that tricky any way I guess 15 was a rework with nose doors by Mark B - cheers mate excellent job!

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Cheers Mike Funnily enough not when she came through Churchdown - but that's why I headed for Norton Junction, guessed she would warble across the pointwork then open up for some decent sound effects Shame theres no token exchange !

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 Had an even better shot of 1015 there a few years ago - still only but will see if I can find it - was a spectacular eruption But 40 is good value for money too - I don't turn out for 47s/57s!

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 9, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 Bring on some individually numbered wagon builders plates then perhaps will go with that - Ready cut out of course!!!! Hee hee Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 Beautiful peaks Phil. What did Mark use for the central doors on D15 - plasticard I'm guessing? It's a mark of the quality of the Bachmann model that they can look so real. Without wanting to open a can of worms, the blue on the BSYPs looks a different shade - what blue did you use?

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 9, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Hi Neil Yes it is a can of worms - you are right. That's rail blue rendered somewhat paler with a small amount of paler blue - well rendeded photos in economy blue not common. heres D133 https://www.flickr.com/photos/59835095@N02/6309151547/in/set-72157628044675918 As for D15 IIRC Mark used some etched brass doors we had in stock from a Craftsman class 44 detailing kit - 55A shed plate also added, prototypically overpainted yellow! She only run in this form for a couple of years, by 1969 she had acquired centre box headcodes https://www.flickr.com/photos/59835095@N02/6309142767/in/set-72157628044675918 - presumably due to accident damage. The headcode boxes are also additions on this model, IIRC it started out life as a centre box loco. Heres a comparison shot with Bacchy's spilt box loco - D79 for us Copped her in split box form on my first ever gricing trip to New Street in September 1967 - hence my enthusiasm for her!

Hee hee Phil Don't go thinking we haven't been there, I decided that is what weathering is for, life's too short! Although that's not to say builders plates won't be appearing in a generic fashion. Also, Mr Isherwood Sir may be amenable to doing his existing sheets with different numbers, he's offered to do me more sheets of bobol E's. Mike.

JohnMartin90125 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Steam chipping didnt go quite to plan.... Fiddliest? 92220 - getting the chip to sit in the smokebox. Reminds me of the 9F I chipped - was yours the Hornby one? Whilst I used an earlier Margate body on a Hornby Railroad loco drive mechanism (wonderfully smooth runner btw) witha Hornby chip, smokebox door didn't want to stay on. It wasn't as if I made a mess of the wiring loom either. Some excellent stuff you have done there, if mine ends up a tenth as good as that, i would be happy.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 13, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2014 Many thanks John 9f from Bacchy - 92220 Its a lot of work building - and maintaining - a layout! Keeps me off the streets.... Kind regards Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't think we are slacking too much..... And theres a whole lot of gassing to be done on here too! Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Neil As for D15 IIRC Mark used some etched brass doors we had in stock from a Craftsman class 44 detailing kit - 55A shed plate also added, prototypically overpainted yellow!

The headcode boxes are also additions on this model, IIRC it started out life as a centre box loco. Kind regards Phil Hi Phil D15 was part of the refurbishment scheme that Brush under took in the late 1960's, all the Brush motored locos and a selection of Crompton locos. They can be identified by a central headcode box and the triangular grille under the main grille. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
