Left hand side looks like you could fit a Roundhouse type gas tank?

Your live diesel is huge, I love it!

[FWLR]

I will be emailing you Dave for the pdf plans. Have you updated them also.

I love the clatter, it sounds brilliant. You would think it was a Diesel.

Would it be able to run 32mm.

That's it Tom, that's what I'm thinking

It is, I'm looking forward to seeing the Hunslet alongside it

Hi Rod, they aren't my plans but LBSC's from the 1930's which I used for the outline and the general layout - he used a gramophone worm and gear. The original was a 32mm gauge - standard gauge loco. Mine could be re-gauged to be 32mm

Morning Dave, or is it afternoon.

Just sent an email to you mate. Thats great for 32mm both ways…

I was just having a look under the loco to see if there was any space

It’s so confusing Dave. On the forum it shows, Fri Nov 02, 2018 8:56 pm. I posted my reply to you at,Fri Nov 02, 2018 7:54 am…Only 1 hour difference mate…

You are 24 hours in front of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere aren’t you…?


Anyway back to your loco. Are you thinking of R/C Dave. It looks a bit tight under there. But I’am sure ge_rik could help with that. Or may be your quite capable yourself.

[tom_tom_go]

The front looks like your best bet but you might have to make your own tank unless an Accucraft one might fit?

[dewintondave]

Rod, we are 13 hours ahead now.

No R/C for this loco

Here's the original gas tank, a converted steam boiler. It could be put inside a tank wagon.

This afternoon I rearranged the gas valve to make it more compact. The dome on the top where the gas is drawn off

That looks better Dave, why do you need such a large gas tank though?

[dewintondave]

It was a pleasurable repurposing of the boiler Tom. And it works well with not getting too cold with the gas expansion due to its size

Thanks Dave for putting me straight.

So what are your plans for underneath, if any mate.

[dewintondave]

No plans Rod, It's pretty full under there.

HI Dave I,m very impressed with your building work and your clever idea's as a newbie to steam loco's I am finding bit interesting seeing idea's put into practice

Well done
