jjnewitt Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Have you considered doing a chassis for the 1/448 Tube wagons? The brakes in particular on the Parkside kit leave a lot to be desired... Yup it's on the list. All measured up and I started the artwork a little while ago. It slipped behind a few other things for various reasons but I want to pick it up again soon. Justin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi all, New 4mm scale items available from Rumney Models which can be had at Scalefour North next weekend... First up of is a kit for the BR 1/801 Fish Vans (kit C.51 - £38). These were the final BR fish van diagram built between 1957 and 1960 and were fitted with the BR clasp brake. Many were later used as parcels vans (SPV). The kit consists of an etched brass chassis and body along with a cast resin roof. Other items include a chassis kit for the standard 17’6” x 10’ wagon underframe fitted with the LNER clasp brake and BR axleguards (kit B.61 - £11). These were fitted to numerous wagon types in the very late LNER and early BR period including 12T vans, Lowfits and 13T steel opens. Dave Bradwell does a very nice kit for the RCH axleguard version so I see no reason to duplicate it. To compliment the LNER clasp brake chassis when used under the LNER/BR 13T steel open is a detailing etch (B.93 - £3). This is to provide new end stanchions to replace those on the end of Parkside bodies making it easier to fit them cleanly onto the Rumney Models chassis. Two profiles are included covering LNER and BR builds and also a drilling jig to make fitting them a doddle. Label boards and LNE style lamp irons also included. There are sufficient parts for 3 wagons. There are also a couple of etches designed to back date the Parkside Dundas BR steel ended wooden open kit (PC02A) to the earlier LMS D.1892 open with wooden sides and ends. These are for the bodywork only and require the sides from Parkside kit PC02A which are not included. There are two variations covering the standard body (kit C.53 - £10) or those where the ends have been reinforced by replacing the bottom two planks with steel channel (kit C53A - £12). The kits include an etched floor, ends and ironwork along with capping strips. Suitable Rumney Models chassis are available (kit B.12 and B.52). With something close to 16500 built over 3 very similar diagrams no BR steam period layout should be without one! Also in S Scale there are two 16T mineral chassis kits available. They are designed to fit the whitemetal Alan Gibson welded type bodies that are available through the S Scale society and are to the standard Rumney Models specification with springing and etched solebars and headstocks included. They are available with either Morton (kit SB.13 - £12) or Independent (kit SB.16 - £14) brakegear. More details and how to order for those not visiting Wakefield next weekend can be found on the Rumney Models website. Looking forward to seeing some of you next weekend, Justin 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 New from Rumney Models are accurate plates for United Dairies & Unigate milk tanks. There are two types of United Dairies plates with different styles of lettering and Unigate plates which include the wagon number on them. All three versions are available in both 4mm scale and 7mm scale. The United Dairies plates could be seen on wagons from the early 50s right through to the end of milk traffic in the 70s though rather less so after the 1959 merger of United Dairies, Aplin & Barrett and Cow & Gate into Unigate. The Unigate plates are suitable for post 1959 milk tanks. Plates have been etched with numbers for almost every Unigate diagram though not in great quantities. Please enquire before ordering if you are after something specific. The price is per pair and they come already painted. The 4mm plates are £2.50 and the 7mm plates £3.50. Also released are wagon coupling hooks to suit my underframes. These are designed to be folded double for a decent thickness and are £1.50 for 7 wagons worth. For more details see the links in the above text or visit the new Rumney Models website. Justin 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjnewitt Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Further to the brief posting on Friday some proper info on the new releases. First up is exciting news about a new range of whitemetal wagon axlebox and spring castings for BR era prototypes. They have been produced from the highest quality masters printed for me by Alan Butler at Modelu. The first wave of releases contains 6 different types of axleboxes with both oil and roller bearings types and six types of springs. There are four types of oil axlebox, all for 12/16T prototypes all of which are available with either 5, 6 or LMS 7 leaf J hanger springs. The axleboxes come attached to the springs for ease of fitting and are already slotted for use with sprung suspension systems. There are hooded and non-hooded types of roller bearing that are available with 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 leaf springs. The price is £2.50 for a set of four axleboxes and springs. Further information including product codes can be found on the wagon castings page of my website. To complete the castings part of the new releases whitemetal vacuum cylinder castings are also available. These have been produced from masters made for me by the talented Morgan Gilbert and make use of etched brackets. There are 18” (F.01) and 21” (F.02) types that are available in packs of three for £6. The 21” cylinders are also available singularly with etched brackets for fitting to the end of hopper wagons (F.02A - £2). There is a new underframe for the BR 1/448 clasp brake Tube wagons (B.54 - £15) and buffer springing mechanisms to suit my 9” (B.93A - £4.50) and 10” (B.93B - £3) underframes. These provide guitar wire springing for buffers in place of conventional coil springs. There are also three types of detailing etch for the Bachmann Bogie Bolster C / Macaw B: C.05 (£16.50) is an etch that provides detailing and new trussing using brass angle along the same sort of lines as my Bogie Bolster E etch for the Lima model. The brass angle is included (though the etch is available on its own without the angle for £10.50). Full brakegear is included and there are options for GWR D/C brakes, unfitted lever brakes and the two arrangements of vacuum fitted lever brakes. Detailing parts for the solebar and headstock along with bolster shackles are also included. For those that don’t wish to replace the trussing on the Bachmann model there are two sets of levers and vees etches to provide new brakegear and body detailing. Both etches include sufficient parts for two wagons. C.05A (£9) is for lever brakegear and provides options to build either two unfitted or one fitted and one vacuum braked wagon and C.05B (£6) covers the GWR D/C brake wagons. Last but not certainly not least is a loco chassis for the LNER F/4/5/6 family (X.01 - £32). This is a set of commissioned etches that I am delighted to make available to a wider audience via Rumney Models. It is designed to provide a modern CSB fitted chassis for the Alan Gibson body and incorporates sprung trucks that make use of the CSB wires along with full brakegear, balance weights, ashpan sides, etc. Full details can be found on my Hosted Products page. Futher details on all products can be found on the Rumney Models website. Justin 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Have you thought about doing a etch to add onto the Bachmann bogie bolster wagon for the steel top to the bolsters instead of the all wood ones fitted? A simple fold up etch with holes that match the original spacing for the stanchions would be useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple fold up etch with holes that match the original spacing for the stanchions would be useful. I have plans to do some of the later type bolsters constructed from steel channel with a wooden top for the Cs. These almost certainly be resin castings from high quality 3D prints possibly with a couple of etched bits thrown in to make life eaiser when I cast them. I have the artwork already: These would need the wooden bolster on a Bachmann C to be removed to fit though. I'm not aware of any bolsters for the Cs with steel tops, have you got any pictures?

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted September 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2016 WIBBLE! I was very restrained, indeed, advised by Justin to be so, so as not to deplete him of his entire stock on saturday, and leave a modicum of delights for yourself. It was made worthwhile to sit and watch your face light up as you made your purchases on sunday. Enjoy them, I am awaiting a bulk order from the next batch!

Justin Unfortunately Justin I haven't got any photos of all steel bolsters, but I did take some shots of a Vac braked BCV that was at the Bulmer Railway Centre for a short while in 1993. I have reproduced them below in case they might be of use to anyone contemplating modifying theirs using your kits. Also here is another shot of a BCW in Hereford Yard, but unfortunately you can't see the full bolster.

I took lots of detail shots when I measured up the bolsters but neglected to take any overal views! I like the picture at Hereford with the Strip Coils and Slab Coils in. Great stuff! If anyone finds a picture of the all steel bolsters I'd love to have a look as I haven't come across them before. Justin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjnewitt Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 New Items March 2017 With Scalefour North looming large Rumney Models is pleased to announce another round of new releases. Below is a round up of the new items. Links to the various products on my website can be found via the Latest Releases page. As per usual instructions for certain items are currently being prepared. One day I’ll have them all done before release time comes around but not this year. So to the exciting stuff… First up are some more additions to my range of whitemetal wagon axlebox and spring castings. Once again they have been produced from the highest quality masters printed for me by Alan Butler at Modelu. The new types cover BR brake van springs along with 7 leaf springs and heavy duty axleboxes for 20/21T wagons. The BR brake van springs are available with BR 2 part, BR Platefront, roller bearing and LNER welded axleboxes. These are also suitable for late build LNER brake vans. The 7 leaf springs come with BR 2 part, BR 2 part square, welded with horizontal lugs, welded with vertical lugs and RCH 2 part axleboxes. The axleboxes on the 7 leaf springs are based correctly on 10” x 5” journal prototypes. In all cases the axleboxes comes attached to the springs for ease of fitting and are slotted on the back for use with sprung suspension systems. The price is £2.50 for a set of four axleboxes and springs. The next couple of releases mark a foray into the wonderful world of oil tank wagons. There is a new completely open underframe for the Bachmann anchor mount tank wagons (B.71 - £15) which also includes a choice of ladders and an etched valve wheel for detailing the body. This is specifically a 14T underframe with BR axleguards and includes everything you would expect from a Rumney Models release. For those who feel like tarting up the Bachmann anchor mount tank without going to the extent of replacing the underframe there is a detailing kit (B.106 - £4) which includes ladders and valve wheel along with brake levers and lever guards. The detailing kit is sufficient for 2 wagons. Note that you do not need the detailing etch if you buy the underframe and it is my intention to do something similar for earlier cradle and saddle mounted tank wagons in the near future. There is also a new underframe for the BR built 13T china clay opens (B.30 - £10). These are intended for the Ratio kit but will also suit the Bachmann body. To complement the underframe and make fettling the ratio body easier there are replacement end stanchions (B.107 - £3). This will provide sufficient stanchions for 6 wagons. There are a couple of other small detailing etches. These cover BR built Shocopens (B.104 - £2) which includes capping and strapping strips along with label boards and lamp irons and the Ratio LMS van (B.105 - £1) which provides the diagonal strapping found on these wagons in BR days along with label boards and lamp irons. There is also a general wagon detailing fret (B.108 - £3). This has been made available due to several requests and includes all the little detailing parts that can be found on Rumney Models underframes such as number plates, lamp irons, swan neck vacuum pipe brackets and label boards for adding to RTR and kit wagons. There are enough parts to cover 3 or 4 wagons on the fret. Note that you do not need this fret if you are building wagons with Rumney Models underframes as the parts are already included. Lastly are some new items in 7mm scale. My BR tarpaulin bar fret (OB.92 - £7) has been reworked for the larger scale. As per the 4mm version there are sufficient parts for two wagons and both early and late types are covered. A pair of etched Grampus baskets (OB.109 - £9) is available to replace those in the Parkside kit. These will be coming in 4mm in due course. Also there is a detailing fret for wagons fitted with RCH 12’ lifting link brakegear (OB.110 - £12). This includes replacement brakegear, vees, brake levers and lever guards as well as items such as 21T hopper door handles and end steps along with 21T mineral wagon door springs. It is intended to detail the Parkside BR 21T hopper and Grampus kits but can be used on others. Finally a detailing etch covering vacuum brakegear parts for BR 21T hoppers (OB.111 - £2). This provides items such as vees for the vacuum cylinder cross shaft and links as well as vacuum cylinder brackets for turning the Parkside 21T welded hopper into a vacuum braked example. Finally, a note that I have created a Future Plans page on my website. This list items which, for one reason or another, I have decided to make available only once there is sufficient interest in them. If there is anything on there that you would like to see available then please let me know. Also note that these are all items for which the development work has been completed to my satisfaction, once there is enough interest they will go into production. Also note that I don’t intend to market everything in this way, just items that I am unsure will cover the costs of bringing them to the market. I look forward to catching up some of you in Wakefield next weekend. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the revised test etch and the castings to sort out. I'm finding myself pretty short of time at the moment and sorting out the Shochood B is a big job compared with other things that have been in the pipeline. Ummm Justin, your post 93, where are the discharge pipes? The discharge pipes are in a little bag waiting for the chassis to be painted!
