RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 31, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2011 ive got one i made up myself, first ever go at soldering and i was impressed with the finished article, the only thing i did change was the bogies, i replaced the cast whitemetal bogies with some off a Dapol fea twin. the tanks are resin... the module is from sjr models i bought all the bits for the kit from shawplan btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 31, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2011 Shawplan aren't stocking many S-Kits items these days, but I think can get them to order. Nairnshire Modelling Supplies do carry good S-Kits stocks, but don't show the RHTT on their website. A quick call may be in order. Transfers were from Frank at Scale Model Transfers, but unfortunately no longer available. I would call John Peck at Preceision Labels if I needed another set. It's worth weighting the spine etch before sealing it up. The jetting module is from SJR (I think S-kits now supply this) and requires modifying with wire handrails and added footstep. I think there's also a Sandite module available, for the RHTT's that carry out that duty. My local RHTT used to be 2 wagons with 5 tanks and one jetting module, but another wagon with 3 water tanks was added either last year or the year before. Coincidentally, it's due by my house in about 35 mins with DRS/Fastline 66 power. (66304/434). Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragtag Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nothing to do with me mate, copy & pasted that from ukmodelshops - although I see the info has since been updated (the county corrected, and loughborough added in bold). I'll edit the first post to avoid confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Brilliant! I've been looking for info on these kits for quite some time, and I'm glad I stumbled across this before posting a question elsewhere and getting my hand slapped! I take it the kit is for the one FEA-F, so obviously I'd need to get hold of two of them (writing a request for a catalogue/price list as I type!). How many extras were needed to complete the flat, apart from wheels? I'm now definately set on having a go at recreating a pretty common train around York in the last month or so, especially with a pair of 20s in charge #classictraction All of the above photos were taken around York with a couple of hours on November 2 2011 Thanks for the build photos too, it doesn't look too complex, which is a help as it shouldn't (famous last words) be too frustrating!

JaymzHatstand Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Like I need any more ideas on modelling RHTTs! When and where was this shot taken? I like the comparison of an almost ex-works loco and a filthy pair of wagons! Thanks for sharing J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 28, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2011 here is vid i got earlier of the RHTT departing marylebone with a filthy 66001 and 66019 providing the power, kf you weathered a model like is no one would believe you if you said it was prototypical!! seeing this reminded me why i used to go through at least 2 jackets a season when i used to work the RHTT at drs!!

RMweb Premium GraemeWatson Posted January 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2012 Following (off-board) encouragement from RMweb member Jaymz Hatstand he encouraged me to blog-up my recent efforts at making a "budget" RHTT, using Hornby Railroad items, and scratchbuilding. So, here's the build method in my Blog Entry. You should be able to knock this up for about £35, in two nights, with little or no scratchbuilding expertise. NB: I realise that it's not exactly prototypical, nor is it it meant to be, but it's a good use for all those "Shell" wagons you may have kicking around!

Swifty11 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The model RHTT looks great, I'll have to make one for my DRS depot, just one quick question, where do you get the wheels? Thanks for the help... Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help... Tom who is that question aimed at swifty? my wheels (bogies in fact) are from a Dapol fea twin wagon, the s-kits kit does come supplied with whitemetal bogies but i had trouble putting them together so i swapped them for ready made ones, i did however use romford wheels and bearings, cant reemember the size but they were from my stockbox and intended for a 153 conversion so they were probably too big!
