Gavin, how would you convert full size measurements to 3 1/2” ?
@ConnorsWorkshop17 Ok, as we have discussed this in messages, I thought I should share it on here for other followers, 12 inches to the foot you multiply that by .062 that will give you .744 which is essentially 3/4" to the foot, if that makes sense.
G'day mate, 2 questions... 1. Could you do a video about the way you signwrite on your wagons? 2. Are all of the coming videos going to be show and tell or are you going to show us all you actually making something? Andy
@andymottram8546 Hi Andy, yes I'll do a sign writing video eventually when I'm sorted with the wagon I'm finishing, I'll only be doing the odd "making something" video on small easy jobs, otherwise video clips will be very long and hard to upload.
Its coming along nicely , i am getting clise to plucking up the courage to start my 5" black 5 Ed ftom modelengineeringlaser is a gem of a bloke he has taken some of my drawings and turned them int usable bits,
Hi, I have only just found your channel and I hope to see you in the new year. As for building locos, I don't have the confidence to make the boiler lol. I live in Thailand now and I hope to build a small workshop soon but I bet it will cost me a fortune to have someone make the boiler for me plus I will have to pay for the packaging and posting as well. I was thinking of making the boiler just for looks so it will be just a showpiece loco but I may end up regretting it. I hope to see more of you in the new year. Happy Christmas
Looks like lots of us have managed a bit of time in the workshop this festive season, lots of good progress and enjoying the updates so keep them coming!
Brilliant!!❤❤❤❤
What black paint are you using Gavin? I’ve sprayed some of the Std 7 tender bits in grey primer to protect them, but maybe I should give them a coat of black.
@robw53 I'm using Upol satin black paint, I order it through Ebay, the coverage is great best paint I've used in ages
Great work and detail. Unfortunately family events are keeping me away from tender wheels and a side project to get my new tool post on my lathe. Great story and not boring at all.
@craigspicer4296 thank you
Well Done Mate your doing well !
Thanks 👍
I think Peter has TIG tagged parts for his Flying Scotsman build, and then Silver Soldered them. I did build a G1 frame a few weeks ago and just tagged the buffer beam and then silver soldered it. You could create some flow channels in the joints with a few strokes of a file on the edge of the butting plate, but I really don't think you need to worry. I do mix my flux really quite thin when I'm doing things like that, really get it to slop in everywhere
@ejparrott thanks mate, I was thinking really washed out flux should do it, I'll try and find a local welder to do the tig bit.
Such a simple but great way to make the steps look really detailed. Will be noting this and making my own jig when the time comes. Great video keep them coming
Incredible attention to detail. Great work!
Looks great. Any chance we can get some more wagon making content as well as the STD 2 as I love learning from you through these videos
@Wiggo95 yes will do, I have a new build coming soon, so new content will be both wagons and class 2
Looking good Gavin, starting to take shape now
@@ejparrott thanks, yeah it's getting there
Nothing wrong with doing it per full size. We now have access to original drawings, modern techniques and a desire to take model engineering to the next level. Keep up the good work!
@mikejack4532 thanks, I'll keep trying
Nice work and a good commentary. Keep up the excellent and detailed work. Thankyou.
Thanks, will do! Much appreciated 👏
Great attention to the real detail. Love this.
@@ninalli thanks
Nice work!
Looking good Gary, coul you put up links to Michael's build ?

Glad this channel is coming back, looking forward to seeing this progress
@garybrown593 thank you, I will keep trying 👌
Love it
Take a look at Michael's work, the standard class 3 build is something else. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057283074956
A trick when calculating the the conversion from full size to 7 1/4. After doing the calculation on your calculator, highlight the answer and hold ctrl and c to copy the answer, then move to solid edge and when you click to add the dimension, hold ctrl and p to paste your answer into the the dimension field. Save you having to type it out each time and prevents errors. Keep up the great content..been thoroughly enjoying it.
Yeah thought of that after I made the video to be honest, such a simple thing to miss lol
Great work Gavin. I admire your attention to detail and I agree that if you are going to the effort of making a loco you may as well make it as close to the real thing. It’s nice to see people like yourself with such passion to keep our hobby alive. Please keep up the good work.
I'm sure there is something I'm missing, but why use this gauge for the model? Based on the standard UK track gauge it looks like it's going to end up being close to - but not exactly 1/8 scale. Is there some reason that it's not exactly 1/8 scale?
It essentially is 1/8 scale, as I've explained in the video I'm going off 1.54" to the foot, using the published drawings from Dick Stockings and works drawing to add the detail, hope that makes sense.
However instead of 1/8 to every foot it's 1/8 to every inch.
@@thompsonlocomotiveengineer8923 Ah, OK - I just got a little confused by the title
For the NRM search engine, follow this link to look up your loco or tender. www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/research-and-archive/further-resources/catalogues#drawing-lists
How would you convert from full size to 5 inch gauge
@connorsworkshop16 divide by 11.25 will give you the five inch measurements, hope that helps.
@@thompsonlocomotiveengineer8923 thank you ever so much I find your videos rather interesting as a young model engineer myself great content thank you.
Great video, just a quick one where did you get the full size works drawings from
You can purchase works drawing micro films from the NRM archives online
I wished my dad started a video diary 20 years ago when he decided to start a build of 78022 in 7 .25” gauge, he’s not building it as detailed as you are, he wants it to be suitable as a passenger pulling loco, easy to run, I’ve got loads of images of 78022 if you need them.
This design won't be any less of a passenger hauler having the changes it will just look like its big brother, have plenty of photos from all the surviving class 2s, what I'm making sure I don't add modern details that has been added in during preservation, and there's been a few.

Silly question time. What's BA? I know its a unit of measurement but I keep coming across it regularly with miniature railways now.
BA is for British Association thread size, very common in model engineering because its closer to scale size
@@thompsonlocomotiveengineer8923 ah good to know ta.

I just wanted to say Hi and let you know you have a new subscriber from Canada. I'm currently starting to build a 7 1/4" gauge LMS 3F 0-6-0T engine.
Thanks for subscribing, if you are on Facebook join the 71/4" standard gauge group and share your build.
@@thompsonlocomotiveengineer8923 I just joined, thanks for telling me about it. I didn't know about the group.
Doug's comments in the ME about the Martin Evans B1 were not very helpful for all the B1 builders out there or those that have built one previously. You don't need to blow someone else's candle out to make yours burn brighter.
You have lost me a bit there but true words, there's no place for negativity

Good to see you back
Thank you, it's good to be back
For gauge would the shaft not be best turned with shoulders so when you slide on wheels they can't go on any further and they have to be 173mm? Fixing can be a cotter pin through axle sounds simple to me but maybe I am looking at it wrong
