It is one of the world's last steam tramways and is said to be the oldest continuously operated steam tramway in regular operation. <br /><br />It has worked out as a very compact model, and as such, I have ended up adding the couplings to the buffer plates and not using the Peco coupling pockets which I would normally use. It is a superb running model and I think my favorite tram from my ever-growing collection.

Under the footplate I used a Peco wagon frame split in half to extend the wheelbase and some etched brass mesh to form side guards to the chassis. The foot plate being of metal gives it enough weight. Because of using the Peco wagon frame, I was able to fix Peco NEM pockets and couplings directly under the footplate.

All of the moulded buffers were removed leaving clean square ends to butt together and glue with liquid polystyrene cement. This was done, top down on a flat non plastic surface.

This coach frame was to have running boards fitted at the height of the axle boxes so details like the baking gear would not be seen.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The central wheels are flangeless, a simple solution and while fiddly to create is an idea that has been used for a long time by manufacturers. These N gauge wheels are so small it is very hard to see if they have flanges or not. I did the removal with a sharp scalpel, carefully scoring around the wheel rim several times until the flange ring popped off. When on the track it looks as any six-wheeler would but has the simple ability to negotiate tight radius curves like any four wheel chassis.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgau-6pLzxGnikUODetEgoIKrQiEwd1wmX_EURFVSYGr8TKCwzEcK74AnKvnXE0AKtQzwUY1hB0md774IbTBO2Qt1lG9ov5jha5U84kCvSs0pjizxobsED1GygSIRjW3EUNUSEk6hoNHI_ZW79XKVF1ho5FPH6XqMDTECSo8OTKnz5Tzfy8LSyis2i4sg/s3041/Wheel%201.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgau-6pLzxGnikUODetEgoIKrQiEwd1wmX_EURFVSYGr8TKCwzEcK74AnKvnXE0AKtQzwUY1hB0md774IbTBO2Qt1lG9ov5jha5U84kCvSs0pjizxobsED1GygSIRjW3EUNUSEk6hoNHI_ZW79XKVF1ho5FPH6XqMDTECSo8OTKnz5Tzfy8LSyis2i4sg/w400-h341/Wheel%201.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The core of the coach body is formed in 3mm balsa wood, this includes the base and compartment divisions. These are cut and shaped to a template, so they are all the same section. They are then glued to the base at 90º to line up with the coach sides window frames. On the compartment, third coach the thickness at the edges was reduced on both sides to allow for the thinner window frame sections. The coach ends are cut and shaped from 1mm Plasticard again using a template to get them all the same. The plank effect is scribed (not cut) into the surface with a sharp pointed Vee, using the back of a knife blade, then clean off with wet and dry paper to get rid of the burs.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlqd1AsXLiOqGFjR-OItPIVg7RNuFOo9OFzVaDKV43a3V00DCmePys9twLmsQCNpH4F_QspYE1_OIy8heXB4bniAPLCkkLUL3ZUbwvgFtggbCQOrOYfmtyRZ5sAsjBkFE0fhvEnlyu-RjuON1z4E9v9wCXfrp-rIv34MU8ahQhq_MWiHnW95G4-sQqyg/s2161/coach%20body%201.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlqd1AsXLiOqGFjR-OItPIVg7RNuFOo9OFzVaDKV43a3V00DCmePys9twLmsQCNpH4F_QspYE1_OIy8heXB4bniAPLCkkLUL3ZUbwvgFtggbCQOrOYfmtyRZ5sAsjBkFE0fhvEnlyu-RjuON1z4E9v9wCXfrp-rIv34MU8ahQhq_MWiHnW95G4-sQqyg/w400-h343/coach%20body%201.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">To form the roofs, I have used a cold moulding method with brown gum paper tape, not the reinforced type but the artist's type which comes on a very long roll and is 50mm wide. The former for the roofs is the spray primer can which I later used to prime the model, so nothing special. It is just the right length and curve for the job. The first of 5 layers are stuck in place on the can with masking tape at each end gum side up, lining this up carefully is important to make sure the roof is not twisted. The next layers are all added to this gum side down, dipping in a shallow tray of water to activate the gum. These are cut smaller than the first layer, so they do not cover the masking tape and make it easier to remove when dry. The roof should be left to dry fully usually overnight will be fine. They can now be cut to size to suit the coach body they are to be used on.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkr6ooN4Qnisx_NZPxUVnu-iRMfzERwxJfAceyG48nJDIeGbCEkfYrfhmcF83P-rfYHlMWEcIw2vftCUIRbGCAtDrV0-BkMKb1jnPm6W4W-OvhKatJo_H-O_OItvv120-HNSk3u3DVRSNvXcoo6cuEWipAbxMogDqqvp13v3dA3rGfTzowUsLWPOIeyg/s5449/coach%20roof%204.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkr6ooN4Qnisx_NZPxUVnu-iRMfzERwxJfAceyG48nJDIeGbCEkfYrfhmcF83P-rfYHlMWEcIw2vftCUIRbGCAtDrV0-BkMKb1jnPm6W4W-OvhKatJo_H-O_OItvv120-HNSk3u3DVRSNvXcoo6cuEWipAbxMogDqqvp13v3dA3rGfTzowUsLWPOIeyg/w640-h310/coach%20roof%204.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The roof is located with some small strips of balsa wood at each corner, the rain gutters are made from strips of Plasticard bent and fixed with contact adhesive, and the roof vents are a set from Dundas Models.

After this a set of running boards were added, one on the bogie first coach, two high on the compartment third coach, and steps only at the doors on the brake/mail coach. This gives a good idea of what the various styles look like. To strengthen the lower boards on the compartment third coach, I used some small wire brackets bent at 90º and fitted into holes drilled in the bottom of the upper running boards when fixed to the coach. The lower boards were glued to these and the axle boxes, which has been a good stable platform.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38fL6XORZv4xJBNIcVf1tHd3glVp-7M7Vqmkp3R-aVBdFSaEwFk6kc0kmeQdeF8QmfqNtAJ9oFgyi89nVU6AAmSzAnrQMbFjTLKKQ9RIQPFlycgUzFXh2QlCwxjN2SZsyWAf4d1OEq_8EfODcJCOs8puymMds5uXY7UM2dq4w_lRQewEYXetwnm9_tw/s3249/coach2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38fL6XORZv4xJBNIcVf1tHd3glVp-7M7Vqmkp3R-aVBdFSaEwFk6kc0kmeQdeF8QmfqNtAJ9oFgyi89nVU6AAmSzAnrQMbFjTLKKQ9RIQPFlycgUzFXh2QlCwxjN2SZsyWAf4d1OEq_8EfODcJCOs8puymMds5uXY7UM2dq4w_lRQewEYXetwnm9_tw/w640-h480/coach2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Next, I added Peco NEM coupling pockets to the coaches, these can sit directly in front of the N gauge coupling mouldings, you will need to open the mouldings out to allow the new pockets to be fitted in the correct positions on the chassis, also a small amount of the pocket mould will need to be trimmed back.

I picked the Beyer Peacock 2-4-0T as it worked well with the motor, gears, and wheels I had selected for the job. Over time and several versions of the model it evolved and I got one to work with a Halling motor bogie as a temporary chassis. This was taken to a meeting at the Oldham 009 group in November 2021 where it ran on Paul Titmuss’ 00n3 layout Wood Brook.</p><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfd-oJX6P9c4LzG-YeddTOs5rjL9BU8gqEaRmWQF90htYhp4TwcO11bZl27WOrdvNq8gNgkw_8-4RYwHNTtv3eMCTIG1L9VIwjQJO9z914cpf8qDQJAo-IyM0UUXxFI-n2Nsarxpp9p9sg-WHqBM-f08Da4PXkqTf6V8jbstkhcjF7Y6-AUtsbc2zPw/s447/00n3%20VB%20&%20C%20Crest.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfd-oJX6P9c4LzG-YeddTOs5rjL9BU8gqEaRmWQF90htYhp4TwcO11bZl27WOrdvNq8gNgkw_8-4RYwHNTtv3eMCTIG1L9VIwjQJO9z914cpf8qDQJAo-IyM0UUXxFI-n2Nsarxpp9p9sg-WHqBM-f08Da4PXkqTf6V8jbstkhcjF7Y6-AUtsbc2zPw/s320/00n3%20VB%20&%20C%20Crest.jpg" /></a><br /><br />It was suggested that it would be a good idea to work up a copy of the Castlederg and Victoria Bridge Tramway Beyer Peacock 2-4-0T but with motion covers and frames on both sides to allow the use of the Halling chassis. With a lot of help from Paul and the 00n3 group, a 3D model was drafted based on the original and confirmed as looking correct. The idea behind this model is to offer to modellers a tempting introduction to the 00n3 gauge.<br /><br />This also turned into a challenge for a friend who runs a small 3D printing business Thingymaker to see if he could produce a print to compete with Shapeways. This is a challenge that has for several years eluded him. I had a pair of prints produced by Thingymaker and Shapeways. These were both in acrylic resin but using two different processes, so they are not exactly alike, but the level of detail is good and sharp on both prints. Both do take a bit of preparation to make ready for finishing in different ways.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2mGqq5eNp_ndzzcbeAG72HuP9mH-oYM_hb_wLNOMGJyX2Tn0qe7sKiCd4horM273lEw2Q9kJQf6abUM_q_ztRTT7C9goy_ZrJNTclJifHsfCz_kXu6QFDNMKxQdgHdTaymqk-nj2V6aAOKF8IA5KPSr2cTi-oNFWqZNcl2bG8MtvLM2aNwPMcI2EBA/s2843/BP%20prints%20Thingymaker%201.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2mGqq5eNp_ndzzcbeAG72HuP9mH-oYM_hb_wLNOMGJyX2Tn0qe7sKiCd4horM273lEw2Q9kJQf6abUM_q_ztRTT7C9goy_ZrJNTclJifHsfCz_kXu6QFDNMKxQdgHdTaymqk-nj2V6aAOKF8IA5KPSr2cTi-oNFWqZNcl2bG8MtvLM2aNwPMcI2EBA/w640-h406/BP%20prints%20Thingymaker%201.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />The Shapeways print in Fine Detailed Plastic, as usual, needs the wax support residue removed and a fair bit of surface residue removed from some of the print faces before priming and adding details. But this is as we expect form this material. The Thingymaker print is supported on sprues and they are tightly packed inside the print, so a bit of careful removing is needed to avoid breaking anything off the model. There is also some work to do on the internal surfaces of the print to remove some areas where the resin domes as it finishes printing, a bit like surface tension on a liquid surface. This is a little bit fiddly on some of the smaller parts but not insurmountable<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTaus8ZCfISOH9XjZW9Q7OK2I47i6vMDO_ZYwLE9sdj4HJ2eczP8PlBGdp1luaH8uc2OYAC64SV_ncyI03aLWReMuwbxOoHKmV4cMLTwGroTuEqvusGTZHUjOShA6Z3LMsCXj0MqAWRdrQlGPAZqb8V8brL8dVUiOg834Xceg9WDm-zpFlTJrXIhI9ZA/s625/Beter%20Peacock%20Assembly%20rev%203.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTaus8ZCfISOH9XjZW9Q7OK2I47i6vMDO_ZYwLE9sdj4HJ2eczP8PlBGdp1luaH8uc2OYAC64SV_ncyI03aLWReMuwbxOoHKmV4cMLTwGroTuEqvusGTZHUjOShA6Z3LMsCXj0MqAWRdrQlGPAZqb8V8brL8dVUiOg834Xceg9WDm-zpFlTJrXIhI9ZA/w640-h542/Beter%20Peacock%20Assembly%20rev%203.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div>I have developed the model to print in several parts, a bit like an “Airfix” kit, we have the main body, the upper cab and the front bogie are the main pieces.

The thread was screwed straight into a tight hole drilled in the bodywork where a pilot whole marks the location to drill. The wheel set on the bogie was from a Tralee and Dingle Railway van by Dundas Models. The axles were slightly shortened with a file, turned down in an electric drill to give a clearance fit in the V pockets of the bogie frame, and retained by some 0.45mm wire slotted in holes under the axle in the frame. A small amount of sheet lead was added to the top of the bogie frame to give it a bit of weight, and help it to run better. Lead sheet was also added to the tank sides above the motion cover frames on each side of the body, which seemed to add enough weight to give the model reasonable traction.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSPrv4Lrc3zPo78yefXJpwgbenlkXhqP-VpioHKW-vzf8Zu-PGVYXCLDJy3EKEqdWx-iouqC8sawJMtcc15bwb32twfaeXD1JUAAIS9I36eTg4bcWsP3vaYhfK0OR9krpF5mxtZHAiazAybDI9RARa-Btj2iXKZE_vFIZbu13o5PZYXp853WNU6IcioQ/s981/BP%20Print%20Assembly%20Bogie%20frame%20detail%20%20rev%201.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSPrv4Lrc3zPo78yefXJpwgbenlkXhqP-VpioHKW-vzf8Zu-PGVYXCLDJy3EKEqdWx-iouqC8sawJMtcc15bwb32twfaeXD1JUAAIS9I36eTg4bcWsP3vaYhfK0OR9krpF5mxtZHAiazAybDI9RARa-Btj2iXKZE_vFIZbu13o5PZYXp853WNU6IcioQ/w400-h336/BP%20Print%20Assembly%20Bogie%20frame%20detail%20%20rev%201.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A pair of white metal vacuum hoses were carefully reshaped to work on the front and rear of the model. The front one is flat and sitting on top of the buffer beam, the hose retained to the right side viewed from the front. The rear one sits to the left side of the buffer beam viewed from the rear, with the pipe bent towards the coupling hook then under the beam. These can also be done with armature wire of about 1mm diameter.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeniJJEELUjznirVAe6fdQVav9mIHbqz6ouTfdkK_oV-gc5hXSFPB_3dZmyWlR-ACudBDmpEyNSmsO6wRuDBLlpigVBSijYuMJXEmW5rLXZeRDJXailI8tsP8zSvNbIMIuCLKPEeRah-pyFlPLwIZbYoNsuMRn54VGpey3QB9F9hEcV_p52pAgWQ_TAA/s3006/NGN%20BP%204.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeniJJEELUjznirVAe6fdQVav9mIHbqz6ouTfdkK_oV-gc5hXSFPB_3dZmyWlR-ACudBDmpEyNSmsO6wRuDBLlpigVBSijYuMJXEmW5rLXZeRDJXailI8tsP8zSvNbIMIuCLKPEeRah-pyFlPLwIZbYoNsuMRn54VGpey3QB9F9hEcV_p52pAgWQ_TAA/w640-h602/NGN%20BP%204.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />When painting the model, I gave it a few coats of grey spray primer. Most of the parts are painted separately and added to the model when dry. <br /><br />The crimson lake I worked with is a mixed colour using Humbrol gloss 20 maroon and a bright matt red Revel M36, the same one I used for the buffer beams. This is toned down on a second coat with the addition of a Revel red-brown matt 37M to the mix which takes most of the shine away but leaves a matt to a satin finish. <br /><br />I have then dry brushed on some Revel 9M charcoal black to highlight the rivets and shadows on the model. The 9M charcoal black is also used on the foot pate, motion frames, roof, bogie, and smokebox areas. Some parts are highlighted using a mix of the black and silver (gunmetal). Areas like the bogie axles boxes, cab steps, smokebox door handles and hinges, Westinghouse pump, pipework, and handrails all benefit from this.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh47bwgqx96G8tSaF6g-Qy9isFNLWb4ofzGBeMlZP2zmAfB8fBjRDkkeleyIOy3wdGaddz6u1yzMb6CLivumQxOQBXr54V-sIrwReO0_cmTUCraxSX3Npoq20l4fVkKmrfb5t4egHe1iCOL8aTRyyixFqrX9qWM1WoQBUrqGWZ0jfstwGqJGcLejn8Pgg/s4320/NGN%20BP%205.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh47bwgqx96G8tSaF6g-Qy9isFNLWb4ofzGBeMlZP2zmAfB8fBjRDkkeleyIOy3wdGaddz6u1yzMb6CLivumQxOQBXr54V-sIrwReO0_cmTUCraxSX3Npoq20l4fVkKmrfb5t4egHe1iCOL8aTRyyixFqrX9qWM1WoQBUrqGWZ0jfstwGqJGcLejn8Pgg/w640-h480/NGN%20BP%205.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;">© 2022 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span><br style="text-align: start;" /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />The models had their first outing at Narrow Gauge North in March 2022 and were displayed on Paul Titmuss' layout Wood Brook.

To this end, I had the idea of fashioning a set of parts that could be used to make many different shapes and sizes of the lighthouse.<br /><br /><br />For my prototype samples, I made a short cone and medium sized cone-shaped tower with which we all associate a lighthouse. I also did a building-style lighthouse with a cylinder shaped tower structure attached, as a comparison to the others. The main materials used in the construction of these buildings was 2mm, foam board, for the base, straight walls and flat shaped formers where required, thin flexible cardboard for anything that needed to be curved, and 50mm wide brown gum paper tape to reinforce the structure (not the reinforced packing type but the smooth art and framing tape). The glazing was a combination of recycled clear acetate and 30mm diameter clear acrylic tubing. I tried both on the lamp lens housing and found the acrylic tubing the best. Doors and windows I obtained from a set of Wills building accessory parts.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0DVQrz_71G_d2LEb5uIWlETdaM_KZBNQGsJfsCKi_Jg3Ki1_JSOYV-nlSgK8zruXN8Akhtgb6vSum_vlrexYxuV_1WKnVc9k87HIEzejQBeKXUTITvlGzeSRq1A6dhLRZiTXMsHZb5j4iZMNSWx6IFJpW28y-xbcLYSjiusEC5UUh8aQ5Yteb3Ai7lA=s944" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="944" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0DVQrz_71G_d2LEb5uIWlETdaM_KZBNQGsJfsCKi_Jg3Ki1_JSOYV-nlSgK8zruXN8Akhtgb6vSum_vlrexYxuV_1WKnVc9k87HIEzejQBeKXUTITvlGzeSRq1A6dhLRZiTXMsHZb5j4iZMNSWx6IFJpW28y-xbcLYSjiusEC5UUh8aQ5Yteb3Ai7lA=w640-h462" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">© 202</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The basic cone shape is easiest to form as a flat shape on paper round a skeleton former. This is then reinforced with further layers of paper or gum paper tape which although relativity thin is very strong, and when slotted into the base and balcony is a very robust structure. I have shown a link to a document describing how I formed the cone shape. These can be made to any height that you may think suitable for your particular model. Of course, you can work with a straight cylinder if you wish although this will not fit into the slot in the base. If so a card ring can be cut and added to the bottom of this to do the same job. This is also the case if you wish to make a building with the light fitted to the roof.</span></div></span><div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwQhfy3gKUQYhwjIcz74ARzidv7u5lKk3bLlOsVDed9SJCLnNrq8MNzkFQi_kVGFYpwIyIIOO0oij3SQN5zfr9vLiS9Oqh-OGHGXi9zCq4dutlvPr3vB6dhOqnLCRlKZkTTh0a5AEz_z1x8h3_ObYJLZia9lsKkrnXoPBfJHZsuBikWGeVQEr-v5HqMw=s3481" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3381" data-original-width="3481" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwQhfy3gKUQYhwjIcz74ARzidv7u5lKk3bLlOsVDed9SJCLnNrq8MNzkFQi_kVGFYpwIyIIOO0oij3SQN5zfr9vLiS9Oqh-OGHGXi9zCq4dutlvPr3vB6dhOqnLCRlKZkTTh0a5AEz_z1x8h3_ObYJLZia9lsKkrnXoPBfJHZsuBikWGeVQEr-v5HqMw=w640-h622" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">© 202</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: black; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The plinth is a cylinder which I have formed with a round disc made to the inner rim diameter of the printed base. I found that 2 or 3mm foam board was a good material to form this in as it is easy to cut for this disc. Two or three layers should be bonded together create a solid base, then thin card cut into a strip 15 to 25 mm high will form the wall. This should be overlapped three or four times to give strength and thickness. It is then possible to add an inner core of a height suitable to hold the LED just under the lens tube. I have found that this gives the best lighting effect with the lens.</span></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjgSZzwRiNhvBvU62y3pnIrN3xqqQ-D3hby6yPIWtyANwb0nSXFSmrO3ZlbTa26fHZQH9guVgo9QSt9z904-S4OgRiA-sP-WCANi3KlTmGH5eQQi8X6aGHwWS53EmiXBxG1zmaonXWBUq-micZgt6XDkx5GTtVfOmhbtJB_fT_gUiO21o3NDithFgbMuQ=s3264" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="3264" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjgSZzwRiNhvBvU62y3pnIrN3xqqQ-D3hby6yPIWtyANwb0nSXFSmrO3ZlbTa26fHZQH9guVgo9QSt9z904-S4OgRiA-sP-WCANi3KlTmGH5eQQi8X6aGHwWS53EmiXBxG1zmaonXWBUq-micZgt6XDkx5GTtVfOmhbtJB_fT_gUiO21o3NDithFgbMuQ=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">© 202</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The lens tube is a clear “Bic” pen outer casing that is cut to a length of between 40mm and 60mm.

The height of this is not fixed and can be to suit your particular model. I would suggest that the lower section is covered in paper gum tape or similar material to stop light bleeding, which also gives a good line to form the windowsill ring around the top of this. This windowsill ring needs to be the same thickness as the proposed vertical glazing bars( I made my version 2mm height x 1mm deep).<br />The glazing bars can be made in many different ways. For my prototype models, I used 8 vertical bars 1mm x 1mm white plasticard bonded with super glue. It just needs an overlay fitting to the upper part of the outer clear acrylic cylinder which will give the impression of glazing bars. This could be as I have done vertical glazing bars or diamond pattern bars, offset glazing bars were also used in some lighthouses to allow for flat glazing panels.<br />To guide the installation of these glazing bars, I made a small cylinder of paper to fit inside the acrylic tube and marked the 8 vertical lines equally spaced on this.<br />I also used a paper ring to form the inner finish of the lower lens housing which is much easier than painting the inside of the tube and gives a nice crisp line at the top.</span><div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDa86AQNURZrID9iwaKjxGUshCd99Ko3gWSSZp0DvPcyqkxcia2EKc2vs3HXKSN0pgXsjmuI-piRng6QXPKNHOIhkpXjNUtNW-strQneQK4ujHB6eqt8RvATAkvJCcWMhUKGdULDNWbYjPt-qs4afZ5uiKoc65dPrGUVk6ia5YhIHZTR7vuuILIU9-0g=s1921" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1777" data-original-width="1921" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDa86AQNURZrID9iwaKjxGUshCd99Ko3gWSSZp0DvPcyqkxcia2EKc2vs3HXKSN0pgXsjmuI-piRng6QXPKNHOIhkpXjNUtNW-strQneQK4ujHB6eqt8RvATAkvJCcWMhUKGdULDNWbYjPt-qs4afZ5uiKoc65dPrGUVk6ia5YhIHZTR7vuuILIU9-0g=w640-h592" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">© 202</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: black;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></span></div><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: black;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 12pt;"><span color="inherit" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><p class="x_western" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.84px; margin-bottom: 0.28cm; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: black;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 12pt;"><span color="inherit" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p></span></span></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: black;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6_-TEtHwTRwOZTFJ-ZALH7sog4pF6jttRrn9L1mDOZtPodaC0yTey-P4bvUD2mGchK2J55QEihG4m2eb3sIaOwwYiNY9FF_FdwPIdMr2K_O1u8lYVkJYVnvFbwL2fkR-9kqVQ9pFriEWe2yDe4ijqCL2mW23l3bfHHLrShWHNxeV_He_5a131lKt7gQ=s480" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="138" data-original-width="480" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6_-TEtHwTRwOZTFJ-ZALH7sog4pF6jttRrn9L1mDOZtPodaC0yTey-P4bvUD2mGchK2J55QEihG4m2eb3sIaOwwYiNY9FF_FdwPIdMr2K_O1u8lYVkJYVnvFbwL2fkR-9kqVQ9pFriEWe2yDe4ijqCL2mW23l3bfHHLrShWHNxeV_He_5a131lKt7gQ=w640-h184" width="640" /></a></span></span></span></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Doors and windows<br />I used doors from a Wills set of parts, and also windows and outer frames on the lighthouse building prototype. The openings in towers are formed with just a cutout and some acetate sheet bonded straight to the inner wall surface. The cutouts in the paper for both doors and windows have the edges sealed with PVA before painting.<br /><br />The printed parts are a roof, balcony, and base ring.<br /><br />The roof is an eight segment metal clad dome with a ball finial cap. The cap itself has a pilot hole for the addition of a weather vane or lighting conductor to be added. Under the roof, a rim is formed to accept a 30mm diameter clear acrylic tube which forms the lamp housing.<br />A balcony with railings around the outer edge has a trough formed in the top surface to take the bottom of the 30mm diameter clear acrylic tube. It also has a slot to take the cone formed at the base, with corbels on the outside of the cone for supports to the balcony.<br />The base ring is designed to allow the cone to sit within a rim in the top surface, and the bottom has a rebate around the outer edge to locate it onto the separate plinth. This plinth is useful to allow the removal of the structure when in place on a layout or diorama making it easier for the permanent fitting of an LED lighthouse lamp fitting.</span></div><div><br /><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjox_ytmIgvkAeogWtO5kBbrc3rlfWabAbO_CPm2IB2quuQ9PkfPQyZMcvi64CQIaKzWyJ0z0v6S1RoBMSVIm17iQe7viOkesgINZLvXU9oJW0vV-gz3TShXUKSy6TwmMkqTHoKictGWR-gFUsCli1om2X6krET5jQtP_qKj3WU-fmqsJVIvzyk76c-JA=s4320" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3240" data-original-width="4320" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjox_ytmIgvkAeogWtO5kBbrc3rlfWabAbO_CPm2IB2quuQ9PkfPQyZMcvi64CQIaKzWyJ0z0v6S1RoBMSVIm17iQe7viOkesgINZLvXU9oJW0vV-gz3TShXUKSy6TwmMkqTHoKictGWR-gFUsCli1om2X6krET5jQtP_qKj3WU-fmqsJVIvzyk76c-JA=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">© 202</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Painting and finishing sprayed the printed parts and paper parts with a grey primer and then applied the render or paint finishes.<br />To achieve a render finish on the main tower I have come up with a mix of one part acrylic white paint, one part white powder filler and one part PVA glue, with a spot of washing up liquid to break the surface tension of the PVA.

My first sample unit was mounted on a plinth that raised it up into the core of the cone to just under the lens tube. I found it focused the light better by adding a small upstand around the lamp. It is much easier to have the base for the lighthouse separate, so this can be added to the landscape and wired in without risking damage to the lighthouse model itself.<br /><br />The power for my unit was from a 9V battery. I mounted this in a switched battery box, these are quite freely available on the internet. The units are rated to run on a 7- 13 volts regulated DC power supply or 9 volts battery. To further aid the changing of the battery I added a pair of low voltage plug connectors between the light unit and the battery box.</span></div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px;

font-size: medium;">It was at the Halifax 2019 model railway show that I was tempted by an old Hornby “Smoky Joe” style 0-4-0 engine sitting in one of the second-hand boxes. I had seen some ideas on YouTube about add simple cylinders and coupling rods to these which looked convincing when completed. Little did I think it would lead me into an interest in a new scale of 7mm. <br /><br />It was some weeks later when I came round to see what I could do with the old Hornby chassis, my first thoughts were the type of engine I could build from the existing bodywork. I found a very good source of inspiration at the Smallbrook Studios web site. They do resin body conversions for the 00 chassis in a 7mm scale, there is also a good catalog of rolling stock and detailed parts. <br /><br />I found one saddle tank conversion from a Hornby “Thomas The Tank Engine” Bill Loco just what I liked. I look on eBay and was lucky enough to find a body for the Bachmman version of the Bill engine. My plan was to scratch build a new cab and smokebox door, then buy a cast resin dome and water tank lid. Other details I could get from various other sources. <br /><br />My next thoughts were on the cylinder conversion, I looked up the You Tube video I had seen previously. The parts used on that were spares form a Hornby Class 28XX 2-8-0 Loco Valve gear, I got a set of these from Peters Spares. Only the crossheads and slide bars would be needed for this job so the other bits would be saved for something in the future. To attach the crossheads and the coupling rods I required some very small 14BA machine screws nuts and washers, and eBay came up with a suitable supplier of these. <br /><br />I would need to build some simple cylinders to fit onto the existing chassis, and remove the existing moulded ones. To do this I laminated together a couple of Placticard blocks and a bridge between them to form a cylinder arrangement. Holes were drilled to give a clearance fit to the crossheads and a tight fit for the slid bars. The chassis was cut to allow the cylinders to sit in the correct place. <br /><br /> The next job was to alter the coupling rods, these needed to be cut in front of the dummy cross heads, and a clearance hole made in the centre of the rod for the 14BA screws. Once done the screws can be passed through from the back of the coupling rods, a washer placed between them and the crosshead, then a couple of nuts used on the outside of the crossheads will lock them in place. It all needs to be a loose fit to work. Once all is fitted together a quick test run will let you know if any adjustments are required for smooth running. <br /><br />Once the chassis was running, I started thinking, could I 3D print a version of the cylinders and crossheads. So off I went to the computer and came up with a version that used 0.7mm brass wire for the slide rods and cylinder rod. I used White Versatile Plastic to create the prototype print and after a couple of attempts, I got them working. So I added these to the loco I was building.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_vxZ96tbXdk/X_H6o_pjCYI/AAAAAAAAGQU/7ik8qrw0Rg4nKUDElNNql6Rg5WKS77nIQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_5573.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© 2020 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="western" style="line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 0.28cm;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br />There came a point when I had to add the Bachmman body to the Hornby chassis, This was not a straight forward fit, but with a little cutting and a bit of Milliput Putty, it went together. By removing some plastic from the bottom of the footplate around the front and rear couplings and infilling a small section to the front of the footplate, where an 8 BA nut could be bonded to the underside. The chassis in turn needed a slot cutting at the back to allow it to fit the rear bodywork. A hole was drilled through the front of the chassis in the centre of the cylinder bridge to allow an 8 BA screw to pass through, this is to hold the chassis and body together. NEM Coupling pockets were fitted in place encased in Milliput putty at both ends of the chassis, <br /><br />Once I had completed the scratch-built body the natural progression was to see if I could produce a 3D printed version of a body. The only thing to decide what engine to have a go with. In the end, I worked on two types the Skylark style and Peckett style engines which I had already done in 009. These were scaled up and reworked around the new chassis. The idea being, to create a body shell with the cylinders already attached. These could be used as simple conversion to the Hornby chassis by removing the cylinders and couplings from the Hornby chassis, then the chassis would simply push into place under the new body.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AohRyaf3Sds/X_H7UtWtB8I/AAAAAAAAGQc/iuKn4NT2hrAYNVtE-ntE7lrJxqu8ka8rACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h506/Shapeways%2BPeckett%2B1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">© 2020 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="western" style="line-height: 108%; margin-bottom: 0.28cm;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you wanted to go further you removed the cylinders from the printed body also and add the additional printed cylinder block and crossheads to the chassis to create a more detailed version of the engine.

is a really nicely modelled Atlas Editions Bern steam tram and coach
out on sale at the minute, which with a little careful conversion
makes a very detailed steam tram engine and coach set for 009
modellers. The main additions are a Kato 11-110 chassis to motorise
the </span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">s</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">team

main difficulty with this conversion is the dismantling of the two
models. I found that some parts were glued together more affectivity
than others. This can cause some breakages as the plastic used is
quite delicate. I found that the worst areas were the railings on
both the tram and coach, which broke in several places.</span></p><p class="western"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CnxV3CZDy9M/YA1kOqJw6RI/AAAAAAAAGj8/_fEKx8PayCkKmPZqZsfpV3Ow95RuL1EvgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1291" data-original-width="2048" height="404" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CnxV3CZDy9M/YA1kOqJw6RI/AAAAAAAAGj8/_fEKx8PayCkKmPZqZsfpV3Ow95RuL1EvgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h404/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B3.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;">© 202</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="western"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">I

steps are formed in quite thick plastic and to allow enough swing on
the couplings it is a good idea to reduce these on the backside, and
soften the inner edges. I ended up having to re-fix one of these as
it was not glued on well.</span><p class="western"></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-czWjpYfgT1E/YA1koqTL82I/AAAAAAAAGkI/0hylqjs3GwAfuU_pYrUW0ItDO8UrS6WEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B5.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1361" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-czWjpYfgT1E/YA1koqTL82I/AAAAAAAAGkI/0hylqjs3GwAfuU_pYrUW0ItDO8UrS6WEQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B5.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;">© 202</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="western"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">To
fit the bogies, I created a new subfloor in 1mm plasticard which
fitted between the steps and the break gear in the centre of the
coach. I left the original threaded lugs used to fix the coach to the
display base in place and drilled two holes in the new base to allow
for these. The other two lugs to fix the dummy bogies in place I had
to remove. This was done by drilling, using progressively larger
drills. Once at the bottom face of the floor I formed a countersink
to allow clearance for the free moment of the new bogies.</span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">To
mount the Peco G-106 bogies all that is needed is a hole of the
correct size, and they will just clip in place. These were formed by
drilling a clearance hole larger than the bogies require in the
subfloor. A packer is then made to sit below this which has a smaller
hole suited to the bogie's clips. This </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">need</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">s
to be fairly small and inbound of the wheels which need to swing
freely. I glued this in place under the hole in the subfloor, lining
it up the two holes, which formed a small rebate above the hole in
the packer.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">The
bogies were adapted to suit the steps, by using a set of the Peco
GR-103 NEM coupling pockets and cutting these and refitting them to
form a long bar type mount instead of the moulded L shaped
arrangement. I then glued this to the opposite end of the bogie to

this arrangement the coach should be able to negotiate track curves
around 200 to 230mm (8 to 9”) and it is a really nicely detailed
coach.</span></span></p><p class="western"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The
steam tram takes a little more work to dismantle it. The boiler,
funnel and pipework are all glued in place then fitted to the base
which has to be removed at the bottom, and the side railings are very
awkward to get off without breakage. In the end, I removed the roof
and windows above the waistline. This allowed me much better access
to the bits, but I still had to carefully break the funnel off the
boiler. I carefully saved all the bits for re-assembly later, then
using the existing base as a template I marked a piece of 1mm
plasticard with its shape. I then marked some centre lines on the new
base and added a template of the Kato 11-110 cut out.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYfmrJvQoI8/YA1j0c7fLqI/AAAAAAAAGj0/CcHq-OaGdFclKuOW76iQKYq1usXlnRP7QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1499" data-original-width="2000" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYfmrJvQoI8/YA1j0c7fLqI/AAAAAAAAGj0/CcHq-OaGdFclKuOW76iQKYq1usXlnRP7QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;">© 202</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: black; text-align: left;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>

this is cut out and fits in place OK, some stops to position it is
needed on the front and back of the cab. It sits 1mm below the
original base and there are a couple of ridges on the ends of the
bodywork which gives you a good guide to position the stops. A new
floor needs adding above the chassis to make it easier to fit the
boiler and pipework back in place. This needs to be a fraction
smaller than the original base and is supported on a couple of strips
fitted to each side, </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">which</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB">
are about 5mm wide so the whole floor will be raised up by 6mm. The
boiler will need to be reduced by this 6mm also. This is just about
level with the existing body sides so does not look much different
from the original arrangement.</span></span></span></span></p><p class="western"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EVmtj8pkHpg/YA1ldVRo8kI/AAAAAAAAGkc/29OOzR_hLUY2vTQ8ttM7_Lxkk9HtGvRCgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B6.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1631" data-original-width="2048" height="510" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EVmtj8pkHpg/YA1ldVRo8kI/AAAAAAAAGkc/29OOzR_hLUY2vTQ8ttM7_Lxkk9HtGvRCgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h510/Atlas%2BBern%2BTram%2BBuild%2B6.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; text-align: left;">© 202</span><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span lang="en-GB">1</span></span><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"> David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="western"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="en-GB"><br />The

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They
do not need to be large and are also a good way to display items of
stock at home or at shows, a very good way of practising scenic
techniques without committing to a full layout. They can be formed
from any light and rigid material such as polystyrene or Polyboard.
For my recent ones, I have been using 25 mm polystyrene bonded between
outer skins of 4 mm plywood. This gives an extremely light and rigid
block which may be shaped with a sharp blade. A sharp short pointed
kitchen knife if you are allowed one of these.</span></div>
<div align="justify" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-right: -0.58cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I
have left the base plywood as a rectangular piece and the upper skin
has been pre-cut to the shape of the track bead, this makes it much
easier to work the profiles of the surrounding landscape into the
polystyrene core block. </span>

usually, work from a plan sketched on a piece of wallpaper lining
paper; this gives me the position and scale of the main elements of
the scene, roads, rivers, rocks, structures, walls, fences, gates and
trees. For my latest scene, I have used a small stone bridge, the kind
that would be used on an embankment to allow for a small lane or
river. This has given me an excuse to add a kink in the track plan,
always more interesting than a straight piece of line.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After
cutting out and gluing the plywood and polystyrene together with PVA
the glue they were cramped together using a workmate vice, it is best to
leave this overnight as the PVA takes some time to dry between the
polystyrene.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While
this is drying the stone bridge was formed so the landscape could be
carved out around it and make sure we get a snug fit. Other elements
like fencing and trees can also be pre-made at this time. For this
scene, I have used a combination of stone walls, wire fence, and hedges.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
bridge and parapets have been formed in Wills embossed plastic sheet
random stone with corbel sheet forming the coping's, the bridge was
made in two halves so it could be glued back together again under the
trackbed when fully painted and weathered. A base coat of a dark
buff colour was used, then further thinned and dry brushed coats of
grey, charcoal and earth brown were added, further thinned and dry
brushed coats of grey and olive green finished the paintwork off.
This should not look uniform but also be in the right areas. The dark
charcoal staining on the upper parts of the stones, the green
staining around the base and some run down from the coping’s, some
areas of buff should still show through the other thin layers of
paint.

<div align="justify" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-right: -0.58cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When
the base has dried, I used a sharp short pointed kitchen knife to
carve the polystyrene to shape following the profile of the plywood
trackbed as a guide. I then used the pre-made bridge to gauge the
hole needed under the track for it to fit correctly with the
capping’s level with the top of the track.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A
rasp file was then used to take all of the sharp edges of the
plywood and blend it in with the polystyrene. The edges of the block
were then smoothed with some 240 grid sandpaper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
next stage was to give the whole diorama a durable shell to apply the
decorative finishes too. I have used a brown gum paper tape; this is
available form art materials suppliers. I use this for lots of cold
moulds forming in my projects, and by building up multiple crossed
layers on a former, it is very strong and durable when dried. I
used about 6 layers on this diorama, formed in two stages, letting
each application of about 3 layers dry before applying the next. Ones
it dries it contracts and tightens on the mould. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: large;">Next
I added the track, Using Peco 009 rustic flexible track formed into
the shape I required, this was bonded to the upper plywood surface
with PVA glue and held in place with small clamps overnight till the
glue dried. Once dried a couple of check rails were added to the
curved sections each side of the bridge, these also extending over
the bridge and were held in place with some track pins. The sleepers
were predrilled before these pines were pushed in place with some
pliers. It was necessary to bend the check rails to shape before
fitting them. I painted the sides of the rails with a dark grey &
brown mix of revel oil paints to take the shine off the new track
work.</span></div>
<div align="justify" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-right: -0.58cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif; font-size: large;">The bridge could now be fitted in place ready for the landscape base
material to be added around it. The two halves were bonded together
with polystyrene cement and then glued in the correct position on the
diorama using some contact adhesive. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For
the landscape base I used a mix of plaster filler, PVA glue, and
mixed brown powder paint into the mix. This gives a pre-coloured base
paste which does save painting the landscape before applying scenic
materials such as static grass and scatter materials. It also has the
advantage of a stronger plaster that can be applied in a thinner
layer which is there for lighter, and if you work it after you have
finished the scenery it does not show white through, just a soil
colour. The more PVA you add the smoother the mixes surface will
become and the longer it takes to dry. Add as little water as
possible to form a thick paste, as a dryer mix is easier to apply. </span>

After
letting the base landscape mix dry my thoughts turned to add the
track ballast. I wanted a fine stone for this and came up with fine
dry building sand which has been sieved. I then added some grey
powder paint to this and mixed it dry. Because of the colour of the sand, this did give me a darker coloured ballast, this was not a problem as
I wanted to dry brush a lighter grey over some areas and other parts
will be covered with static grass. The powder was added round and
between the track dry and a medium sized paintbrush used to spread
the ballast in and around the sleepers. This was then fixed with a
glue mix off 50% PVA and 50% water; a small drop of liquid soap
(washing up liquid) is also added to allow the glue to flow through
the powder. The glue mix was applied with a syringe; two lots of glue
were applied, leaving the first to dry overnight.

landscape materials were a mix of 3mm late summer dry grass and 2 and
3mm mid tones of green static grass, I used some sponge scatter in
patches to give depth to the landscape colour. A rock outcrop and
banking was formed using some small sandstone shards crushed up into
4mm scale rocks and bedded in the plaster before it set. </span></span></span></span></span>

were formed with wire armatures which I painted with a plaster mix

to form the foliage, these included Woodland Scenics foliage and
sponge scatter added to the armatures with contact adhesive and PVA
glue. Some small trees ware formed with a bamboo trunk and lichen
sprinkled with sponge scatter applied over the top. This method was
also used to form gorse bushes with the yellow flowers being added by
using a yellow acrylic paint dabbed over the top and upper sides of
the bush.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This engine was inspired by an article in the 009 News September
2019 by Ben Powell, who had accomplished a fantastic scratch version of a
Peckett saddle tank shunter, on a Ndrive chassis with special outside cranks. Hornby
has also brought out a standard gauge 0-6-0 version of a Pickett shunter which is
super detailed, and I love the colour selected for that model. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, taking this style of the small engine as a
guide I drew up a tram version to run on the newer Kato 11-110 chassis, more of
a challenge to myself to come up with something that looked similar as a 009-tram
engine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

printed as one piece to be split into roof, body, footplate and couplings. This
can be printed in White Versatile Plastic or Fine Detailed Plastic. With the
addition of small handrail knobs, brass wire and smokebox door darts looks like
a passable resemblance to a Peckett style tram engine. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had a sample printed by Shapeways in Fine Detailed
Plastic. When this arrived with me, I soaked it in Petroleum organic solvent –
paint thinners (“White Sprits” in the UK) in order to remove the wax support
residue left from printing, then a wash in warm soapy water should leave the
surface ready for painting after it is fully dried. I use a grey or white spray
primer to prep the model for finishing. In some areas, it will be necessary to
remove print lines from the surface, and this can be done with a burnishing
tool - I use a hardwood stick with a rounded point to get in the tight spaces.
Do these processes before separating the print into its component parts so you
will be less likely to lose any of the small pieces.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The next job was to add the handrails to the saddle tank
and at the side of the cab. I obtained these from a supplier on eBay for both
the wire and the small brass handrail knobs. I have used Alan Gibson versions
in the past, but these turned out every bit as good. The cab side handrails I
formed as small staples bent with pliers to the right size and fitted into the
pilot holes supplied in the model. I did have to drill out the holes for the
small handrail knobs to give them a clearance fit. The handrails were then
glued in place with Cyanoacrylate (super) glue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The new Kato 11-110 chassis is a welcome improvement on
the later version of the 11-104 which they replace, having more weight, different
gearing, a brass flywheel and much smother electric motor. They fit within a
similar opening as the original. They do not need as much ballast to run well,
but adding some is a good idea for traction. I used small strips of lead fitted
along the inside of the skirts, as low as possible to keep the engine balanced.

the model a final coat of grey spray primer and made sure all was ready of the
final paint finish. For this model, I was trying some Tamiya acrylic paints, for
the body XF-4 Yellow Green the footplate, roof Handrails, smokebox door, funnel
and couplings XF-85 Rubber Black on the buffer beams XF-7 Flat Red. Using these
I noticed that each colour has a different consistency, the XF-4 and XF-7 being
thin and needing several coats were as the XF-85 was smother creamer and needed
fewer coats. Some details like the window frames I picked out in a brass enamel
paint and the cab handrails, cylinders and couplings were painted in a
gunmetal metallic enamel paint.</span><br />

to the model. I applied a coat of clear gloss enamel varnish to the areas these
were to be placed, this is a better surface to apply the transfers to and
allows you to adjust and position them much easier. I used “Fox” 2mm waterslide
transfers in black for the cab sides and rear and white for the front buffer
beam. The etched nameplate was obtained from an eBay supplier “N Brass Locos” of
premade 009 industrial engine nameplates. These plates were glued in place
with a small amount Cyanoacrylate (super) glue, though a contact adhesive works
as well and does give time to adjust the position on the model. Once this was completed,
I applied a coat of matt enamel varnish to the whole surface of the model, this
also seals the transfers in place.</span></div>

tipping a small amount of the coal over this using a tube as a micro shovel to
place it correctly. I have in the past made some working lamps from white Plasticard
and rhinestones of clear and red plastic and I used two of these for the
running lamps for this engine.</span><br />

took a Kato 11-109 chassis and had a go fitting this into the body shell. The
major alterations to the chassis had to be done to the front part of the
unit, some metal had to be removed, this allowed it to sit in the right
alignment to the wheel arches. To do this bit of cutting, I removed the plastic
shell from the chassis and cut the front off using a cutting disk in a mini
drill. One thing to observe when doing this the metal chassis is in two
electricity isolated halves, so when the cutting is done make sure that there
are no little bits of metalwork still bridging the gap between the two. This
will cause a short circuit.</span></div>

from the floor pan, which was a tricky job on the front ones as I did this by
keeping the front part of the floor pan connecting them together, this made it
much easier to line them up when fitted. These were glued to the metal bodywork
with a little super glue, I did remove the paint from the wheel arches on the body first. The
inside of the rear ones were made flush with the inner body, but the front ones
I left to overhanging a bit and cut back the chassis to suit.</span></div>

mainly at the front to squeeze into place. Once this was lined up I drilled a
series of holes to suit 1 mm soft steel wire and formed some side rails and a
front and rear bumper rail, and that was it, a relativity quick fix with no
painting or finishing needed, though I will probably give it a coat of matt
varnish and a bit of weathering. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

had a sample printed by Shapeways in Fine Detailed Plastic. When this
arrived I soaked it in Petroleum organic solvent – paint
thinners (“White Spirits” in the UK) in order to remove the wax
support residue left from printing. I then washed it in warm soapy water to leave the surface ready for painting when fully dried.
I use a grey or white spray primer to prep the model for finishing.
In some areas, it will be necessary to remove print lines from the
surface, and this can be done with a burnishing tool - I use a
hardwood stick with a rounded point to get in the tight spaces. Do
these processes before separating the print into its component parts
so you will be less likely to lose any of the small pieces.</font></span></div><div><font face=""><br /></font><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: arial, serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GhYqPEKC420/XwYhEhOCmwI/AAAAAAAAETs/F9vBVrZx_fIuDTVbxrxUVBZKbJN84enVQCK4BGAsYHg/s1333/Waddington%2B3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="999" data-original-width="1333" height="469" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GhYqPEKC420/XwYhEhOCmwI/AAAAAAAAETs/F9vBVrZx_fIuDTVbxrxUVBZKbJN84enVQCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h469/Waddington%2B3.jpg" width="625" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; text-align: left;">© 2020 David Hurst All Rights Reserved</span></td></tr></tbody></table><font face=""><br /></font><font face="arial"><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Wirework and details</b><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The next job was to add the handrails to the door which is on the

are a welcome improvement on the later version of the 11-104 that
they replace, having more weight, different gearing, a brass flywheel, and much smoother electric motor. They fit within a similar opening as

adding some is a good idea for traction. I used small strips of lead

tram engine, based on a Fowler traction engine’s boiler and funnel, the cab of a steam wagon, assembled on a footplate to go on rails. The result is a reverse running engine cab
first with a large forward facing lamp, but it looks equally well as a small engine with a high
mounted boiler and oval cab windows running forward. It would probably be used
in various industrial settings or on small roadside tramways around the latter
part of the 1800s.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had a sample printed by Shapeways in Fine Detailed
Plastic. When this arrived, I soaked it in Petroleum organic solvent –
paint thinners (“White Sprits” in the UK) in order to remove the wax support
residue left from printing, then I washed it in warm soapy water this should be left to fully dried before painting. I then used a grey spray
primer to prep the model for finishing. In some areas, it may be necessary with some models to remove print lines from the surface, and this can be done with a burnishing
tool - I use a hardwood stick with a rounded point to get in the tight spaces.
Do these processes before separating the print into its component parts so you
will be less likely to lose any of the small pieces.</span></div>

fitted into the pilot holes supplied on the model. The handrails were then
glued in place with Cyanoacrylate (super) glue.</span></div>

the model a final coat of grey spray primer and made sure all was ready of the
final paint finish. For this model I was trying some Tamiya acrylic paints, I
had decided this was going to be an industrial-looking model and finished in
black, so I used the XF-85 Rubber Black on everything except the front buffer
beam, which I used XF-7 Flat Red. Using these I noticed that each colour has a
different consistency, the XF-7 being thin and needing several coats were as
the XF-85 was smoother, creamer, and needed fewer coats. I picked out some details like the
window frames in a brass enamel paint and the cab handrails I
left in the brass wire to match. The cylinders, couplings, lamp, and smokebox door were
painted in a gunmetal metallic enamel paint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I wanted to add numbers transfers to the model so I applied
a coat of clear gloss enamel varnish to the areas these were to be placed. This
is a better surface to apply the transfers to and allows you to adjust and
position them much easier. I used “Fox” 2mm waterslide transfers in gold for
the cab sides and rear only. Once this was completed, I applied a coat of matt
enamel varnish to the whole surface of the model, this also seals the transfers
in place.</span></div>

coal over this using a tube as a micro shovel to place it correctly. </span></div>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The bodywork is printed in one main part with separate parts, which I
think makes it easier to paint the model. The approach to finishing
the print, which in this case is done in Fine Detailed Plastic, was to remove
the wax support material from the print by soaking in petroleum paint
thinners (white spirits in the UK) and then wash in warm (not hot) soapy water,
leaving the model to dry overnight. I left all the parts attached together when
I did this, so I did not lose any of the smaller parts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to allow me to clean the surface of the print removing any furring and surface
lining caused in the printing process of the model. Once this is completed a

using 14BA brass machine screws, nuts, and washers. These would be cut to remove
the head and bonded into pre-printed pilot holes in the new extended wheel
hubs, leaving them long so they can be trimmed off after final fitting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The final print was set up with the four sets of hubs and coupling rods
printed together off a central sprue. When fitting the hubs to the wheelsets,
each pair of hubs still connected to a coupling rod has the 14BA threads put in
place, which are glued in place and then glued to the wheel centres with a
Cyanoacrylate (super) glue. A delicate job that needs to be done the right first
time. Once this is done on all of the wheelsets the coupling rods can be
separated from the hubs. The sprues will need to be cleaned off these and the
holes in the coupling rods drilled out to give a loose fit to the 14BA threads.
This loose fit is essential for the coupling rods to work without causing the whole
mechanism to seize up. The washers are placed between the coupling rods and the
nuts. These are not tightened but will be locked in place with a little contact
adhesive when the final assembly is completed. You will find that all of the
holes will need to be drilled out on both the hubs and the coupling rods. This
is a restriction in the printing process the hole size can dictate the overall
size of the printed parts.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One small engine
which a lot of people seem to have on their layouts is the Kerr Stuart 0-4-2 Skylark.
Most use the white metal kit and a chassis such as the Ndrive 0-4-0 with a pony
wheel added. I was impressed by the one built by Michael Campbell using the <u>Kato
</u>chassis with side plates which mimicked the pony wheel with the rear wheel
of the Kato chassis, a simple but really good solution. <a href="http://michaelsrailways.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/a-little-bit-of-skirt.html">http://michaelsrailways.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/a-little-bit-of-skirt.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are very good when getting into modelling 009 narrow gauge engines
as they are so reliable and inexpensive. These can be used on engines that are
made with side plates, which were usual on roadside tramways built in the UK
and Ireland. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started by making
a mock-up footplate, to get the right-sized opening to fit the chassis. Once I
had that sorted I made a few scale drawings of the bodywork, using the pictures
as guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">My plan was to build the engine from different
thickness of sheet Plasticard and spare pieces from old model kits that had
been left over.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To make the body I printed some paper patterns
from the drawings that I had made, which were temporally fixed to various
thickness of Plasticard with Pritt stick. This holds them long enough to cut
out and the paper then just peels off afterwards. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The smoke box having
a round top was formed using 1mm front and back shaped pieces fixed to the
rectangular base. Then thin sheet Plasticard was formed over this in two layers.
This is easy to bend to shape and by gluing the additional layer strengthens it
up. The same idea was used on the boiler, with an additional layer being used
to create the bands around the boiler. Of course if you have the right size
tube this will save going to the trouble of making the boiler.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Kerr Stuart “Tattoo Class” is a favourite of mine and I have
built quite a few models based around this type of engine. They were built by
Kerr Stuart & Co in large numbers at the beginning of the 1900’s as a small
workhorse engine, the majority being for 2 ft gauge lines and having outside
frames, to accommodate the firebox. There were however quite a few built for
wider gauges 2ft 6” and 3ft with inside frames. Being a basic engine, most had
open cabs, though some had enclosed cabs added in different forms at the time
of manufacture, or later by their owners. </span></div>

of a rear pony wheel. The spark that prompted me to finally build the model was

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I started by looking for the right candidate for a pony wheel, which
needed to be around 5.3 mm. There was also the question of how to mount the
wheel onto the chassis. Now Ndrive Productions (Neville) has a nifty little
etched universal mount to do this job, a cross with several holes to fit the
wheels and create a pivot. The only thing was that you needed a wheel set that
separates from the axles (to pass through the holes in the pony truck etch). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I discovered that the Kato wheel sets are held together with a
plastic tube (to electrically insulate the wheels) and are close to the right
size for the pony wheel. By filing off the pinpoint bearing and carefully
opening out the hole in the etch I had a basic pony wheel and mount. Having
selected the suitable pivot hole on the etch, it was then a fiddly job to drill
a small very accurate hole to take a 10 BA cheese head machine screw in the
base of the chassis. Care is needed as you are working very close to the gears,
(so don’t slip)?</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This pony wheel assembly is very light and does not ride on the
track well in reverse, although its wheels are free moving and it pivots
easily. The etch being a cross shaped form does give the opportunity to add a
little weight at the back of the wheels. The 10 BA cheese head needed to be
filed down to a thin disk with a new slot cut across it, to avoid catching on
the track at points. It was also necessary to file down the wheel pick-ups at
the back of the chassis or the etch for the pony wheel would not pass over
these.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The other areas of the chassis that needed to be fettled were
above and in front the cylinders. These needed to be filed off and cut to allow
the chassis to sit tightly up to the underside of the footplate. Also, the
width of the rear bar needed reducing at both sides.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">To say that this kit was designed for another type of chassis, it
was a surprisingly good fit. There was a small area for the cab front and
underside of the boiler to remove to accommodate the slightly bigger motor, a
few tweaks to the footplate at the front a small square to cut out for the worm
gear, and that was it. The body and the chassis were held together by forming a
small L shaped bracket at the back and glueing this to the underside of the
cab, this formed a channel for the rear of the chassis to hook into.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The front fixing of the bodywork uses the existing counter-sunk
machine screw and nut supplied with the chassis. This was done by slightly deepening
the counter sink in the chassis and glueing the nut to the top face of the footplate
situated above the existing hole. All of this was done before the bulk of the
model was put together. I also added the blast under the saddle tank and in the
smoke box before final assembly. It needed more weight at the front to counter
the overhang of the cab, and partly to reduce this weight. I did not use the
cab roof since this appeared too thick and bulky ,but instead formed one in
Plasticard sheet, creating the gutters which the metal roof lacked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Other modifications to the model included adding brass 0.45 mm
wire handrails to the cab sides and above the smoke box. Also water feed pipe
work under the saddle tank was added to hide the cogs and worm gear. The
shape of the cylinders was changed by using some Plasticard sheet to make them look
more like the prototype. The buffers were not used on this model, only the
supplied coupling plus some lamps and tool boxes.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Paintwork on this model was completed when it was fully assembled,
apart from the cab roof which was left loose to allow the cab interior to be
finished. To prime the metal and plastic structure I used a matt grey spray
primer suitable for metal and plastic surfaces. The finishing paints where oil-based
enamels. The green used was a mix of deep Brunswick green and light grey green.
The black areas were a mix of matt black on the smoke box and funnel, the other
areas being painted in a charcoal grey. I used a signal red on the buffer
beams, whilst inside the cab was left in the grey primer finish. Small details
such as pipework and safety valves were picked out in a brass metallic finish.
The whole model was finished in either a matt varnish or satin clear varnish
once details such as the works plates and name plates were fitted.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">I then turned
my attention back to the earlier versions used on the County Donegal railway: number
18 with the bonnet and flat cab front, number 12 with the staggered cab front
looking very similar to a bus. I also looked at the coach bodies and have come
up with an older panelled version with a different window arrangement. My final
idea was to bring the ex- Clogher Valley Number 10 coach body into this range, which
would give a smaller rail car for some of the space-challenged layouts out

coach and cab can be interchanged, and they are all powered by the same Kato
11-104 chassis with some modifications to suit the various cab formats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">These new rail cars are 4 mm scale, though the length of the coaches have been reduced to
allow them to operate on smaller “Set Track” curve radiuses with more ease. Due
to the cost of printing the coach bodies, I have designed them to print in
Versatile Processed Plastic though I have made other options available. The Versatile
Processed Plastic material is smooth looking on the mainly large flat surfaces
of the coaches when the surface has a good build-up of primer. The cabs have a
little more detail and can be printed in the Fine Detailed plastic if required.
The main advantage of printing the coach in the Versatile Plastic is the bogie
will be better suited to fitting and running the wheels. The Fine Detailed
plastic does work but is brittle and would need more clearance forming to allow
for the wheel bearings to be positioned in the bogie frame. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This is a small
industrial </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">loco</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> based on the one used at the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.
It is now an exhibit at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum which is situated
in Cultra</span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </b><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">near Belfast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">My idea was
to find a small to medium size industrial loco with an interesting look about it,
I wanted a compact design where the cab was low enough to be used for both
industrial and mining purposes. The one used at the Guinness Brewery in Dublin
fitted this model very well, being designed to be used within the tight
clearances around the Brewery complex in Dublin. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The other good point about
this engine was that it was no plain Jane; it had a good level of detail both
under the footplate and around the bodywork. This is very good for adapting the
design to suit a particular chassis. With the small size and narrow wheel base
of this engine I have looked at using the Tomy-tec H1 chassis. It has turned
out slightly larger than I planned, more on the medium size, but looks as if it
is man enough to do most types of industrial haulage jobs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">At this stage
it is time to separate all the detail parts from the main body and footplate of
the model. Most of the small parts will snap off the sprues with a genital push
or twist, as the base of the sprues are smaller and weaken to allow for this.
The main parts however are best cut from each other using a razor saw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There may be a
little more cleaning up to do on these small parts now that they are accessible
all-round. Once this is done check that they all fitted into the corresponding
holes made for them on the body of the engine. The fiddly ones are the driver’s
seat and the brake handle column, for which I used small tweezers to hold the parts
while putting them in place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The chassis was
tried in place next. I have allowed a little bit more clearance on this model
than some of my previous ones, so the chassis will seem loose. This is because
the Fine Detailed plastic is less flexible and would break if put under too
much pressure. The use of a small piece of Blu Tack at each end of the chassis
footplate will take this tolerance up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I found it easier
to paint the small detailed parts before fitting them to the model. It also
made the body and footplate much more accessible to paint in detail. I used
Revel 09 charcoal on the chassis and a light blue mix on the bodywork. The cab
interior had a thinned wash of a cream mix which included the brake column and
driver’s seat. The buffer beams and axle boxes had a wash of bright red over
the grey primer so that the grey showed through. I did not want the paint to
look new but worn. I added rust streaks down various parts of the body work,
from the corners of window and bonnet doors hinges and the radiator brackets. Soot
and grime were added using a black and brown thinned wash applied with a dry
brush, which helped to pick out areas like the side and front grills. Bare
metal and metal components were picked out with a mixture of dark grey and
silver (gunmetal). To finish the whole model was given a coat of satin varnish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">These small wagons started out as a
3D printing job for Unity Gifts <a href="http://www.unitygifts.co.uk/">http://www.unitygifts.co.uk/</a> who
wanted a pattern for moulding a small
ore wagon which was used by a Luxembourg
ore mine. After doing this work I was left with a drawing of a neat little
wagon, quite different from the typical Vee tippers that seem popular. I
decided to do a little rework to develop them for use as 009 models.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">After
several prototypes and a few suggestions, the basis of a series of small wagons
has evolved. Using the same basic wagon frame and wheel arrangements with
different bodies, I have come up with a varied selection of different small
wagons. So far these include a wooden coal hopper, the original ore skip and
two types of metal coal tubs. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps more could be suggested</span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">?

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The
wagons are generally all printed in blocks of 2 or 3 held together with rods
and sprues and all the parts should be removed before assembly. The wheel clip and
the couplings are printed inside the bodies and are easily removed by using a craft
knife to cut the connecting sprues between the part and the wagon body. The
sprues can then be trimmed back flush with the body sides. The wagons are
connected by rods at each end, sprues attaching them to each of the wagon
frames. Again, these are cut flush with the end of the frames.</span></div>

little ore wagons are different in having a body that is also removed and can

are all assembled in a similar fashion, first the wheels are altered to remove
the needle point bearings. I have formed a small jig to hold the wheel while I
remove the metal point with a small flat file. Much easier than trying to hold
them with your fingers. The wheels are then poisoned in the U-shaped saddles
and checked for free running. Sometimes a rub with a round file will smooth the
rough surface of the plastic to allow better running of the wheels. The base
plate is then fitted to hold the wheels in place. This is a clip in place item on most, only the coal hopper has a push fit plate. I have found that some easing of the clips is necessary depending on the
print.</span></div>

only other items to fit are the couplings. If you use the universal ones they
have both the hook and eye with a ball between and it is a simple matter of
reversing the coupling at each end of the wagon. The ball fits into
a split socket at the end of the frames. </span><br />

is advisable to add a small amount of ballast to the bottom of the body of each
wagon to help with smooth running. The load can be added above this either on a
base or just fill the body with coal or rock / ore, them fix in place with some

most of the wagons is done by dry brushing red rust, brown and a little silver
to the surface of the metal wagons. On the wooden hoppers I used two shades of
brown and a little gunmetal metallic to the metal straps with a small amount of
rust colour round these also. The Hudson tubs were finished in a grey wash with shades of rust dry brushed on the sides.</span><br />

might have been “tramcars”. One is a vertical boiler style steam tramcar, based on
an Atkinson Walker steam wagon, combined with a generic electric tramcar, the
other a generic double ended electric style tramcar which can be seen in many
locations worldwide and can also be used as a dummy car or coach. The tram
may have been used on some of the smaller country or seaside tram lines, which
were looking for an economical passenger or mixed traffic tractor around the
turn of the 19th century. <o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have a
print in Smooth Fine Detail Plastic </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">it is advisable to soak in petroleum spirits (paint
thinners/cleaner). This is to remove the oil based wax support residue left
from printing. Next wash in warm soapy water and allow to fully dry which should
leave the surface ready for painting. I use a grey or white spray primer to
prep the model for finishing, but in some areas it will be necessary to remove
print lines from the surface, and this can be done with a burnishing tool. I
use a hardwood stick with a rounded point to get in the tight spaces.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There is not a great amount of wirework on these models, just the hand
rails each side of the cab door openings and at the passenger’s entrance. For
this I have used 0.45 mm brass wire, and drilled out the pilot holes to suit.
The cab handrails are formed as four U shaped pieces which I pushed through the
pre-drilled holes from the outside and fixed with Cyanoacrylate glue (super
glue). The passenger’s entrance has one U shaped piece and one full height pole
fitted between the floor and roof. This can be fitted when the roof is fixed in
place.</span></div>

sides. I have added two small lead weights at each end of the chassis glued in
place, also some strips of lead inside the cabin to each side of the chassis
opening. This has been enough ballast to give the model good electrical pick up
and traction.</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

this is glued with Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). It is great if you have
curved or awkward shaped glazing as the acetate being thin and flexible can be persuaded
to take on a curve by passing it between a smooth round surface like a screw
driver shaft and your thumb. I fit the glazing when building the model and then
fix it in place in the final stages after the painting is completed and before the
roof is fitted. Any weathering is done after the glazing is completed.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

grey Revel No 09. I dry brushed a little silver round the mechanical parts
under the footplate which highlights the details; also some gloss varnish gives
the impression of oil on these areas. The body on these models have been done
in yellow cream at window level and a dark blue below. The impression of rust
was added to some areas of the footplate, buffer beams and running gear with a

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Built by Atkinson-Walker Wagons Ltd of Preston in September 1928 as one of their Class A.3 vertical boiler steam engines. Only a small number of 3ft gauge engines were built, most being of standard gauge. Engine Number 111 was acquired by the Red Lake Tramway in Devon, 114 was sent for trial at the Clogher Valley railway (which I have based this model on). Both were built and supplied at roughly the same time and two further engines were exported. <br />The Red Lake engine seems to have had a very different story to the Clogher Valley engine. Reported as a good engine, it worked on a Dartmoor tramway which served a china clay pit for its final 5 years before the pit's closure in 1933. This is a contrast to the short trial by the Clogher Valley Railway, in which it was found to be totally unsuitable. <br />By the end of 1929, Atkinson-Walker Wagons Ltd had gone out of business, and no buyer was to be found for the Clogher Valley engine, which lay idle at Aughnacloy coach and wagon shed until 1932. It was bought by Henry Forbes for the County Donegal Railway and converted at the Great Northern Railway’s Dundalk workshop to diesel power. It was fittingly renamed the “Phoenix” and worked on the County Donegal Railway until its closure in 1959. The Phoenix can now be seen in the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. </span><div style="text-align: justify;">

I fit the glazing when building the model, and then fix it in place in the final stages after the painting is completed, and before any weathering is done. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="background-color: inherit;"> </span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":200,"335559740":276}"><span class="eop"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span></span></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After initial preparation of the model, it was given a couple of light coats of matt grey primer, then burnished and smoothed, with a final coat of primer to finish off. As the Clogher Valley engine was never given a paint finish, we can do what we feel is right for our individual layouts. I chose to do the footplate, roof lower buffer beam and handrails, in a charcoal grey Revel No 09.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I dry brushed a little silver around the mechanical parts under the footplate which highlights the details; also some gloss varnish gives the impression of oil on these areas. Leaving the grey as the body finish. The upper buffer beams have been painted in a red mixed with dark grey.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The impression of general dirt and grime was added to some areas of the bodywork, footplate, and buffer beams roof and running gear with a dry-brushed application of Revel Matt No 43 grey and No 87 grey/brown mixed.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The final little bit of detail was to add the work lamps and lenses. For these I used 4mm Clear Rhinestones, fitted after the painting was completed.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The steps can be added to each side of the cab when the detail under the footplate is completed this makes it a much easier and neater job 009 models only. On the 00n3 model, the steps are printed as part of the footplate.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished overall areas with a coat of matt varnish. I then added weathering with powdered wax pastels, using mixes of brown and black, to give the engine an overall weathered and unused appearance. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The original Clogher Valley coaches were built in 1886 by
The Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Wagon Co of Birmingham. There were 13
passenger coaches in total, numbers 7-9 bogie 1</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">st</sup><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> class which were shorter

12 – 19 bogie 3</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">rd</sup><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. All the coaches had balconies at each end, which
supported the overhanging clerestory</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> style roof. Communication between each
coach was possible across metal fall-plates which covered the buffer-couplings.
The carriages were innovative in using exhaust steam to provide heat to their passengers,
at a time when the best most people could expect in winter was a warming pan.
The coaches remained in service till the lines closure on New Year’s Day
1942.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The print configuration in two halves cuts down the amount
of support material by a considerable amount and therefore the cost. It still
allows for the fitting of internal details and glazing before the coach is
assembled. It is also much easier to add details such as the etched mesh to the
balcony end frames from the inside before they are added to the main coachwork.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because of the detailed panel-work on these coaches they are
only available to print in Frosted Ultra Detail, this does mean that the
balcony end frames are quite delicate and I have found that they may warp in
transit. Fixing them into position on the model does push them back into their
correct shape, but be gentle as this is done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

piece while you remove the waxy residue, wash and prime the print. I used a
mid-grey spray primer and, once dry, the etched mesh was added to the balcony
ends. I had a small diamond etch that I had bought at a local railway exhibition,
which I cut down to suit the small end frames at each side of the balconies. These
were fixed on the inside of the balcony using Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
A final coat of primer was sprayed over the whole print and allowed to dry.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to use a pair of Kato 11-099 bogies on this coach
as they have an offset pivot, are small well engineered and have a free running
wheel sets. The offset pivot on the bogie was particularly useful as it allowed
the pivot on the floor of the coach to be close to the balcony steps without
the bogie being restricted by them. This does mean that they are the wrong way
round, the couplings facing inward, and should be removed. I felt that this
would not be of any detriment as the coach itself is short, and normal fixed coupling
should cope on restricted curves. I did find that the pivot formed by the
printer can vary in the thickness. This stops the free movement of the bogie
from side to side. I used a small flat file to dress off some access material
at the base of the pivot on the coach, which will allow the pivot clips on the
bogie to engage on the inside of the pivot hole on the bottom of the coach and
allow it to turn freely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My choice of finish was a Revel oil based paint ref SM 331
thinned slightly and I applied two coats of this to the sides, ends and the
balcony ends. The frames and steps had a coat of dark grey Revel mat 9, the
fall plates were a mix of the matt 9 and a silver to create a dark gunmetal
finish. A wood colour mix was used on the balcony floors, and on the roof I
used a Revel light grey matt 43 and white 5 mix. I left the inside of the coach
in the light grey primer finish as this is pretty neutral. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

with a sheet of clear acetate cut to suit the side windows, then glued in place
with Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). I found it simplest to position the
glazing panels and then drop some glue on the edges, this would then run under
the acetate and fix it in place. Apply a little light pressure while the glue
is going off.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you are assembling the coach the central roof joint
will be the most obvious and this can be tackled in a few ways. One is to fill
the joint after fixing the coach together and painting over the joint. Another
method is to use a single lamination of toilet tissue paper to represent a felt
roof covering: fill the roof joint, apply glue over the whole roof, then add the
paper from the centre line letting the glue soak in as it is applied. Once the
result has dried this can be painted, possibly in a dark grey to mimic the felt
colour. The two roof ventilators are then added and finished in with the roof
colouring. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

to each side of this particular coach. The central panel was used to display
the number 10, the three panels under the windows being a good area to display
numbering or lettering. Any style of around 1 to 2mm size will look fine. I used the Fox Transfers FG1003 -
Alphabet in white - Franklin Heavy, 2mm & 1mm which give a nice bold graphic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once fully assembled – couplings added, glazing and painting
fully completed- a coat of thinned matt or satin varnish was applied to all
painted areas of the model. This helps to fix the transfers and pull the whole
finish together. It is a bit of a personal choice, but I do like to add a
measure of weathering to the final model. It removes that out- of- the box
look. To do this I use artist’s oil pastels which have been made into a powder
form. Black, burnt senna (earth/mid brown), light red and orange are the main
colour pallet that I use. It is also
quite easy to mix these to create other shades. They are dusted on the model
with a number 6 size paint brush that is kept specifically for this job. If you
don’t like what you have done it can be cleaned off again, which is what I like
about using oil pastel dust to do the weathering. </span> </div>

wagons Ltd of Preston in September 1928 as one of their Class A.3 engines. After
a short trial by the Clogher Valley Railway, it was found to be totally
unsuitable. By the end of 1929 Atkinson-Walker wagons Ltd had gone out of
business, and with no buyer to be found the engine lay idle at Aughnacloy coach
and wagon shed until 1932. It was bought by Henry Forbes for the County Donegal
Railway and converted at the Great Northern Railway’s Dundalk workshop to diesel
power. It was fittingly named the “Phoenix” and worked on the County Donegal Railway
till its closure in 1959. It can now be seen in the Ulster Folk & Transport
Museum.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to suit the Halling motor bogie at either 12mm for 00n3 or 9mm for 009.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With Frosted
Ultra Detail it is advisable to soak in “White Sprits” (Petroleum organic
solvent – paint thinners) in order to remove the wax support residue left from
printing, then a wash in warm soapy water should leave the surface ready for
painting after it is fully dried. I use a grey or white spray primer to prep
the model for finishing. In some areas, it will be necessary to remove print
lines from the surface, and this can be done with a burnishing tool - I use a
hardwood stick with a rounded point to get in the tight spaces. Do these
processes before separating the print into its component parts so you will be
less likely to lose any of the small pieces. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">With the
Halling chassis it is a straight forward fit between the two pressure tabs front
and back. It may be necessary to file a small amount off the inside of these
tabs or add a shim on so you get a snug fit, but this depends very much on the
printing process and is difficult to predict. The Kato chassis will need to be
cut down to fit, the coupling mounts need to be cut off each end and also the
axel boxes will need to be removed from the sides. I have added two small lead
weights at each end of the chassis glued in place - this is not totally
necessary but does keep the ballast low on the model.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

preparation of the model it was given a couple of light coats of matt grey
primer then burnished and smoothed, with a final coat of primer to finish off.
A base coat of matt white was applied before the cream was added (the grey is
too dark for a cream base coat). After this had time to dry I used a mix of
Revel No 36 red and No 331 red burgundy on the lower part of the body. The cream on
the upper bodywork was a mix of No 5 white and No15 yellow. The footplate,
roof, handrails, lamps and windows were all done in a charcoal grey No 9. I
dry brushed a little silver around the mechanical parts under the footplate
which highlights the details; also some gloss varnish gives the impression of
oil on these areas. The impression of rust was added to some areas of the footplate,
buffer beams and running gear with a dry-brushed application of Revel No 37 and
No 85. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

index marks for each letter I was able to place the individual letters straight
and at the correct spacings on both sides of the cab, the “OE” arrangement
being the fiddliest as the “O” is cut vertically and joined to the front of the
“E”. The other point to note is that there are only two letter X’s on the Fox
transfer sheet. As I was making two models this left me two short. I overcame
this shortfall of letters by cutting the bottom leg of two of the Y’s and
joined them together one part upside down.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been working with Paul Titmuss again this time to
produce a freelance 3 foot gauge Diesel loco. A combination of two small
industrial engines, the foot plate, bonnet and chimney come from a Hudswell Clarke
used at Davyhulme sewage works, and the cab comes from a Fowler used at Marland Clay
Pits. This blend of two small industrial locos has been used to produce what
might have run on the 3 foot gauge Castlederg and Victoria Bridge Tramway, if they
had gone ahead and purchased a Hudswell loco in the 1930s.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We again worked around the Halling motor bogie with 9mm
wheels at 12mm gauge and set at 23mm wheel centres. This did mean that the
bonnet had to be wider than the Hudswell Clarke images indicated and has given
the engine its own look, different from the donor locos.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The plan was to make this a multiple part model - foot plate,
body, roof and radiator grill. Holes would be made for the bonnet door handles
and hand rails both at the cab door and bonnet sides. These holes could be
filled if they were not required, but are much easier to use than setting out
and drilling for holes on a blank model.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

exchange the printed grill for a brass etched mesh to give the engine a more

the footplate.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The wire used is 0.45 mm on the 4 mm scale and 0.33 mm on
the 3 mm scale model, and it is fixed with cyclonic type glue. Note it will be
necessary on the Strong & Flexible plastic models to drill out the holes with
a suitable size drill as the printing process can leave residue in the pilot holes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All of the proto type models have small bent wire handles on
the bonnet doors; these are inserted in the pilot holes formed on the model and
glued from the rear. The cab hand rails have been formed by bending a D-shape
in the appropriate wire and using the holes provided in the cab, passing the
wire right through and gluing from the inside. It is best to do all of the wire
fitting with the body separated from the footplate.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the bonnet handrails Paul and I have used different methods - which the model allows for. Paul has used the three top holes on each side of
the bonnet and added small hand rail posts and wire. I used the four side
holes with wire only, and formed a pair of a D-shaped handrail sections to
locate in the end holes. I then passed wire right through the bonnet in the
middle holes, just sticking out enough to form the mid supports. I have glued
the wire in place and this has made a robust handrail with two mid supports. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Paul has added a level of detail to the cab interior including a reversing lever and brake. The
production print in 00n3 will have holes for these so they can be added to the
footplate inside the cab. It will also have a more closely fitting footplate to
the rear fly wheel of the chassis, which should give more floor area for crew
and details. </span><o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Paul will be building the 00n3 version of the model in
Frosted Ultra Detail, and I will work on the 009 in White Strong & Flexible Polished and the TTn3 in Frosted Ultra Detail. We have both had our own
ideas for the paint scheme on the locos. Paul has chosen to go with the dark green as used on his Clogher Valley Tram engines; this diesel will eventually
be used on the same layout, yet to evolve. I, on the other hand, have decided to
go with a black finish on the 009 engine using what is actually a dark grey
Revel No 9 paint; and a dark blue Humbrol No 104 on the TTn3 engine. Both have
black/dark grey footplates, and both will have red buffer beams at front and
rear. The 009 has a more worn industrial look about it - I hope this will help
to show the very different looks that can be achieved with this print. </span> <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%; text-align: justify;">This has been a very interesting project<span style="color: red;"> </span>for me as it was my first collaborative modelling
project. I would like to thank Paul Titmuss for his trust in me to come up with
the goods and all his help in getting the model to the level of detail we have
achieved. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It got off the ground in September 2016 at the Halifax
Model railway exhibition where Paul and I had arranged to discuss an idea that he
had been trying to get help with for some time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">The idea was to have a simple and interesting steam tram
engine as an introduction to 00n3 gauge accessible to all skill levels. Like
009 gauge has the Kato tram chassis and a choice of 3D printed bodies for tram
engines to get you started. This is what Paul is hoping to achieve with this
model and some others that CWRailways produce for 00n3. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Whilst briefing me on the engine, Paul mentioned that he
would be showing his Annascaul layout at The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum
in November 2016 and suggested it would be good to show the engine off on its
home ground. So no pressure there then, with just over six weeks to draw up,
get it printed, and to allow time for Paul to finish the model, this was good
motivation to get my skates on.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had already done a 009 3D printed version of the “Clogher
Valley” tram engine, so I was familiar with the subject, but this was to be a true
to 4mm scale version with much more detail than my original prints had. </span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our original thoughts were that I could alter the drawing
file for the larger tram engine No2. As this was already drawn up to work with
a Halling Chassis, it seemed an easy solution. But it is sometimes much easier
to start again than pull something apart and try and to remodel it, especially
a C.A.D drawing. So working from photos and some line drawings I started
building a new 3D model from scratch. We had the print done by mid-October and
Paul did a great job to get it ready for the exhibition in works grey with a
few modifications, which we added to the final drawings.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Priming and smoothing is necessary on both Strong White
Flexible-Polished and Frosted Ultra Detail plastics. We will take F.U.D. first
as there is a cleaning process to get the surface ready for priming. Some of
the support waxy residue will still be present and it is necessary to remove
this. First the print should be dipped in white spirits for a short time to
loosen and soften the wax, after this transfer it to some warm (<b><u>not hot)</u></b> soapy water to wash the
softened wax away. A small stiff paint brush may help here to access the nooks
and crannies on the print, then leave to dry thoroughly before painting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">There are two approaches to building the model and both
give good results as Paul and I show. The first is to fully assemble the model
adding most of the details except glazing and cab interior, then prime and
smooth ready for final painting (all paintwork was done by hand on Paul’s model).
The other method is to prime and smooth the individual parts. In my case I
worked with the footplate, the main body, the cab roof, and the oil lamp. They
were all lightly spray-primed in white (to show up the later wire-work clearly).
Then I added most of the detailed items such as wire for pipes and handrails,
smokebox door handles, valve gear, and whistle. These individual parts were
all lightly spray-primed on the model. <span style="font-size: 8pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

plate section of the print straight from underneath, the saddle sits over the
magnet on top of the motor giving a snug fit side to side and sets the motor
level with the footplate. The lower brackets / tabs under the footplate are
intended to be a little tight, on the FUD print it may be prudent to sand a
little off the inner face of the brackets, to obtain a fit that will just hold
the bogie without it falling out, the brackets on the FUD print have been
reinforced to allow for the brittle nature of the plastic.</span></div>

main body of the model. The prints have been done with a set of small pilot
holes to help in positioning of the various handrails, pipes, valve gear, whistle
and lamps. There are more than is needed but these are easily filled if not
required. It will be necessary to drill out to size these holes particularly on
the SWF-P prints. As a guide, the wire used for the handrails was .045 mm
brass, the pipes from the smoke chests on the footplate were the same 0.45 mm
brass. The pipe running from the smokebox to the cab was 1 mm copper on my
version and .75 mm brass on Paul’s.</span></span></div>

As I have printed the model with the bars already in the windows, I cheated and
added glazing on the inside of the bars. Paul decided to leave the glazing out altogether,
which gives a better view of your work on the inside of the cab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

numbers from Fox Transfers which were used on some of my previous Clogher
Valley engines. The names on these engines were laid out on an ark so I have
used a small paper template to assist in lining the lettering upon the ark and
getting the spacings between the letters right. The Clogher Valley monogram of
interlaced letters was created by over laying a C, R and V closely. Generally
“CV” only was used, but on Blackwater “CVR” was also used. I did the full CVR
to see how it worked. Once the transfers have dried I fix them with a coat of
oil based Humbrol satin varnish and apply this as part of the finishing coat
over the entire paintwork on the engine. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 107%;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">This is a method of applying weathering soot and dirt with
oil pastels. I have tried this method on a few models and it does give
reasonable results. Using colours such as black, burnt umber, light red,
cadmium orange and sienna oil pastels, I use a craft knife to slice these and
create a powder. This is saved in a small divided container. I have a soft No 6
size paint brush and dab this into the power and then rub the brush onto the
surface of the model as required. The results gives a scuttle soot, rust and
general dirt finish. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

first trip on the Jersey Railway Company’s line on the 18th June 1923. The
makers Cammel Laird had developed this type of railcar to run more economically
for the smaller railways and branch lines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The J.R.C. railcar was 56'
6" long and weighed in at just over 15 tons. It consisted of a steam
tractor unit with a 2-cylinder engine controlled in the forward direction by
the driver- come- fireman, and in the other direction, a guard had control. There
was a capacity for 64 passengers seated in first or second class. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Three of these railcars
were used by the J.R.C; their benefits were obvious in that they used 5lb of
coal per mile, compared to the 25lb that the company’s engines used.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The model of this railcar
was a commission by a colleague at work, who having made regular visits to
Jersey had learned about the two railways that had once existed on the island.
He had decided to model a layout based on the Jersey Western Railway after it was
re-gauged from standard gauge to 3' narrow gauge early in its existence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">J.R.C ran four 2-4-0 tank
engines for most of its lifetime, a fifth one proved too heavy for the track
and being little used after the Great War was sold on. Three sentinel steam
railcars were also employed from the early 1920s until the line’s closure in
the mid-1930's.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">This was a perfect opportunity
to put into practice all I had learned in developing the 009-gauge version of
the Clogher Valley Railway articulated railcar and apply it to something different.
I would use the same basic set up of chassis and rear bogie as we were still
working in 009 gauge for this layout.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to remove the remaining spurs. I then went about priming all of the parts and
removing any layering that was evident. Fortunately, the polishing process does
do a good job in reducing this, so three or four thin priming coats sprayed on

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I decided to paint the
railcar in the later livery, though it is debatable as to the exact shades of
yellow and green it was painted in. Mixing a pale mustard yellow (Humbrol Matt
yellow 154 + white 34) and a toned down mid green (Humbrol Satin 131 + matt
grey 106) looked a good combination, with a light to mid grey (Humbrol matt
grey 106 + white 34) roof and toned down matt black (Humbrol Matt black 33 +
grey 34) underframe bogie and steps. The interior was left in the mid grey
primer that the whole model was based out in. I applied four thin coats of this
matt grey primer which did improve the surface finish, filling most of the
layering evident on the roof. As I was using a light finish colour, I applied a
final priming coat of white after masking the windows from the inside. Once
two thin brushes applied matt topcoats were applied, I added a finishing coat
of gloss varnish before applying water slide transfers and the coach line,
which I added with a Staedtler black permanent Lumocolor pen. A final coat of satin
varnish over this to seal the whole model. I used a bit of black crushed up wax
pastel to dirty the roof and some burnt umber to give the lower sides and
running gear a used look. This was applied with a soft No 6 size paint brush,
just rubbed in where needed. The good thing about using the wax pastels is that
you can clean it off and re-apply if you like.</span></span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

gauge break van as a small boy of 6 or 7 and it seemed huge, high up, and the
kind of place to survey the world from. That thought remained when I had an
idea for a small brake van for a narrow gauge layout. I wanted to have one with
an outside balcony which to me makes it look the part.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So it was with a utilitarian feel I worked on some
ideas for a break van with a rear balcony, enclosed by small gates, a door would
allow access to the main body of the van for the guards, it would have sliding
side doors as I though it may be interesting in some cases to show the inside
of the van. I decided to make it possible to remove the side doors and refit
them in an open position to show something going on inside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To keep the guards happy with some warmth in winter
or just for making the odd pot of tea a small oil stove was added to one
corner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Like most of my first prototypes I used a Peco 9’
wagon chassis and changed the couplings to the Greenwich type, this works well
when Frosted Ultra-Detail is used to 3D print the body of the van. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">On later prototypes I added a chassis directly to
the van and printed it in Strong White & Flexible polished, allow not
giving as much clarity in the detail, looks good enough when painted and aged
to pass relatively close inspection. This works well with 6.2mm metal spoked wheels
from Parkside Dundas. <a href="http://www.parksidedundas.co.uk/acatalog/N_G_WHEELS.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">http://www.parksidedundas.co.uk/acatalog/N_G_WHEELS.html</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">A small amount of lead ballast was also added to
the van between the wheels, this helps to balance the van making it less top
heavy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I made the rear lamp in bulk some time ago, using
white 1 mm thick plasticard rectangles to form a 3 x 2 x 2mm block and then
added a 2mm diameter disk on top, for the lenses I used a small 2mm red rhinestone.
These are available from bead and jewellery suppliers on eBay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
