Re: Lane Head C&W
More progress with the OCT.
And an NBR Fish van has been started. Not sure about Dan's solution to the middle axle. It will get a thorough testing on Clayton, although it is highly unlikely that the prototype ever went up there, so the model will not be appearing regularly on the layout.

Re: Lane Head C&W
Is the middle axle arrangement the same as on the D & S GN 6 wheel coaches? If so, it works a treat for me on reasonable radii, and in modified form on ridiculous radii.

Re: Lane Head C&W
It is Graeme. I think I will apply a little weight directly over the middle axle, fortunately everything seems reasonably square and not sloppy where the cradle slides.Atlantic 3279 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 1:04 am Is the middle axle arrangement the same as on the D & S GN 6 wheel coaches?

Re: Lane Head C&W
I've had problems with that arrangement shorting. I usually ditch it and just use a bit of tube on some floppy wire.
Re: Lane Head C&W
A little more done on the NBR Fish Van.
One thing I am uncertain about with these vans is the livery. The North British treated them as NPCS and therefore they were finished as carriage stock. This I am sure continued into the LNER period, but they did later receive wagon stock numbers and lettering, did they get LNER fitted wagon livery at this point? Or were they painted teak brown, does anybody know? The instructions suggest teak brown.

Re: Lane Head C&W
There's a colour photo of the Yeast equivalent on Mr. Banks' website. It looks a very dark brown but with large white NE.
I'd be painting it red oxide with freight lettering, I think, on balance.

Re: Lane Head C&W
Same livery in Tatlows Book . Mine is Red Oxide.
Re: Lane Head C&W
Thanks Chaps. That was my thought.
I wonder if initially the Southern Scottish Area gave them a coat of varnish?

Re: Lane Head C&W
John, I would go with Red Oxide too.
I would go with varnish on Teak Brown but not on the red, I stand to be corrected.

Re: Lane Head C&W
A big step today - a start has been made on the bogies for the Quint set, which is one of two different Quints that will run on the Shipley MRS Clayton layout.
For Atlantic 3279's benefit this layout, when it is completed, definitely will be LNER era (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13110 .)
Progress on Clayton can be found: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index ... 5-clayton/

Re: Lane Head C&W
The Quint set is based on Dan Pinnock and Frank Davies' etches.
