RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 10, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I've built the basic rack for 97304 - the various attachments still need to be....... err....... attached. A few more bits added to the rack and a quick test fit to the loco with blu-tac. Cheers, Mick Edited February 10, 2013 by newbryford 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilkko Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The 313 would be a hard project for now. I'm enjoying your work but would like the red and blue of the 80's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 11, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm enjoying your work but would like the red and blue of the 80's. Thanks, but R&D red & blue is before my modelled time era, but the likes of Bob at Oversett and others are doing that sort of thing. Hopefully, the stuff I'm doing will inspire others to cut n shut n fill and not just simply repaint - regardless of the era. Cheers, Mick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) A quick update - but not yellow, apart from the ends. 37516 and 37706 taking a photocall before final assembly. These were a bit more than just repaints of Bachmann 37514 - more to follow. Cheers, Mick Edited February 27, 2013 by newbryford 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairnsroadworks Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looking good Mick! I will look forward to seeing how you did the RSH grills on 37516 so I can copy your methodology! Cheers, Andi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look forward to seeing how you did the RSH grills on 37516 so I can copy your methodology! Cheers, Andi. Rather than using styrene, I used this strips of paper for the extra strapping. Tip: Use a sharp (i.e. new) blade to cut the paper to create a clean edge. They are superglued into place - cut overlength to start with Then they are cut down to fit Then glued into final place - the three ribs across the roof are done in the same way A coat of grey primer seals them in. 37706 has a blanked out window and footsteps. It also has the three ribs across the roof. More detail mods to follow. Cheers, Mick Edited February 27, 2013 by newbryford 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Fantastic idea with the paper, Mick. I'll have to give that a go at some point. Nice piece in RE on the JNAs too, getting me in the mood to attack the N gauge ones when they appear! jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 28, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Other "reasonably obvious" details - 37516 has round buffers one end, oval elliptical at the other. 37706 has oval elliptical at one end, oval at the other. Depending upon exactly when they are modelled, they could be carrying none, 2 or three ploughs. 37706 has cast bogies - I cut off the "lip" of the fabricated bogie and rounded the edge. 37706 has a double fuel tank - easily done by removing the step from one tank. Both now have vertical handrails on the front corners - the original model 37514 doesn't. I only spotted these when starting to apply OLE warning transfers on the nose ends. Both have nose mounted aerials - toothbrush bristles are perfect for these - certainly not an original idea by me! Both have an extra high mounted central lamp bracket on the nose. Pics later. For those of you with yellow tendencies - don't worry, I'm planning that there'll be a big push on those in the next couple of weeks Cheers, Mick Edited February 28, 2013 by newbryford 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 6, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) 37516 has already had an away day to Carl BR's Alderford at the recent Pretson Ex, but here's a quick (bad) phone shot of the WC twins having their first outing on Blackmill. Pretty much finished, although I still need to detail the buffer beams and sort out the couplings, but this depends on the train that I put together for them - probably going to be a miscellaneous rake of WCRC that's on a Ardwick depot visit to/from tyre turning (without the burning 47500 on the back.............). In the meantime, they'll be put on the "almost finished" shelf (they will be made ready for York at Easter), whilst I get on with the yellow stuff - 9516 went under the knife last night. I've also started initial research and design on a longer term project - single unit 98008, converted from a Bachy MPV. I need to have an hour or two with my friendly etch drawing friend of Liverpool Lime St roof fame.

I now have 10 coaches virtually ready for painting. They all still need door handles as I've run out, but that won't prevent a visit to the paint shop. As always, roof details can be hard to come by, but a couple of pics turned up on flickr recently to make it (almost) all clear. 977983 and 999550 and others in the same collection have proved most useful. The other coach requiring some closeup shots is 9708. I have some of my own from late 2009, but I had seen more recent pics showing a different type of lighting (?) unit on the front - the originals are as shown here, However, Gridwatcher of this parish provided me with some recent pics and this is the result so far. 9708 also has some unusual strips of metal on the vestibule end. Seen here This is my take on it. And finally, thanks to Tim for sending me the hi-res version of this picture confirming the plating up of the brake compartment doors on 9516 - this side only - the other side still retains the doors. The middle passenger door is also plated - both sides - similar to 9523 Cheers, Mick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi Mick, just a quick question. What do you use for replacement handles on the Mk 2 based stock? I've had a look through at all the great stuff on here but can't see an obvious answer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 14, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi Mick, just a quick question. What do you use for replacement handles on the Mk 2 based stock? I've had a look through at all the great stuff on here but can't see an obvious answer! If it's a T handle, I tend to use etched handles from 247 Developments (but I've just run out). If I'm feeling flush, I may use turned brass T handles! For L shaped handles, I usually use 0.3mm wire, bent to shape and then flattened between a pair of smooth nosed pliers.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 14, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ta to Mr Meld for this pic - published with his permission. 9516 panelled doors - the footboard/step has been completely filled. As the new panel is pretty near flush with the existing bodywork, I have an idea to represent it using clear transfer paper with the outline of the door and spots to represent the bolt heads. Fingers crossed! Cheers, Mick 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyM Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Just noticed the comments in post #319 regards the new lighting arrangements on 9708, uploaded a reasonably recent shot taken at Carlisle on the 29th Jan http://www.asterias.co.uk/kaleidoscape/displayimage.php?pid=2690 KennyMhttp://www.asterias.co.uk/kaleidoscapeThere are 10 types of people in the world.Those that understand binary and those that do not! ‹(•¿•)› Edited March 15, 2013 by KennyM 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Fisher Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) And what off the very basic repair with gaffer tape on the roof end above the cab windows? Just what does gaffer tape scale out at 76 times smaller. What a bodge on the prototype! My 9714 is shaping.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 15, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2013 Archers? Mike. I had thought about Archers transfer rivets - that'll be plan B if my plan A doesn't work! It may be that a combo of transfer sheet for the panel and Archers transfers may be an even better solution.
