I quite like the look of this too. Think I might do something similar on one of my chassis and see how it turns out, always like a good challenge, lol. Looking forward to seeing it when you have finished your detailing.

Is that how you are sending the chassis out Steve, or have I been :withstupid:..... :lol: :lol: The chassis will go out without buffer beams or foot plates, those ones will go out as full locos with radio gear and everything. There is a good picture of an 0-6-0 earlier in this thread that shows as ...

Well yet some more time in the shed, these things are definitely breeding. A couple more people from our club are after a fully built loco and I thought it's about time that I built myself one. I will post some more pictures as time goes on :thumbup: http://www.pictures.strickson.com/_data/i/upload/...

I wouldn't mind having a go at knocking up an 0-6-0 chassis and body for one of these if i had those drawings Well done

Are you surprised about taking orders mate. I'am not, it's a great model you have made. :thumbright: :thumbright: You never know.."This time next year, you could be a millionaire".... :lol: :lol: I built and sold 2 more loco's as I mentioned above. They showed them to a couple of people a...

I also use Vallejo acrylics and get on very very well with them for airbrushing.

That's great Steve, if you could put me on your waiting list for an 0-6-0. I've sent you a PM with my personal details. Sorry, I read my PM before this, lol. Is that an 0-6-0 with Jack shaft? They come in a fixed length if it's an 0-6-0 with the jack shaft, otherwise without I have some scope to ch...

I must admit my recovery loco I built used 2 GRS based chassis (before I started making my own) and I added a heap of steel underneath it. From memory I think it came out over 12lbs! (5.6KG) :shock: 12lbs, I'd have to strenghten my track beds, the Comfrey and Geranium only has a Light Railway licen...

That can happen if you like and quite soon. Would you prefer an 0-4-0 or an 0-6-0 with Jack shaft to start with?

Steve

I love the build thread at the end of the video, really great work and very interesting to see, well done

As always Rik, a lovely project which you have done full justice to, very neat

Hi Steve there would of course be no advantage in driving from the jack shaft it was just a thought. On one of the threads someone is asking for recommendations on a battery loco to use to rescue stranded steamers (pprobably with train). Would your locos be up to that sort of job, obviously with su...

Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could make plastic look like wood like that, fantastic work and for a first attempt even more mind blowing

Or build ones of these, lol

Nice work on those chassis. Were you ever tempted to connect the motor to the jackshaft and drive from there? I looked back to see more and found your little tool to hold the axles for millinfg the end flats. So obvious once you see it like most great ideas. Don Thanks Don My initial thought was to...

Thanks for the replies. The Boulton is now off the list, I love my old SL1s and my Brunel, but build quality these days is just so variable, come on Mamod I really want to like you. An NDM6 would be perfect, but beyond the budget I had in mind, anything spent on battery locos can't be spent on a st...

They seem to be multiplying, time to get out and sell some, lol, roll on the next 16mm meting :thumbup: http://www.pictures.strickson.com/_data/i/upload/2019/09/03/20190903122452-96fb2df9-me.jpg http://www.pictures.strickson.com/_data/i/upload/2019/09/03/20190903122453-2e62bc22-me.jpg http://www.pic...

WOW, that's some time you gave it to dry, lol

I had a similar thing with some resin moulds I made once, they never did dry, lol

Where do you get the boxes, on off switches and 10k variable resistors with detents in them? Struggling to find anything suitable from the UK
