Would adding more linseed oil at this stage thin it down again?

Dundee had an independent brewery operating from the New Pleasance brewery until the 1970’s which could trace its history back to around 1530 They were bought over by Dryburgh’s in the seventies and closed down shortly after

I wonder if this would assist when brush painting, leaving a smoother finish?

Hi Mark Just found your thread and the few pictures that survive are great. I appreciate you are getting ready for a house move now, l don’t suppose you have an overall view of Tyteford Halt you could upload to give the full picture? Thanks Mark

Possibly gone from limited company to sole trader? Website also says landline no longer in use.

It looks like scotch is used in railway terms, found this on a quick google “Scotch blocks are a specialty type of wheel chock made of steel or steel alloy. Scotch blocks are traditionally used on railways to prevent parked train cars from moving or rolling. Scotch blocks are also sometimes used to store motorcycles or other vehicles that typically rely on a kickstand to remain upright while stationary.” on this page https://www.myteeproducts.com/auto-towing-hauling/wheel-chocks-scotch-blocks.html looks like American usage though

Would limewash have been used to clean them, as with cattle trucks?

I read an old “recipe “ a while back for a paint mix which included boiled linseed oil in the mix.

1 1/2 inches per mm sounds ok 37.66mm track gauge to scale double P4?

This is one of the Armstrong Whitworth ones, Mercian used to do a kit, occasionally comes up on eBay. Having said that I would rather do one of Mike’s ones.

Hi Chas This could be a daft question or thinking out of the box would cooling the model or test plate in the fridge help matters? Mark

The two trolley wagons would also be specials with a fair number of non standard components. So not really comparative to mass production of standard open wagons. So likely a premium cost

Looks very well weathered

I just noticed some post migration ones missing from another thread too

That’s good news

30 degrees seems a bit shallow from memory

Found a more modern video which shows a tippler with clear views of what appears to be very fine coal being tipped from about 30 seconds in. https://digg.com/video/rotating-railcar-dumper The load starts moving when the wagon reaches quite a high tilt.

It seems there are, this one unfortunately not available on the web https://movingimage.nls.uk/film/5662

Not sure, I think it would depend on the lump size and from memory of the one working in Dundee the coal is stable up to a point then the whole lot pours out. But that was a long time ago I wonder if there are any old films of tipplers in action

Maybe the guy sitting on the wagon in the background next to the tippler is a clue You could sit on the side sheet and step down to the platform as the wagon is tipped

A5 sounds good. What about a 3 way with interlaced sleepers?

I think you have just saved me from a load of hassle

The only thing I know for certain is I now have to find the book I read it in.
