new Roundhouse L&M

[sir haydn]

I collected yesterday and I am very very pleased with it. The guys at roundhouse have done themselves proud!

Now wheres that lining pen.............

 

[Gizzy]

That does look nice!

And it'll be even nicer once you've lined it....

 

[adeshers]

Drool, drool. :love: :love: :love: :love:

Looking forward to seeing a rake of primrose yellow coaches behind it. :admire: :admire: :admire:

 

[sir haydn]

Im afraid the coaches will be LMS Crimson lake Im modelling the later period of the L&M

You do get a hell of a lot of loco for your money!

 

[bobg]

Hmmmmmm!!! :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Yes I doooo rather like that!!! :admire:

I shall contemplate the 'additions' (financial) that might be required to obtain such an article quite earnestly. nphone:

One question is, what about the 'swing' front and rear for couplings, would (my) std Accus cope? :thinking:



Of course it would have to be lined!

Standard gauge transporter wagon on the cards Matt?

 

[Rhinochugger]

Very nice - we want to see the whole lot, peak roofed coaches, transporter wagons etc etc

 

[Ferrysteam]

[Ferrysteam]

I thought it was due out in 2012.

With some rolling stock

Are the chopper couplings yours or suppllied with it, and how does the gas cooker knob on the other side of the loco look?

 

[sir haydn]

the choppers are modded accy ones. the gas knob has been removed and replaced. I am going to reposition this, but with the brass knob replaced with the brake standard handle its not too bad.

 

[Cyclone]

Looks even better than in SMT. Thanks for sharing.

 

[garrymartin]

She's a beauty & no mistake. A bit big for my line though.

 

[Railfan]

Sir Haydn. If you have trouble with the chopper couplings you can add a ball and chain to the coupling. I've added them to my Caradoc and cars since I was occasionally dropping one or more cars on curves. They fixed the problem.

Here are a couple of the ball and chain used on prototypes:

And here is the very nice one that Bill Allen built for one of his beautiful locomotives:

 

[ChessieRR]

Pretty cool. I thought they were coming out in 2012 also, that is at least when my order is supposed to be produced. Maybe someone can post about how they made the transporter wagon in that other link.

 

[Sea Lion]

The first ones were due out in August this year but are slightly late and just starting to appear now in September, there are then batches to be built in September (full), November (full), and January 2012 (spaces).

Looks a good un!

Happy steamings,

John

 

[Elmtree Line]

the bloomin' great big nameplate is the only thing that looks wrong to my eye, although authentic i am sure it just looks odd. Tis a seriously nice engine though and worthy of the pennies.

 

[sir haydn]

Fresh from the paint shop

 

[slowcoach]

Yeah thats real nice. Good job
