ID with NER Dia Q2 Loco Coal 20 tons capacity LNER Wagons has a picture of same . Well done JW .

Looks like NE to me. Is this a Van ? cant tell if there is a Roof or not ?

Is TW due a visit to optician?? lol . He must have seen a Bachmman V2 that no one else has seen before !! Hopefully Hornby will bite the bullet as they now have a nice GS tender to go with one !!

Ah I did wonder if it was, as the Tender looks much finer than the old Finecast Juggernaut version !! that probably weighs about the same as one too. Must keep a eye out for a replacement Hornby version !! cheers

Is the W1 a Finecast version ? Looks very nice, can you get it around curves with the Cartazzi truck with flanged wheels ? My LNER version is a nightmare !! in the end I made my one with flangeless Cartazzi truck wheels aka Hornby.

As said by others too, simply the best for the price A4 around.

A real shame you have to use the lovely Kingfisher for the conversion. A real pain Hornby dont sell the bodies seperately. Etches are very effective. Are you adding the more detail ? etched letters/numbers etc?

Hornby A4 a pigs ear !!!!!!!!! bizarre :no:

D49 ready for primer.

Any updates please

I agree, dont forget the excellent Bachmann Vans and Wagons as well. Shame they didnt do the Trout in the right colour. Seems to have sold well anyway .

I was so strange a Cab Roof layout I thought there would be a picture. Excellent thanks. I think there are still a few bugs on this forum it crashes virtually every time I try and log on , normally ok at the second attempt !!

Is the Cab beading on the J6 prototypical ?

Hornby 8F which doesnt seem to get much attention on this forums. A very nice model, all I have done is weathering , etched works plates, Loco lamp and real coal in the tender. Nice and heavy and a good performer pick ups and all drivers and tender wheels as built.

Me too re drawbar. Use Irfanview for pictures , very easy to use.

Coming on nicely. One point your firebox handrail looks to go upto the right ?

Which one ? as there appears to be four? (dont like blogs) thanks

Indeed but better than nothing !!!!

Brassmasters are doing one toooooooo. Mr Martin are there any photos of your A2/2 ??

Hopefully Hornby will produce one, Bachmann have missed a big oppourtunity here to produce a correct Loco. Cannot understand their logic at all .

Many thanks I am sure they will be very useful . thanks again

Nah Apple Green please

Sadly mine are in the original Hornby position. I could not see any viable way of moving the cylinders which are Hornby version with added details. Hornby have moved them back to allow more swing on the bogie wheels. I am aware of the Rod run on the Left/Nearside of the Loco and the Lubricators . I have scratched a new Rod and parts and Lubricators will be added onto the footplate not hidden under the Boiler as per the Hornby moulding. There is a further rod on the right side part covered next to the cab . Ashpan Lever ? which have also added. I have removed all the wrong Hornby boiler detail and await handrail knobs at mo, I can then finish the detail prior to painting. I will post some pictures when all the detail is added. cheers

HMRS LNER Lining using the thinest line on the sheet . I used parts of the oval curve pieces for the corners.

Why would you want to try and convert a Hornby version ? Bachmann version already has the correct chassis. However you will need to change the Bachmann ROD tender to the GCR type . Graeme King does the resin water filler and some plastikard plus a Tender Wheel from Gibson.
