J50 in the workshop

Post by mickrik »

Hi There,

Here is something I am working on, a bit here and a bit there in between other things.



There is still a lot of work to do. I am working from only a sideview drawing and some photos so I hope I am getting the proportions right.

Hi Jimmy,

Hope you are ok.

Yup a J50, but work has stalled as I finish off a J36 or 2.

I will finish it promise but I have so much work to do.

The project list with some models such as the J36 in partnership with Cardean

J36
C15/16 ex-NBR
J50
D11/2
CL29 ( a diesel gulp!)
plus I need to prepare some activities for Scottish Central

I would also love to build the following Locos

A fresh New Crab
Super D or G2a
J37
N15 ex-NBR
J83

This could take a couple of years :crazyeyes: :o :crazyeyes:

I hope you have some patience.

Mick

LOL Mick! Keep it up. I have a class 29 sat on my HD that Mick Sasse built ages ago. We included it as an AI only with the class 17 pack we did. I did mean to upload an eng file for it to make it drivable, but never got round to it! :oops:

Hi Jimmy,

The CL29 will be my first and probably only Diesel. I will be glad of any help while I build it, such as an engfile (creep creep).

Regards

Cheers mate

Hi Jon

probably re-engined, I don't think they kept the originals very long

I will have to see how it goes as there were no doubt some small physical differences between them

I think I will start a new thread when I start building it so you can all help me along with it.

Hi Ben

Rick is a realy good man and has been very helpful, the engfiles for the Caley locos are superb and defianately not like driving a Scotsman

If you need any referance pictures for the class 21/29, give me a shout. You can probably make either a 21 or 29 from the same model if you make a couple of interchangable parts in the roof. IIRC they turned a window into a grill too on the 29.
