    How about using Bill Bedford sprung bearing carriers behind a cosmetic ‘w iron’ (not that all BG stock ones look like Ws) and axlebox. The pressure from the axle will keep it up against the ‘w iron’. I’m sure I saw an article in MRJ doing just that (but for RTR SG) D

    Charlie, What can package do you use? Could you do a tutorial on how you made your 3D prints? DrDuncan

    Charlie, Making some BG pinpoint axles is on my to do list. If they make on to the much rarer ‘done’ pile, how many would you need to be going on with? DrDuncan

    I really like the idea of drop in compartments! D

    Just had a look at the image on a (much) bigger screen; what I thought might be clerestory roofs to the left of the watertower might actually be gas piping on low roofed stock. Duncan

    A fantastic resource. Many thanks for all your hard work in the archives. DrDuncan

    Looks like 4 or more are Clerestory 4/6 wheelers too. Were there any 6w Clerestories in the R, S or T diagram series that are yet to cataloged on the Penhros web site? D

    Beautiful work Linny! DrDuncan

    A T20?

    The U22 4w brake composite was an 1886 vintage convertible so SG body on BG frames. There’s a drawing of one on Richard Spratt’s excellent Penhros Junction website. DrDuncan

    To change direction of the thread a little, does anyone have a reference for what the pre RCH head codes were? DrDuncan

    Richard, Many thanks. I look forward to the update on your excellent website! Regards Duncan

    Looks good. What’s the plan for painting? D
  14. drduncan
    Yes he does, but understandably Richard is concentrating on the diagrams he is most interested in and it struck me while perusing Russell vol one and considering its errors, that a comprehensive list matching diagrams to Lewis classification might help modellers identify problems with drawings (I’m told the eaves on a few of the Russell drawings are inaccurate so will throw off any attempts to use the drawing) and flesh out some of the captions.

    That’s very kind. I’ll see what comes along in this thread and then get back to you if I may. D

    Yes, but I’m interested in bogie stock as well as 4/6 wheelers. D

    Yes brown vehicles were grey before WW1, but before 1904 (probably but could be as early as 1892) the year is uncertain) grey vehicles were red... DrDuncan

    Dear all, Is there a list of Dean coach diagrams and the corresponding Lewis classification? DrDuncan
  19. drduncan
    Hi Chris, Yes the suspension rods at each end of the bogie are fixed to the solebars. I’d cut them just below the solebar (or just above the bogie) and that should give the movement needed. Duncan

    I’ll see if I can find a good picture or drawing. D

    Chris, how goes the coaches? Duncan

    Mike, Excellent work. The scale four newsletter article about using vinyl for framing Isle of Wight coaching stock I mentioned in another post used a vinyl that had pressure activated adhesive to allow easy positioning over the main shell. I look forward to the next instalment! Duncan

    See for the internal layout of linhays or dry. Also the relationship with the settling ponds. I believe about 1 ton of coal was needed to dry about 10 tons of China clay. Duncan

    On Empire Mills, the MRC’s now sold EM layout, we had a dry about 1m long based on a rather unique dry with a central furnace (the name of the real dry escapes me). We had to reduce the length of the model by about 1/2 to 2/3rds and it still looked massive! See the defunct EMpire project blog especially the photos from the Alexandra Place 2015 show:
