excellent work; are these commission builds or for your own use? I have far more kits than I can ever build and rolling stock always gets pushed to the end of the queue

these 2 wagons are for myself
According to the 'L&B Measured' book the 4 wheel vans were lower than the bogie vans. The bogie vans were 8ft 7in and the 4 wheelers were 8ft. So there should be 2mm difference in height. I have kit built L&B coaches stock and vans and they all seem on the high side when compared to 4mm drawings.
Maybe someone else can illuminate further.

As mentioned there should be 2mm diferance in the roof heights of the L&B four wheel vans and the bogie vans. But there is clearly more diferance than that between the Peco and Nine Lines models.
I think you will find that the Nine Lines bogie wagons sit to high above the rails and to be accurate would need to be lowered on the bogies by about 2mm.
If you look at the photos of the prototype wagons the frame is only just above the axle box on the but is noticeable higher on the model:
The problem is that if you try to lower the model the bogies may not turn enough and I think you will find that the wheels will hit the floor. I guess that is why they were made like this in the first place.

That is looking pretty convincing as a teak finish. I think you are putting on a yellow base coat, then brown streaks over it, is that correct?

Hi ted almost
the base is phoenix precision P995 teak base(a cream) & the top coat is P997 golden teak (a redish brown) there will be a full wright up in the mag
to see more of my teak painting see here but it is standared gauge http://www.flickr.com/photos/mozzer36/sets/72157626204019631/
Those LNER models look very good! Evidently your approach works very well. I never imagined it would be possible to reproduce a teak finish this way. I would need to do a trial piece before committing any model to this kind of work. Something to consider for the future.
I will have the 3 coaches with me for tonights meeting of the LAMPOONS at Darryl Foxwell home
Great!
the coaches are all most done still need to add tranfers & glazing but that is on hold
here are some pics

I still need to add the glazing & seating
Whew! That's a beautiful rake of coaches. The finish is very nice - easily the best representation of teak I have seen.

There is a way to get the curve out of the WD Models F wagons.
Unfortunately I do not know the details, but I think it involves hot water!
Perhaps others on this forum who have done it can explain?

I have solded up the to parts for the sides Added the details to the sides I then folded up the ends & added these to the sides followed by the end details
with the floor i cut out a peice in the middle &m joined there togetter using scrap brass I then solded on the iner solebars then the overlay/foot step with this in place i removed the extra on each end
I have also cut the roof into 3 so it now fits the shorter full brake body
the body has been washed & is now drying Photos to follow once dry

what do you all think of it ?? say what you think
That is absolutely stunning, very well modelled.

That is looking pretty amazing.. Well done!
Yestoday (friday) as the coach was running up the valley with mill workers wages Men in white top with black strips & bags marked SWAG tryed to stop the train but failed so today the railways workshop has added grill to the windows in the center High security compartment
so from looking like this

I don't think you have done the excellent model any favours with what look like painted bars.
I think I would have made two spacing pieces for each window from brass, put nicks in the edges at the bar spacing's, and soldered something like 15amp fuse wire across from each nick, painted the fuse wires black, and fixed each assembly inside the coach across each window.
That is assuming of course the interior is still accessible.
Just a though from someone who has never done anything as good as that in his life.
Kind regards,
BrianT.
Are the bars of the grid the brassy gold bits or the darker lines?
My impression was the grids are etched brass. On the third from the left I think I see the stubs where the grid was attached to the fret.
What can be seen might even be an optical artifact (diffraction), particularly the bits that look like the bit above the dot of an exclamation mark or elongated tear drop seen between the bars.
the bars are a etch which i have painted black then glued in
the glue was still wet when i took the photos so looks better now the glue has dryed

If you think that's curved, you should see some of the stuff I get from ForgeWorld for my Warhammer - even AFTER straightening they are more bent than that!
Resin is incredibly easy to straighten, but even easier to over-heat the material!
