Miss Prism 12,169 Posted February 28, 2021 Jim - I think you probably need a tall safety valve cover in your graphic. Link to comment
JimC 2,753 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Its worked up from a weight diagram in Russell that shows a short one, but as you know that means very little. I suppose I should do a photograph hunt. I've heard folk say of modelmakers that its as easy to make things correct as wrong. I wish! One of the reasons I call my sketches sketches even though they are to scale and incorporate as many dimensions as are readily available to me is that it implies no guarantees that I have everything correct.

roger the bodger 20 Posted February 24, 2022 o.k. , I know we are in 2022 , but I have no interest in dcc , most of my stuff is 30 plus years old , i don't count rivets , and I love the fact that most XO4 motors will see out my lifetime , . personally I was dead chuffed with how this came out , a broken Triang Jinty , a cheap Airfix Prairie kit and a set of plates from Narrow Planet , total cost including postage was around £10 . cheers , Roger Link to comment
JimC 2,753 Posted February 25, 2022 Its got a nice feel to it. I've been mulling over using an old Triang 2721 chassis for something on the same lines Its a pity Triang chose a prototype with such a long wheelbase. I'm not entirely sure about the caption though! Link to comment
