Coal Tank

This really is looking very good, is there a P 4 option in the kit

Hi im doing some more work on the Lady of the Lake locomotive, ive Just fitted the connecting rods. I have used Alan Gibson horn guides on this engine, they are quite fiddly but seem to have turned out ok. Im not sure that I would use them on a  couple engine

John 

I am fittings springs to LRM horn guides as the is chassis Will be sprung. 

Looking very nice to me

John 

Impressive 

Go for it 

Hi Jol Thank you for that, that means that the 7ft 6 wheel is ok to use. 

     Mike when I fitted the crank pin I drilled a small Hole in between the spokesbefore thread ing the screw in, the Hole was smaller than the screw but it made fittings the screw much easier. The kit isnt too bad to make, im not that good at building engines but I am pleased with it so far. If you do mess something up John is good at supply ing extra etches.

I would be interested to know what size the wheels were after they had been reprofiled a few times

Find David Lane (David Big Cheeseplant on both RMweb and Scalefour Society Forum).  He may well be able to print some for you as he has constructed a program that can generate all wheel types.

 

They come out 3D printed and you will need to get a tyre from Alan Gibson.

 

 

Hi, I did ask him about this a while ago and he said that he had too much on. He has quite a nice project on.

Hi, that loco is looking very good, I like it. 

Catching up with the Jumbo, John Redrup has Just sent me a new chimney its an update casting and it is significantly better than the old one. I would like this and the Lady of the Lake finished this year. 

Hi Mike, I have used the Gibson 7ft 6inch Spinner wheels. If you look you can see where I have put thr crank pin. 

Nice work on the coaches 

This really is excellent, I did mention it on thr LNWR facebook page 

John 

Hi Mike 

       Your work is excellent and your models are very, very nice indeed. 

John 

Hi, do you mind if I mention this build on the LNWR facebook page 

John 

Maybe time to think about that smal layout Mike. A factory, Wagon turn tables, timber, pipes , grain, capstans. Lots of modeling interest for a Wagon man. 

I do have a scale 7 model of a Jubilee scratch built by Laurie Griffin 

That Jubilee looks good, maybe show us when it is finished. 

Hi nothing wrong with that you have done a lovely job of it. Please show us you future build or in fact anything that you are making or have made

Here's a few pictures of some of the M&CR and other West Cumberland prototype rolling stock that has been glimpsed in my previous posts about the M&CR horse box and in the above pictures from the Workington exhibition. The LNWR iron ore hopper (which certainly never ran to Mealsgate) and Moresby Coal Co wagon are from rakes of five and four respectively that I built a few years ago (about 25 years ago in the case of the former !) as part of my long-term ambition to build a model of Linefoot Junction (M&CR and Cleator &Workington Junction Rly) - the Moresby wagons are all lettered for the C&WJR on the other side !

Hi which kit is the hopper wagon

John 

This is Looking very nice indeed 

John 

Hi, is this going to be available 

John 

Another very nice model Mike
