7mm Mickoo's Commercial Workbench

Lovely Mick,

LNER Tender rigging ?

Ian

Goodness no, the LNER was built by dummies for dummies, much simpler than this mess

 

[Lancastrian]

Something from t'other side o'pond then ?

Nope, Pre grouping UK I'm afraid.

Designed in Victorian era, into service in Edwardian era.

 

[Lancastrian]

Ah, interesting. Stumped then !

Ian

 

[neaston]

What a brilliant piece of 3d design !!

Maybe an Atlantic - looks like an X-4-X and you wouldn't put that trickery under a firebox.

Jim.

 

[SimonT]

What have you been drinking?

 

[mickoo]

Couple more, normally I don't 'play' and render up etches, in this case it saved a couple of bloopers





Now it's beer 'o'clock

Highland Railway Drummond 8 wheel tender? I think the LSWR Drummond water carts had a different brake arrangement but I am not an expert on them.

 

[Dog Star]

How about Midland Railway for compound number 2632?

 

[Phil Harding]

The bogie frame shape, being outside frames, so not Watercart would suggest to me the origin is Urie. Pre grouping would suggest H15 or S15 or N15.
Cheers
Phil.

Good point, my previous post was based on Mickoo's earlier post of the brake rigging only.

A clue might be that I know what it isn't...

I'd guess the same - Johnson Compound 8-wheel 4500 gallon bogie tender.

 

[Yorkshire Dave]

It's all for Schrödinger's 'Katzenartig' class of loco.

It only comes into being when the computer is switched on! Although it may exist at quantum level on a solid state or hard drive.

Give it a nice fresh hot cup of tea and turn it on. Hey presto - an infinite number of brakes and bogies. So much so they exist on their own planet only to succumb to virulent strain of soldering iron wielders.

 

[mickoo]

Graham and Adrian are correct, Midland Region 3 cylinder compound, one will be 2632 I believe. I may opt for 2634 with the flat footplate, mainly to cover both variants in the class.

The front bogie is slightly different at the front end, so a quick test fit there was called for.

Oh dear.....

You should have gone for one of these Midland locos and kill two birds with one stone - bogie tender and US influence...

That's a negative on two counts, I don't get to choose the prototype, the man with the coin does, and if they opted for that.....what ever it is....I'd of declined, sometimes you just have to say no

 

[Dog Star]

Graham and Adrian are correct...

Although I typed the post the suggestion came from my Son, Peter (better known here as @Spike) - surprising given his liking for LLG Blue locos with West Highland White emblems.

regards, Graham

 

[mickoo]

Chassis complete...I think



Addendum, just noticed no guard irons it shall be so, shortly.
