Hello,

 

This is my model of a Beames 0-8-0 G2. Its made from a shot-down to 2mm scale Brassmasters etched kit, with a chassis I designed and had etched.

The model is finished in its late 1950s BR Patricroft condition. It was withdrawn in 1962. The chimney and dome are N Brass castings. I think I turned the smokebox door, and soldered on the detail bits before epoxying it as a unit onto the front of the smokebox. One of the challenges with this model was the tender body, especially the flared sides and rear. I had to fabricate, from chunks of brass, very small parts to fill the gap in the rear corners between the sides and the top of the flare. forming the curved flare parts wasn't a doddle either

The loco is powered with a Faulhaber 1219 coreless motor, driving a 30:1 worm gear and 28:1 and 21:1 spur gears. These gears, the wheels and axle muffs are supplied by the Two Millimetre Scale Association. The tender body pivots at a point just behind the motor to transfer some weight onto the back of the loco chassis.
