Mick, what is the provenance of that Flat-T model?

Sourced via the Dark Side . No idea if there any left.

LMS / BR 55 Ton Armour Plate wagon in 4mm

I was looking through some of my wagon books last year and saw some photos of the Armour Plate wagons which were initially built for the LMS and the LNER. The BR 55 ton wagon is pretty much identical, there was a 40 ton version as well but that was obviously smaller. As a result I decided to deve...

Ta!

I am pleased to confirm I have finally managed to find a set of the instructions for the 4mm Zenith LNER Q10, mentioned on other post of mine.
Strangely these are for a 4mm kit with seperate etched spacers for OO and EM gauges. The etched kit I have, very luckily has a one piece chassis, a OO gauge version . I thought only a few of these kits were ever made , perhaps more , I doubt if anyone knows?.

Latest builds

Are some 3d printed 4mm LMS Containers with custom decals . I have also built some LMS 3 Plank , Parkside and Slaters wagons for them.

The containers look excellent - what's the source if you don't mind me asking?

After successful use of 100 wooden B-type containers in their network the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) ordered in 1929 as much as 230 steel containers from Metropolitan-Cammell. The order consisted of 175 BL-type, 25 BLS-type (same as BL-type, but internally equipped with shelves for...

MY Q10 is being lined at the moment.

 

[Chas Levin]

Ooh - that's VERY nice... might have to take another look at those designs...

 

[Rob Pulham]

Those bring back memories Mick, I built one of the Ratio NBR cask wagons many moons ago. I also built the etches brass Bill Bedford version of the kit. Which was a bit of a challenge because he didn't supply any instructions at the time.





Did you get the transfers from John Peck? - He produced artwork from some photos that I sent him. I also bought a set scaled up to 7mm because I have a Majestic Models 7mm version of the smaller cask wagon to build at some point.

Rob
HMRS LNER Decals with a lot of cutting up involved !! . I have not seen a Ratio version for sale for years. Mine must be 20 years plus old and had never had decent lettering or (3D Prints) Casks fitted before. It also has had some lead added, as it was feather weight when built.

I never realised Bedford had ever done a kit for one either !!.

 

[Mick LNER]

The Q10 nearly finished, tried it on the track and the Tender was misbehaving derailing etc. I made the mistake of using the kits tiny etched connector which has turned out to be useless. I will add a Hook and Goal Post Bar to the Loco in due course.

 

[Rob Pulham]

Very nice Mick,

I assume that the Q10 was extinct by the time they reused the number on Silver Fox?
