    That's kind of the intent behind my post - Ideally I'd take something a little bit larger and more standard BP 2-4-0T but I'll take what I can get - @TurboSnail is very much better at CAD work than I am and I haven't the funds for the Golden Arrow Whitemetal kit for an IoW tank.

    Ooh - A Freelance BP 2-4-0T?! Just what my freelance company needs. I had intended doing my own CAD for a copy of the IWR tanks but yours looks beautiful!

    It's a Hornby Dublo/Wrenn R1.

    I know the FYN had two sets of stock, one Vacuum fitted and one Air fitted, as per their two locos. I seem to recall someone telling me to Vacuum set was ex-Manchester, Sheffield & Lincoln.

    I did wonder about the polygons and thicknesses, also interesting to hear about the 'animation' - Just figured it was worth asking! It's a truly beautiful piece of CAD work.
  6. sem34090
    Just a thought, but given you've animated it could it not also be used for train sim purposes?

    They haven't exactly avoided that. By basing them very, very, closely on Stroudleys they have had not only been analysed to see what little needs to be done to make them accurate Stroudleys but also to prove how NOT generic they are! They are almost as far from generic as they can possibly. Beyond the handrails, lamp irons, and buffers, and ignoring the passenger luggage van, are there really any details on these that are not Stroudley or at least following LBSCR design practice?
  8. sem34090
    Well... They're alright.
  9. sem34090
    Buffers certainly are not sprung. Not sure if the Hattons ones are, but it wouldn't surprise; Definitely looking like the superior product, but I happened to require LBSCR stock.

    In my case a couple of thirds and a brake third courtesy of derails. Likely to be selling the full brake as I have that Roxey one now.
  11. sem34090
    Generically modified presumably meaning swapped handrails and some general laziness with some details? I say that as someone who will soon own four of these, but that's mostly because I'm modelling LBSCR stuff (for the layout they're destined for) and they're probably the best choice available to me currently.

    A couple more photos that I took last night;

    We now have a platform! The wall is just a mock-up.
  14. sem34090
    This is probably too brown now, but how's this?
  15. sem34090
    This was the state of things by the time we finished last night;

    Apologies for the brief thread-hijack that is about to ensue, but could somebody advise on Roads circa 1914? This is for my freelance pre-grouping layout set on a fictional island off the Northumberland coast. I've used Chinchilla Dust for the road surface but am unsure about the colour.

    It was certainly your whimsical approach to Railways that inspired my side of this project, so you're partially to blame here (you and @Edwardian, as well as @RedGemAlchemist)! Maxi ( @483006Terry - Terry is the former name of 483006, not of my partner; Sorry for the confusion!) is sometimes disapproving of my more realistic attitude to railway modelling, but they've got plans for at least two more, rather more fantastical, layouts so I'm kind of using this one as an excuse to scratch that freelance pre-grouping itch.
  18. sem34090
    Yes, that one... Grrrr!
  19. sem34090
    You jammy, jammy, git! I wondered which lucky sod had won her! If I'd had the money I was after the gorgeous 0-4-4T he had for sale, or else the LBSCR C2.
  20. sem34090
    I also see an electric hand lamp conversion; Any more details on that? I've got a knackered SR (LBSCR Pattern) one that I'm thinking of converting. It's probably beyond repairing to oil use as my repairs wouldn't be able to withstand much heat and at any rate I have LSWR, LT and BR (SR Pattern) ones for actually using properly.
  21. sem34090
    Significantly closer to Hattons than Hornby.
  22. sem34090
    I previously suggested I was looking at cutting and shutting the Hornby Full Brake into an approximation of its Stroudley progenitor, but a chance buy on eBay, at the same price as a Hornby vehicle, means that I know have a Roxey Mouldings brass example instead. I've therefore taken the opportunity to compare this to the Hornby example, which may also offer an indication of how the wider Hornby range compares to Stroudley stock;
  23. sem34090
    The Hornby footboard is supplied separately so I suppose could be fitted lower anyway?
  24. sem34090
    Like @Skinnylinny I think it's a bit of a shame that they are so similar; Do we know if this means the Hattons ones are more squat than was standard or that the Hornby ones are taller than proper Stroudleys, which I gather had a shallower roof profile than became standard?
  25. sem34090
    Dare I say it, but to me they're not as good as the Stadden figures, although obviously he doesn't do these two in 4mm/ft.
