Emery Hill Station

Alright so, First attempt at scratchbuilding, and so far I have only gotten to a rolling chassis sitting on incorrect bogies. But heres how I made the NER Electric Luggage van so far.

I started out by printing out to the correct scale the design drawings, then transfering the correct dimensions to sheets of card.

This then allowed me to sort out all the dimensions before transferring this to plasticard to make a rolling chassis

I have not progressed further than this yet but I will update when I do

Finished the bodyshell, now just trying to source a chassis

Assuming that the photo shows the total number of parts that you have, the side illustration on the printed card gives a useful guide.
 

- The  sides go together with the cabs at the outer ends.  

- The cab fronts go on the front.

- The three roof parts go on top:  the rightmost roof part in the photo is the central one; the other two are on each end with the sloped edge being the cab end.

 

The plastic bogies shown in the photo are coach bogies (possibly Lima) and will be of no use as the axle centres won’t match those of the cast white metal bogie sides provided with the kit.

Does your kit come with a chassis or are those the only parts that you have?
 

Cheers

Those are the only parts I have as I think it was designed to use a Hornby Chassis (I think the class 90?) which I don't have. I'll probably have a go at making my own chassis using spare parts or 3d printing

Is it the one with two piece bodysides and the separate cab fronts? 

If so I'm trying to build one like that but it way out of kilter.

 

Yes, yes it is.

This is the one I've got

I recently managed to pick up the old DC kits EM1 (Before the switch to resin) for £20 but it is missing the instructions, does anybody on here have them or have built one before?

I think my layout (Called 'Emery Hill Station', set 1975-1984) fits this, haven't got any scenics down and only have one line across 2 baseboards right now though

(Sorry for the photos, they are the right way up just RMweb thinks otherwise and has flipped them)
