Hi.
Does anyone know what shade of green the Accucraft Bagnall is, please?
I'm going to have to partly dismantle mine, expect to do some , hopefully minor paint damage
and would like to have some touch up paint available beforehand.
Mike

Re: Plans for a couple of loco's
Hi Philip 2 emails sent. Building on a comment above, Microbe is small!! My first attempt at modelling this was just after the drawings were first published. The boiler was going to be a 32mm diameter 'pot' but I lost momentum on the build when I realised first, that the boiler was too low-set on th...

Re: Plans for a couple of loco's
Hi Philip. Statfold do hold the Hudswell Clark drawings, or at least,those that still exist. Give them a call and ask for the Hunslet Archive. They supplied me with 4 Drawings for w/no.1172 Alpha. More directly helpful, years ago, Tom Cooper published an article by Don Townley about Microbe. I have ...

Brandbright CNC supplier
Hello all About three months ago, there was a listing on ebay from the firm in East Anglia or Norwich area that used to supply Brandbright with cnc machined parts. At the time, I traced them down to their own website but have now lost both the web address and the fleabay listing reference. Can anyon...

AFAIK Hunslet only ever made one of this class of loco. Both the solitary example for Knostrop Sewage Works and the designated class name in the catalogue was 'Microbe'. Works number 1028/ May 1910 And if that's bad, the other, later, engine at the works (from Hudswell Clarke) was called 'Bacillus' ...

Hunslet 0-4-0T Microbe drawing
Hi Way back in the mists of time when men were men and dinosaurs walked the land, Don Townsley had an article in Tom Coopers Live Steam Model Railway Review (I think) describing the tiny Hunslet 0-4-0T Microbe supplied to Knostrop sewage works near Leeds. It may have been in Locolines - Tom's mags c...

Injin, that is sublime. Obviously scratchbuilt with true skill. I love the prototype and was lucky enough to see the repatriated example when it was on display at Locomotion at Shildon a few years ago. Hope to see it when it is back in steam, too. However, in terms of Roundhouse production, with ins...

4.8mm - I asked Roger at last year's RH open day. It doesn't matter what frames are being used, if you plan on using the RH 'penguin' bracket, the distance from the centre of the trunnion bearing hole to the top edge of the frame in that region has to be 4.8mm otherwise the penguin will either not f...

Thank you for this thread, Richard. You've inspired me to do likewise. I'd been thinking of the receiver and servo in a van with a shaft coming forward to rotate the regulator but was concerned about loss of control if anything derailed and needing an open upper cab backsheet. The latter doesn't fit...

The simplistic answer is 12% more area, 12% more steam so 12% more water, since the stroke is unchanged. The real world isn't that simple. Bigger piston are means less regulator opening is needed to achieve the same amount of power so reducing the figure of 12%. If your pump performance is marginal,...

Coloured High Temperature paint
Hi I'm looking at Thermacure High Temperature paint as listed on ebay, Item number:150451365544 This is available in 22 colours. I grant some would look pretty unusual on a steam loco but there are a couple of reds, a green and the expected blacks, that look useful. I'm minded to try one to paint th...

To shove my three-ha'porth in, do use the by-pass set up. Full size Avelings use a shut off valve in the suction pipe to control the pump and all the ones I've driven have been absolute pigs. The major problem is always to get the pump to lift again after it's been turned off. The pump has been runn...

Thoughtless modifications
I've spent a chunk of the evening helping my son with his Roundhouse Bertie. He wanted to strip it down to do some work on it. Easy enough if it was as it was when it left Roundhouse. However, it's been professionally improved. Also not a problem judging by the photos I've seen when just completed. ...
