Hello Paul, I'm pretty sure that is a North London Railway passenger brake van as it has the distinctive 'birdcage' lookout. The NSR had none like these. Roger Cromblehome [Apphagraphix] does a nice

The full brake looks like a North London Railway example to me - the raised birdcage roof and the distinctive raised oval sections on the doors are what were found on most (if not all) North London

Thanks both. Any idea on diagram numbers to start searching? ? The Worsley etches are for bogie carriages so too long but the van is a six wheeler. No photos anywhere to help though!? I will contact

Worsley Works lists some North Staffs carriages. The full brake looks like a fairly standard Ashbury product, with the oval panels on the door.? Kits of other Ashbury users (North London Railway,

Paul, To answer your questions yes there are drawings they are in the NRM and the HMRS archives. As for kits/etches I have never heard of any. And with the way things are going in 7mm standard gauge

At Hulme End, terminus of the Leek and Manifold there were two grounded North Staffs four wheel coach bodies. ?My expertise is decidedly lacking on NSR vehicles and I need some help as I am modelling

The thing to remember from an engineering point of view, anything designed to rest on 4 points in a rigid configuration will only ever rest on 3 points, because the odds required to have a surface

Thanks Adrian. I must admit I've not previously given a great deal of thought to springing except where I've found bodies too slack on bogies. Food for thought. I think you've just presented me with

I have post some photos of the first bogie I have completed, the bogies are fully sprung as per the prototype axle drive boxes are NWSL although I am not impressed with the quality of the boxes as you

Paul is probably right about there being little need to compensate short wheelbase vehicles - that is provided the axles are parallel in all planes (across the vehicle and along the vehicle) and that

Hi David When I started my coupling trials which were the genesis of Zamzoodled (The Mating Game REVIEW 86) I pushed and pulled rakes of 3 wagons around the 85ft full circuit and recorded success or

Thanks Paul & Brian. I too wouldn't normally entertain adding compensation to what are in their own right fairly chunky wagons (my Decauville struggles to pull just one loaded with whitemetal

AS far as compensation goes you can always resort to what the prototype use and that is to use rods to hold the wagon together, obviously this only works with wagons that are diecast so they have

Hi David I personally do not feel the need to compensate rolling stock at all in 014. The flanges are the same as 00 finescale and unless the track is awful (either in error or by design) then it

If rolling stock is directional, e.g. has choppers at one end only and therefore tends to run the same way in a given rake, is there any advantage in making the fixed end in compensated wheel sets the

Hi Bruce and John.? So they have now uploaded successfully into the photos section as 1876 Festiniog train, but I cannot get them into the HOF Wiki section. They are on my Flickr account as both full

Which didn't work - I'll try and find out how to add to do it John
