Scale7 JB Workbench.

[Nick Dunhill]

Just seen some photos of a superheater header and pipes you did on one of your models on RM Web. So it's back to the drawing board for me! Will have to do all the hidden pipes now.....

Every day's a school day....

Another wagon has arrived for the 'London Wagon' train.

[Scale7JB]

Not entirely sure why I've bothered with the N7's...

Life's a bit too short at the moment when you really can't see it!

[David Taylor]

Are there only two eccentrics on the crank axle?

 

[Scale7JB]

Hi David, yes it's Walschaerts rather than stephensons, which is a whole lot easier..

JB.

 

[Yorkshire Dave]

Neat work on the Westinghouse .

 

[Scale7JB]

Thanks Dave, yes I was pretty pleased with how they came out..

JB.

 

[David Taylor]

Got it, makes sense now.

 

[Scale7JB]

All other projects are paused at the moment, despite there being quite a few of them.

And so for something a little different. From records I think the last of this diagram was withdrawn in '51, but there needs to be a little modellers licence doesn't there? Its a lovely looking prototype.

Yes it does, and is that the whole kit? Where is the rest of it?

 

[Scale7JB]

Hi Phil, got the whole kit, just chopped those bits out for artistic purposes.

Nice one, I have one of these in the stash so I will pull up a chair

 

[Scale7JB]

No worries Rob,

The kits are usually okay, but the instructions are terrible.

Built a few D&S kits now so should be alright with this one.

Me too, but not any of the coaches. I wholeheartedly agree with you about the instructions.
Thankfully the kit's generally fall together without much effort as long as you have a reasonable photo to work from.

 

[oldravendale]

I've built a few D & S coaches and found the instructions "OK" if not outstanding. These are from my previous (ie 7mm) life to probably incorrectly, but they look nice! match a 4mm original Kitmaster GNR single stripped down and rebuilt as an operating loco by Steph of this parish.

[Rob Pulham]

Very nice Brian and Steph. I would love the 7mm equivalent scene.

 

[Scale7JB]

Brian, I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that the 7mm kits are blowups from 4mm, which may be why they might be a struggle sometimes.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd gladly have one of each kit that he does, and the crane he does is very high on the kit wishlist.
