If you have pre-ordered, you can purchase these straight from the website or await a invoice from myself over the next few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted June 2, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hi Horsetan, those castings are photographed as they came, no cleaning up done to them. Yes there was a tender back which ended up in the scrap bin which was probably because it it was worn or didnt come out right, cant remember the exact reason but there are other parts that was the same. Looks as good as it ever did. I think the casting for the Light Pacific tender rear is missing (old part ref: TB) - Albert definitely produced one to improve the Airfix/ Dapol high-sided tender.

jessy1692 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 All quiet on the RT Models front after alot of exciting releases. Dare I ask if theres any news on the Harrogate Gas Works Barber RT? Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted June 28, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi James, Yes I've been busy recently mainly with work and moved house last week. Funny enough I did mention about barber at the wigan exhibition just gone which the basic cut patterns are to hand and the turnings done already so is very slowly getting there. On the plus side the revised harrogate drewry is now available with etched front grill and steps, improved castings and now included as standard is the jackshaft drive but has pushed the price of the kit up to £31.00, at the moment I'm not able to alter the website as I'm awaiting internet connection at the new house which everything is being done via my mobile phone. The albert goodall range will be having added shortly his scale drawing and paper overlays but I will not be able to spray these like albert used to so will be cheap. I am also going to reintroduce alberts headboards shortly but these will be painted as I can do these by hand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also going to reintroduce alberts headboards shortly but these will be painted as I can do these by hand. Robert: I've just discovered some notes that Albert wrote for the "Rebuilt" light pacifics - would you like a set to go with the reinstated parts range? Good to hear about the return of the paper overlays - I'm considering using them on an old Crownline "WC", as the etches supplied are slightly too thick and make the 9-foot cab look wrong! Also, did you obtain the artwork for the crests / shields / flags? Albert always made a point of providing them with the nameplates.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted June 28, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yes please Horsetan, can never have enough notes! I have been passed on more notes so I've got to sit down and go through these. The crests and badges I havnt taken on as yet as there's still loads for me to so Jim is still dealing with these for the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yes please Horsetan, can never have enough notes!.... I have e-mailed these extra ones to you now. Did they come through at your end? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted July 18, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi all, Just added to the website is albert goodalls scale drawings and paper overlays.

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted August 18, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Hi all Has it really been a month since ive last said anything on this thread! Moving house hasn't helped. Well, not much to report really, development work is slowly being carried out on the 4mm scale sentinel which i'm hoping to have (fingers crossed) a basic test etch of it on display at both the EM and Scale Four exhibitions in september. However if the next test etch comes out ok and for a surprise, i should have released at the shows the 4mm SG Hudson Tipper Wagon found at many collieries for removing spoil. Chilton Iron works used to do a model many years ago of it. Also i should have some of the LT wagon cast parts available for sale.

Adam Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That is good news on both the Sentinel and the Hudson tipper Robert. Looking forward to both. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted August 22, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) If anyone is interested in reserving a hudson tipper wagon provided that they are released on time, please let me know off group/email the quantity and whether you will be picking them up in september at manchester or leatherhead exhibitions. Prices look likely to be up £15 per wagon including wheels and £70 for a 5x wagon multipack. Edited August 22, 2012 by RThompson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted August 28, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi all, heres the test build of the 4mm scale Hudson Tipper wagon. Some minor tweaking needed but otherwise it builds wells, this version sits on the EM/P4 chassis and is built to EM gauge. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Looks good Robert, I'll be in touch... Presumably buffers will be included? Adam Edited August 28, 2012 by Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted September 10, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2012 Good evening everyone, just to let you know that the 4mm scale hudson tipper wagons are in stock and are priced at £17.00 per wagon or £80.00 for a pack of 5. The above prices include alan gibson universal wheel profile wheels, if they are not required then the kits are £2.70 less per wagon. £14.30 and £66.50 respectively. Also to be released all in 4mm scale for the EM gauge north show this weekend and Scaleforum at the end of the month is some surprise detailing items not announched, something for steelworks, something for the southern railway and before covering the late 1800's to the end of steam in 1967 for central and south western sections (and more upgrades to the Albert Goodall range) and LT loco and wagon detailing parts. (sorry no N class footplate Horsetan at the moment) The basic Sentinel test etch is here and will be on display both weekends. The website will not be updated with new items till early october at least. I hope to see you at either (or both) shows which feel free to introduce yourself and have a chat.

Gordon A Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Are the Hudson tippers sprung / compensated/ or rigid? Gordon A Bristol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted September 10, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Gordon, They are produced as rigid chassis's but shouldn't take much effort to fit inside square bearings and guides. Note on the prototype the bearings are fitted to the outside faces of the chassis, NOT the inside like on locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Rob, Thanks for the reply. If you have a couple of minutes any chance of a picture of the underneath of the Hudson tipper wagon please? Gordon A Bristol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
