Srbandrews Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 I was thinking of doing something along those lines and I agree that probably is the way to go with this. I think I will 'rest' this one for a bit though and come back to it when I've gathered some more experience. I'm satisfied at least that I've done a much better job than I expected to do. Next project: after the Emerald Night arrives I will probably attempt a very small British station cca. late 40s/early 50s or a London Transport 5700 Pannier Tank (inside cylinders ^_^). Quote
Srbandrews Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Here she is with the Emerald Night passenger car. While my loco obviously isn't a patch on the EN aesthetically, I think it is better in proportion to this carriage: I've managed to make a few more adjustments: I got the cylinder level down all of one whole plate. It does make a slight difference to the balance of things down there. I've also rebuilt some of the detailing at the front end, really just simplifying things a bit on the bogie and clearing up some space for the 'rod' axles to slide forward: (This image was supposed to look a bit like Speed to the West by Charles Mayo but I couldn't quite recreate the angle, however if I do ever get around to making a GWR station MOC, I might think about revisiting this idea to make a mini poster for the platform) I've just ordered parts to make a start on a London Transport pannier tank engine, but really want to work on a second carriage for this ASAP.
