Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
I've made another hanger this time out of brass rod. Hmmm, I wonder which to go for? The leaf spring and hangers so far are just a trial

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
The pictures are better quality using your digital camera.
I like the brass rod bracket.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
I reckon the flat bar type is more prototypical.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
I like flat one better, but both are equally plausible - you can find prototype for each
p.s. pictures are better as well
Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
I am for the flat brass bar, I don't which is more phenotypical, but (IMHO) it looks the best. Nice job which ever you decide to choose.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
What do you think of this new one? Where larger rod meets flat strip. I think it gets my vote
Best wishes,

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
Yes, I agree Dave. Thicker rod and strip U bracket, gets my vote.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
Thicker one for me, although both are equally brilliant and look great on the springs.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
I've been working on a new spring, with the leaves reduced from 1/4" to 3/16", with a type 3 hanger, and a different eyelet. Getting ready for for production
Best wishes,

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
Superb job Dave.
Better one now they are bent a little. Did you say you are going to blacken them, this blooming memory, they would look even more impressive then.

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
Looking very nice, indeed
What attracted my attention though (and is puzzling me) are four bolts on the axleboxes (inside).
What are these about?

Re: Charles - Penrhyn Mainline Hunslet
Why don't you use hex bolts Dave out of interest?
