well, hasnt it been a bloody long time. most of the people who remember this are probably long gone. so, after 4 years or so of sitting in its box, i finally got round to finishing converting my edrig to coal. only functionally for now. i have a big list of cosmetic things to do to it. I shall make ...

looks top notch!

usual things like 7 1/4
building a bagnall currently


and band stuff

Im afraid i dont, apart form the designer Dave Watkins, whos on here.
or at least used to be on here.

Hello Andy, Did this project ever get finished? I am interested in building the wild rose and it would be great if I could find a build thread on it, are there any other build threads of this loco that I could find here? Thank you for your help, Nicolas Hi Nicolas i never got any further than what ...

if you do find out, it would interesting to know

as far as i know they arent.
P&J was bought by IP Engineering, but they havnt brought them out.
might be worth dropping them an email.

its those dustbins for cylinders they have.
great models.
shame they are gone

Great post chris!

Altho the one with rotary valves looks odd, id love to have seen one going.

Still room for lots of improvement on their newer models i think

lovely!
the garratt train looks smashing

Conrades

Does anybody know what size hole is best to drill in a lubricator?

Andy

Hi andy any more news on the wild rose? I started one a couple of years back as a first build. I got stuck with the cylinders and put it away. would like to see how you get on. Richard Hi Richard Noting since the pics above. I have been concentrating on my coal fired edrig, which i was stuck on and...

yup.
basically edrig, caradoc, ragleth, mortimer use the same chassis and boiler.
leader is its own chassis, and smaller boiler, but uses many of the same parts.

leader going already. shame

And Andy Really mate do not be frightened to build a boiler, if you can do engineering like the stuff you have shown  you can build a boiler you do need a good size torch to get the heat, you get enough heat for the solder to melt , and the copper is good and clean, you can not go far wrong, ive bu...

I ment the saddle tank
but thanks for the info anyway. its all helpful.
