RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I was alerted to these by their creator over on NGRM last year and bought some to try out. As the kit pile diminishes with all this modelling time these reached the top! Dave’s shop on Shapeways has more too I made life harder by choosing the cheap versatile plastic! They needed a lot of careful sanding, filling and painting. I eventually got there though Well good enough for me. They fit the Kato 11-105 chassis, this is where I’ve got to.

Would they be flat sided? I wonder if I could do a side on the Silhouette cutter. Edited June 14, 2020 by roundhouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2020 They have a slight tumble home on the lower body side but you could roll that in and then make a master from it. I’ll have a play with the drawings tomorrow and see what they look like size wise 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2020 Transfers arrived from Railtec fast as usual. I couldn’t get the outline 125 in 2mm so used 4mm coach branding and a shorter branding. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’ve made up two little ‘sleds’ to hold the LED’s in the HST as they are in a tight space. The positions were marked onto the front beam and slots cut to take the wires so they sit flat. Aligning them should be fun so I’ll light them up to do that and add some tiny foam strips to reduce light bleed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 27, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2020 Decoders and lights in and now to sort out the light bleed and glaze them. The camera has whited out the red but it looks good in reality. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Watched the Titfield Thunderbolt again recently and it started me thinking of a little 7/8ths project. Didn’t really like disc wheels on a roller . . so here’s before & after, a few details left to do with reg plates ordered. wheels off the traction engine and flywheel off the steam lorry. Chimney cap and hose off the t’internet. Edited April 14, 2022 by PaulRhB 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 7, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) At a friends garden we noted last summer that we really needed a proper way to carry the tea to the summer house at the far end of the garden. So I took it upon myself to tackle the IPengineering 16mm Darjeeling tea van and made a few minor mods so the roof can be removed to get the tea out! The roof was double laminated with three ribs underneath and covered with tissue for canvas. The brake angle crank was added in the bufferbeam and I added the hinges and door lock using some of the spare brackets supplied.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 16, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Tomytec do this little Nekoya line mini as a four wheeler you can motorise with a separate chassis pack. I liked the bodyshell but decided it would look better as a bobo so I got the larger ED02 chassis instead. It fitted with a tiny bit of trimming of the mounting points and a new spacer that sat on top of the chassis. snug is the term. So I tested it out and it’s quite happy down to 9” radius with wire added to the link & pin couplers to work with loop couplings once they’re trimmed back a bit.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 26, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I started out with the Tomytec Nekoya streetcar but I wasn’t that keen on the colour. I felt something inspired by the New Orleans cars might look good. Tomytec models are sold as static with optional chassis to motorise them. The chassis they’re designed to fit hasn’t been in stock for a while so I went with the ED02 which has larger wheels that I think actually look better. Some chopping out of the mounting sun chassis was required to get them in. They come apart to make painting easier. lining the ends was ‘fun’ with fine 2mm lining from Railtec as it’s difficult to get it straight amongst the details. Fortunately the excellent transfers stood up to my faffing around. The nearly finished results. Still a few tweaks on fit due to painting to fettle.
