source of coarse scale O gauge wheels
sej replied to sej's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Thanks Gordon, I'll take a look! -
Hi I'm presently refurbishing a rather beautiful and very old scratch-built O gauge GWR 4-4-0 loco for the widow of the builder. The prototype had 6'8" ish wheels and I could go for Slaters as it needs a new (non-running chassis) but I believe a set of coarse scale wheels would be a much better fit. Does anyone know of a source of something that might do? Cheers Simon

Very positive news, both in the matter of Steve's health and his renewed motivation, good to hear!
-
Thanks for that Tim, I've always wondered how to exactly position drills into pre-existing holes...and there you go! Cheers Simon
-
Thanks very much for your help Alex, I'll take a look at those! Cheers Simon

I want to source a Hornby 8F chassis to complete a Golden Arrow Urie G16 and I've forgotten how to identify the Chinese built version which is specified in the instructions. Can anyone help with catalogue numbers etc? Cheers Simon

Hull & Barnsley H1 2-4-0 Scratch-build
sej replied to Davey's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Hi Davey; progress always seems to go slowly for me too...here's something I've been finishing off which will leave the way open for my H1, which I think I'll definately scratch-build on hearing of your fun with the kit and I look forward to further updates from you! Cheers Simon -

I'm not sure Dave, 1mm? Thanks for the advice; where do you get your engraving brass from? Cheers Simon -
Ruston's Victorian Industrial locomotive scratchbuilds
sej replied to Ruston's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Thanks Dave, that's great. I've recently been allowed to play on a pantograph engraved and can agree that making a video would definately require another pair of hands! Here's the result. The frames are for a 4mm Hull and Barnsley 0-4-2 H1 tender loco. We used some rather ordinary brass sheet which did result in breaking a cutter, partly due to my inexperience. Do you always use hard cartridge brass? Cheers Simon -

Design and build of a new model loco
sej replied to spikey's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Fantastic! -
Excellent, thankyou. I'll enquire about the Adam's Radial with a bit of LMS/BR whistle! Regards Simon
-
Thanks David; so...Midland Compound or Adam's Radial...I was wondering about the sound of the whistle...is there a 2 cylinder standard BR tank engine that might do? Cheers Simon
-
Thanks cypherman, a Midland compound could be just the thing! Does the compound bit make it sound at all different? Cheers Simon

Hi; For my scratch-built 7mm 4-4-2 LTSR Tilbury tank I'd like to add DCC sound. Other than revving up "Thundersley" at Bressingham I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for something that might sound like one? They had a pair of outside cylinders and were apparently originally designed by Mr Adams of the LSWR, so an Adam's Radial might do? The LMS and BR fiddled and tinkered with them; mine is to be in BR ownership with an extended smokebox and possibly LMS/BR whistle so perhaps a more modern tank loco? Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers Simon
