RMweb Gold 46444 Posted March 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 Reports of out of gauge GWR Manor Class arriving at Leeds this evening are confirmed. Unfortunately there appears to have been numerous incidents involving platforms being damaged in the journey north. At Sheffield, 7804 was piloted onward by LNER D49/2 Hunt Class 2742 'The Braes of Derwent'. 7804 is currently awaiting repairs at Leeds Neville Hill Depot....

RMweb Gold john dew Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2017 As always supershots Robin. How well does your Mogul run? I have two ......the pony truck on one derails on facing points and the other waggles like a duck. I have almost given up on a new model being announced. Now thinking about getting one on the used market. Layout doesn't look right without at least one running regularly Best wishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2017 Apparently my Hattons 14XX has just been despatched (BR lined green version). It's the one without a top feed. Why didn't I check that I needed the one with the top feed before ordering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 14, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2017 As always supershots Robin. How well does your Mogul run? Not brilliant but at least it doesn't derail.Better modellers than me would put a Comet chassis underneath or build the Mitchell/Geen kit.Keep voting for it in the poll and a new one will come eventually. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2017 I changed the pony truck wheels on my Mainline mogul, for some Gibson's, it's not perfect, but it doesn't derail any more. The back to back was nearly a millimetre under size and un-alterable and not exactly round. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2017 This old Bachmann 93xx is a bit like myself.Cruel in close up and seen better days. Get some in lad, get some in. I hope to be 70 next year! The first ex-GWR loco I copped was a mogul. 7331 on the morning Reading - Redhill service crewed by WR staff. 1961. It did not look dirty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob.........I like the idea of upgrading the pony truck in addition to changing the wheels. I googled to find a source without success........could you suggest a possible supplier? Secondly I am embarrassed to confess I am uncertain what wheel size I should order. Useless in Vancouver John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless in Vancouver John I replaced all my mogul and Manor wheels with Kean Maygib - I'm not sure they're still in the market- using the original pony truck/ bogies Because the steel axles are much slimmer than the Bachmann plastic and wobble around in the large space and aren't well controlled by the central plastic lug I put a length of brass tubing in the space as a bearing.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted March 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2017 Looking at all these mogul photos has me seriously thinking about contacting Mr Geen about buying a new chassis for my Mitchell example so that I can convert it to OO.

Useless in Vancouver John Hi John if you are into replacing parts I'd drop a line to Dave Ellis at South East Finecast he will supply front pony truck parts from their Prairie kits for a small fee they are white metal and will aid keeping the wheels down and you can bend and shape them to fit. http://www.sefinecast.co.uk/Contents.htm, your wheel size is 12mm ten spoke see text below for more info'. I replaced all my mogul and Manor wheels with Kean Maygib - I'm not sure they're still in the market- using the original pony truck/ bogies Because the steel axles are much slimmer than the Bachmann plastic and wobble around in the large space and aren't well controlled by the central plastic lug I put a length of brass tubing in the space as a bearing. Mike It's a matter of personal choice with wheels but Romfords were all you had when I started out with serious modelling and stuck with them, I found with these wheels you had to with care drill out the pony truck which was easier than trying to sleeve the axle there was no brass tube in those days I did try Biro innards once when the Maygibs became availible but there was too much wobble also the Romfords compared to the Maygibs are a bit chunkier which increased the weight of the truck overall.
