RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 11, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2015 1860 real does look and sound superb - is she going back to Rosedale or transfering to Salturn ?. A very nicely executed project indeed. Well done.

Guest G567281 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 No holiday by the sea for this one, heading back up on to the moors. http://image-archive.org.uk/wp-content/MAX/2011_04/162.jpg http://web.onyxnet.co.uk/Auffret-onyxnet.co.uk/railways/rosedale/rose19.jpg More specifically here - http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/r/rosedale/rosedale_old_small8.jpg Thanks for posting the images of 1860. I have a set of these photographs purchased in the bar of the Milburn Arms some forty years ago. If she is going back to the moors, perhaps the centre drivers will have to be removed - temporarily. Stealing shamelessly, I took advantage of your imitative and purchased a Zimo sound decoder from John of YouChoos with you "bells and whistles". I hope to receive it during the coming week. "J24" sound will then be heard in Canada. I follow your work with much interest. Best regards Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gringo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well that's about it for painting and lining, it needs a bit of weathering, coal, fire irons and glazing to finish. Very happy with how it's turned out and if anyone wants to see it in the flesh I'll have it with me at Goathland next weekend. IMGP1930-003.JPG I saw this little engine yesterday at Goathland Model Railway Exhibition and it is just stunning. Not only is it a beautiful example of a late Victorian 0-6-0, but Paul has produced an absolutely brilliant model, which I sat gazing at for quite some time after sampling tea and cakes in the refreshment area. And when I got home last night, I spent 4 minutes and 36 seconds listening to the sound chip in the post 706, whilst having a cup of tea, of course! The J24 is now ready to joins Paul's collection of North Eastern engines; one of which was assisting at the Mill yesterday morning (the J77, a Wilson Worsdell rebuild of a Fletcher design). Go and see them if you can, or be sure to put the Goathland show in your diary for next year. All the very best, John BTW, you can watch prototype steam engines too just down the road and have an ice cream! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi. That really is top quality modelling. Modelling of such a high standard is able to show people just what a lovely railway the NER was. With regards, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Great photos. It certainly shows that croft depot is a lovely detailed layout. I saw it at scaleforum a few years ago. It is a layout you look into. Very well observed modelling. Let alone one of my favourite subject of the NER... Lovely rolling stock also! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Excellent modelling Paul, looks and sounds superb can't wait for the new layout. Regards Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 10, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've got the first of the 6 wheelers painted, lined and lettered, the lining isn't as good as I'd like it to be but it's far better than my first attempts on an old coach I was practising on. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted August 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nice looking coach Paul. what did you use for the lining? Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 11, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2015 Nice looking coach Paul. what did you use for the lining? Cheers Simon Morning Simon, I've used Humbrol No 69 gloss yellow applied with a Bowpen thinned a little bit as it is an oldish half used tin that had thickened a bit. It was then tidied up with a cocktail stick and thinners, a couple of panels were 're-filled' with red where needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerron Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Paul, I presume the coach body colour is Cherry paints NER Crimson lake? BTW have you seen the Lanarkshire NER cast buffer stops,I have just today received a pack of five.Like all his stuff they are beautifully cast.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 11, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi Ron, It's Precision NER Crimson Lake, so possibly the same colour. Yes, I've had the first 2 types of buffer stops from Dave, very nice, see Greyscroft Mine for details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well thanks for the mention guys.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 17, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was planning on converting an NER 20t hopper to a Central Division, end brake, double axleguard version, I had selected one of a batch that I bought second hand a few years ago but on closer inspection there are so many differences that I decided to start with a new kit. I had wanted to build one with 'Anti Friction Gear' but this will wait as the axleboxes need some serious alterations. The outside axlecuards and Vs were added from 20 x 60 thou plastic strip with nuts added from 20 x 20 thou. I am using Brassmasters signal cranks and .5mm brass wire for the operating rods. The brakes have been modified by cutting the push rods out and turning them round so they are in the correct orientation for this type of wagon. The next job is to make up the levers and guide. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 20, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've got the second coach lined tonight, I've invested in a new Bowpen and it runs a lot smoother than the old one, still need a lot of practice as I'm nowhere near the the Larry Goddard lined MR coaches that I was looking at tonight at MrKirtley800's. I've got the first brake lever on the P7 Some foreigners! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted August 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, Have to agree with Mark, the coach is looking good. Are you going to be bringing it to Darlington as I wouldn't mind having a closer look. Can I also ask who's kit is the L&Y van? Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Can I also ask who's kit is the L&Y van? Cheers Simon Looks like the old MAJ kit, long unavaiable. Nice underframe, shame about the raised planking lines. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
