Modern Outline Kits Class 4F
daifly replied to Hull Paragon's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Ray Any chance you could post your photos full-size? These thumbnails are a challenge for my ageing eyes. If the file size isn't at least 100K its probably too small. I'll bet I'm not the only one struggling! Thanks Dave -
Essentially badge-engineered versions of the same car. Slightly different trim and radiator grille differences. There were also MG, Wolseley and Riley versions of the same car. Dave

I suspect that you’re looking in the wrong places. Try:https://www.radleymodels.com/7mm-o-gauge-end-of-line-rtr.html And https://www.radleymodels.com/prods/206894/7mm-o-gauge-dodge-tipper-.html And https://www.radleymodels.com/great-british-road-transport-from-yesterday.html And maybe https://www.radleymodels.com/lt-vehicles.html Dave

Ken It's always helpful when you tell us mere mortals what these were! Cheers Dave
-
Ahh, so she's 76. Like this! Dave

Ken The later livery that you are using appears to have two thin bands (yellow or gold?) along the mouldings below the windows. It would seem that in later life panelling was removed/replaced and it shows as here on the replacement? luggage doors. It is also visible on some of the unpanelled fronts on later photos Dave

What Simon is referring to is this: http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_topic.php?id=3173&forum_id=6 Dave

Thanks Ken I understand what you mean now. Hours of tedium ahead then! Cheers Dave
-
Ken Would you care to expand on the 'tedious' aspects? Thanks Dave

So - You are Mr Noisy when you're allowed out! Dave

I mislaid my alternative GW Models rivet press anvil sets a couple of years ago and George was happy enough to sell me a complete replacement set. I was determined that I would not lose them again so decided on a very safe and obvious place to store them. Within the safe place, of course, I promptly located the missing originals! Dave
-
I think it’s pleasing to find missing parts. It is, however, annoying to find parts missing!Dave
-
No idea of date or location but the shed plate on the photo looks like 85D which ties in with Kidderminster late 50s - early 60s. Dave
-
I hope your platemaker spells better than you! Dave
-
So am I - I've got one in the stash so lots of photos and narrative will be appreciated! Thanks Dave
-
It's much less messy to pore rather than pour over your photos! Dave
-
Hi Simon Links to WT only work for members. Dave
-
It's easily missed as it doesn't have a '7mm' tag (or any others, come to that!). Dave
-
At the risk of starting a mathematical/technical argument, the fundamental dimension of Gauge 3 is a track gauge of 2.5". That is 1:22.6 - hence my 'approximately' jibe. Dave
-
Because it's the approximate scale for Gauge 3 layouts? Dave
-
Did you reread the posts above? My spelling is very precise. Dave
-
Andy It was a reference back to posts 37, 38 and 44 where a suggestion to call it Severn Mill was made. Severn Mill is also a trade name! http://www.severnmillnameplates.co.uk Dave
-
Quite by chance I was looking through some early S7 Group Newsletters this morning and there it was! Severn Mill was a layout by Peter Kibble that appeared at York in 1998 and, no doubt, elsewhere too at that time.Dave

Mike, as drawn the parallel tracks look very tight through the reverse curve above the lower left-hand point. Like you, I like to use some form of software or templates to identify those turnouts which require horrid crossing angles to fit the pencil plan! I love Iain Rice's plans but they 'grow' a fair bit when you use sensible radii and crossing angles through the pointwork! Dave
-
I recognise that it's just a mock up, but the platform top looks a little low. Trackwork with 'proper' chairs does look so much better than the ready-made lengths though. Dave
