Popular Post sir douglas Posted March 10, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2021 with the help o can do the rest fot he ironwork, the side door hinges and latches, the holes int he axleboxes will eventually get filled. Another area i was unsure of was the mounting of the brake lever guide, wether it had a imber backing or not, as you can see that is resolved with the extra vertical added on the right Also noted was that the non door end didnt have the little vertical timbers on the upper half, so they were removed. Also removed were top strapping on both ends. From the start, the chassis was made short to accommodate 2.5mm wood into the full length of the wagon so that the buffer ends look right after painting and look like wood instead of painted plastic 13 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Annie Posted March 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2021 I built two CR opens very similar to your one in P4 back during my 20 somethings. Different and interesting models they were to build too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir douglas Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 i'm amazed at how fast this build has taken, less than 2 weeks. the brake block will probably get weathered as it stands out 9 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 When i got the wheels for the caley, i also got 2 sets of 2ft supposed to be for the Selsey Peckett but i want them for the Moyse. theyve been filled with Milliput and faced off on the lathe The motorization is now being planned, i have an N20 with reduction (the same as on the overtype) and a pair of pulleys to drive to the other axle, though i cant use them now becasue they are too small to drill out for the 1/8th axle. New larger pulleys will be made 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nearly a week later and its almost there, new pulleys were turned down from the centres of 2 nylon gears, some altereations had to be made to the bevel gear frame, i made up my own plunger pick up with 2mm brass rod and coupling springs, then the axle gear had to be shaved down to not foul this rod. a chunk was cut out of the copperclad mounting for the gear which became unnecassary after shaving and only weakened the piece and had to be braced. inside of the chassis had to be cut out to get the motor to fit right, so much that there is now a hole in the footplate and i will need to think of something that looks believable to cover it but there isnt enough room for the usual sized toolbox with the bonnet side handle in the way. The paintwork needed patching up and redoing in some places but i can't find the same gloss grey is used so had to redo the whole thing in another lighter shade. The pickups consist of a copperclad plank screwed to a styrene block, L brackets with 2mm bushes are soldered to either end of this. 8mm lengths of 2mm rod with 1 end rounded sit in these bushes, the other ends are capped to hold the springs, one is brass and the other is nylon to electrically isolate. The overall length of the spring and rods was made to 30mm so it compresses down to the 29 back to bac The motor was going to be in the middle and stick into the bonnet a little bit but had to be pushed aside for the belt, this caused the cutting out and hole shown above. All thats left now is the belt 4 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson044 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 How about a suitably vintage oil can? The hole in the footplate doesn't seem very big? Would add a splash of colour too? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 the total size of the hole is 10x2mm but yeah with a bit of filler at each end i could get away with a large can like a "flimsy" to go between the handles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir douglas Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 i ended up making a smaller metal toolbox instead of my usual wooden one but by being inspred by the discussion i made an oil can to go on the other side, i tried an oily rag but it didnt look right so was chopped off oil can tucked in by the gearobx, its green and white, inspred by castrol I was thinking lately since picking this build back up about the driver's visibility, so if your are propelling wagons, if they anything taller than a 12 ton you wont be able to see over them because of the low footplate and you have to lean out sideways quite a bit to see down the side of them because its narrow, so they must have had somebody helping on the ground or riding on the step 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
