Hunslet 0-4-4-0 “Carnegie” ex-Woolwich Arsenal

Post by **-steves-** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 3:45 pm

I had some 3D printed parts to the above loco. I added a few parts to get it running as the cranks, wheels etc were not there.I built it and never got around to painting it. A good friend of mine offered to do a weathered paint job on it for me and I took up the offer. I got it back today and I have to say I am extremely pleased with the result. I hope some of you like it too. All I have to do now is make a bulkhead and cab interior for it, but you can't tell from the pictures that it's not complete.

I like it a lot Steve, a nicely weathered and tired looking loco, not too heavy on the rust, as might be the case for military equipment.

Thanks Peter, I think he has done a wonderful job of it

I must admit he does like doing military stuff, maybe hence the inspiration.

It turns out there were TWO 2ft gauge versions built and THREE 18 inch! This is w/n 4509 of 1954, built for the Doornkop Sugar Estates in South Africa, now at the Patons County Narrow Gauge Railway in Ixopo, Natal.

I wonder if there were any three foot gauge versions......

You probably could get away with it, inside frames would be needed. I do have access to drawings as well...

It's always interesting to see what parts go missing, what becomes battered, and what gets modified, over a few decades - and more challenging not just to restore to an earlier appearance, but to model in it's later forms..
