96RAF Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 KenWatching you manhandle both the tender and loco to top them up just shows how robust these live steamers have to be compared to the kid-glove treatment required by the much more fragile electric plastic models.Doesn’t it look good at main line speeds. This is where live steamers can show off their paces. You must be real proud of this one.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowest Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 RAF 96lt has turned out better than I thought it might you just don't really know how its going to go till the end I think I've been lucky up to now that they turn out ok it looks like a good little engine but grandads old GER S69 still takes some beating in fact I have just run it and it's still going well as I am working my way through my engines to check them out as it looks like I'm off to the Ilfracombe model railway show this year I think With my engines. So there will be hot bits and wet patch and funny smells in the room and that's just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowest Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 2e0I did see that myself on the video and as I’m not very good up ladders chose to ignore it but as you and many others no doubt have seen it I got the ladders out and with a feather duster am getting it down but after all this is a web sight?Ken/media/tinymce_upload/307734fea31b9b6a119250830755f2fd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowest Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Just looking through the pages of the L N engine and having problems with the front steps I see that the Hornby model of King Aurther that I have has no front steps ether ? Did Hornby find that these would be better left off the model to make sure no one would have any problems.i post the picture of the King Aurther class again here did any one spot this./media/tinymce_upload/addbaede9af3e432b4aa9102230307e6.jpgKen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 You can clearly see the problem from your picture on page 1 of this thread Ken /media/tinymce_upload/14ace0f35e805db1bb2810433dfc97dd.jpg Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowest Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 RAF when applying the transfers I found that there were only 6 step transfers on the sheet when the engine needs 8 so fox transfers sent me some extra ones and was going to amend the sheet but pointed out no one has pointed this out before. In the picture as you point out there is a step but has any model ever been built with all the steps in place?ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowest Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 This is a Bachmann model a this engine has no front steps so it looks like with the leading wheels being right behind the front step when making a turn the steps if fitted will derail the wheels one way round this would be to fix the steps to the bogie frames and not the main body so would look ok as a model so might carry out the change.

96RAF Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The Hornby model is much the same Ken /media/tinymce_upload/754706d27cb5700777c32c5f7cf4967e.JPGRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
