Mickoo's BR modelling

[dibateg]

When I built my pair of JLTRT Derbys, I thought it was a nonsense that you couldnt get the wheelsets out, so I drilled and pinned them:-



Obvs wont work with your model Mick - but in the future...

For some reason - I have a couple of right hand 25 frames if you need them...

Cheers
Tony

What a spiffingly good idea, I have another unbuilt 25 to do, a 26 and a brace of 47's so will explore that method on those

I'm alright for side frames at the moment.........but duly noted

Mick,
I did a similar trick on all the locos on Aberbig. A strap and pin bonded to the bogie outside casting; a 10BA screw attaches the strap to the top surface of the bogie inner. Two pins to locate the outside correctly. Photos if you want

A little BR blue time this afternoon, I had to get a supplementary sheets done for the Urie S15 so added a rad grill and step blanks (not fitted) for the 25. quick waft with a file and some dabs of solder and the big hole now has a grill.

For some odd reason the boiler vent had been hacked off, not sure what's here on the virgin kit roof or why it was taken off bu a new 3D one was whizzed up and fitted, for the anoraks it has a slotted intake where it meets the hatches right near the centre line, it's a little nick nack but it ticked my boxes.

Mick I think it sticks out a bit more than that. Originally it’s a whitemetal casting on the model, produced to be too large, I cut mine down

Yes, I think you're probably right, bollox.....

I'll see if I can pry it off and shuffle it out a fraction or print a new one with a wider lip and fit. Your shot confirms it pretty much follows the headcode box profile
