Nice avatar Phil :thumbup: Just a thought after our little chat... Aluminium with a steel "tyre"? loctited on? Quicker to machine? or not authentic enough? David, you looked spritely enough to me :ddb: Can you point me toward that thread we were talking about with the charity info etc on it... Can't recall which thread you said it was again! :scratch: Been that busy all day I've still not sorted through my new stuff! Got to tidy my workshop up a bit to find new homes for it all :doh: Gonna be a busy next few days! Ralph. |

Quicker to machine? or not authentic enough? Ralph. --- End quote --- Hi Ralph, Not a bad idea. I'm not too worried about authenticity. I had a chat with a guy on the OLCO (Old Locomotive Committee) stand and I'm sure he showed me a picture which showed that Lion had been retyred and the tyres were bolted to the rim. Under some black paint no-one (but me and you) would know the truth! I haven't seen the Reeves castings for the wheels yet - if they don't look that good I may have to make them. I'd love to have a go at casting and could easily CNC the patterns but there are only so many hours in the day etc. etc. Nothing good on TV tonight so we're going to watch a DVD of The Titfield Thunderbolt (they used Lion in the film) - I haven't seen it for 40+ years. :beer: Phil. |
