the dartcasting kit has the vents and hinges

work so far

thanks thats very helpful mark

hi ive built a dartcastings /falcon brass 6 wheeled cct but have no info on running numbers or weight limits ect done a search but cant even find a picture of one real or model anyone point me in the right direction thanks mark

more or less finished this for someone just the reversing rod to do

i really can understand your name now so fitting

wheels removed as i wish to keep them myself as for the price its in the ball park of what others have sold for on ebay before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262329243879?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

The wheels have been removed as im not going to let the kit go for any less than that and I can use them for my other builds but I'll leave you to think your oh so important as I guess it makes you feel good Maybe if some of you spent more time modelling than trawling ebay for things you don't want you may be happier

And maybe not

Maybe the seller has a sense of humour like yourself

More on the build in the kit scratch building section under gwr siphon 01

just knocked this up on mine

a saint is the one gwr loco that we really need a good kit for. mark

heres a bit of background. The loco is in russells gwr engines vol 2 page 100-103. there are a few drawings and some photos What i did was take a few measurments from both the drawing and the donnor loco. One thing that showed up early was the wheel base was wrong so i needed to slightly ajust the rear end. I drew the crane parts first splitting the top and bottom crossbracing into 4 parts so the bottom could be trimed to size. this is the drawing for the crane parts as you can see i have a few extra bits just in case but also I was cutting on 20tho plastic card which i can only scored. Several parts are also laminated together to get the correct thickness. The large balance weight is a childs bead. Next I sorted the cab and chassis about 10mm had to be cut off the rear and then i drilled a hole down through the chassis to keep the rear end fixed The rear bogie is very simple and just hanging from the floor as there is no real weight in the rear end (also there are to fixes if neede 1 would be to add weight to the front the other is to add a spring to the mounting bolt Hope this has answered a few questions crane parts no 17.studio3 the main crane parts crane parts cab ect.studio3 the cab bits feel free to have ago and let me know what you think thanks mark
