I know a few people have struggled to find the Electrotren or Jouef 0-6-0 loco chassis required for my Gladstone body shell and they are getting rarer now. I'm pleased to confirm the Lima HL2314 uses the identical chassis/motor etc to the ones previously listed, and I picked one up directly from Hornby for £65. The only difference is the wheels are a dark red with white lining which you may wish to paint. *Yes I'm well aware Gladstone was a 2-4-0, not an 0-6-0 as explained in the video 🙂
Got to love "Oh Mr Porter" I'm a southern Railway enthusiast and this film is a treasure trove of early Southern locomotives. Gladstone was a Hawthorn engine borrowed from the Kent and East Sussex railway and modified for the film, Changing to an open cab for filming and her tall funnel. They also had a LSWR T6 4-4-0 (Close cousin of the T3) as the express engine and a LSWR 395 as the stolen excursion train.
you can tell that Harbottle was proud of the fact that they had an old tank engine hidden away on one of their sidings. I imagine that the new station master was impressed when he saw her?
There is a way (or two) of making Gladstone a 2-4-0T while still using the Electrotren chassis, and the answer can be found from real life cases. Some companies converted 0-6-0Ts to 2-4-0T with a popular one being to remove the coupling rod between the first and middle driving wheels, which was done some tank engines. Another would need work and that is to replace the forward wheel with a smaller set most likely meant for a tender, pretty much like what the LBSCR did when Boxhill was converted to a 2-4-0T briefly.
Wow great , have you tried liquid glass for the glazing of the windows, it’s easy to use would finish the windows a treat even down to creating broken windows. Looking forward to getting started on mine thanks for all your work
Thanks Paul, I thought about using Glue n Glaze, but it looks form the film like the glass was removed, probably due to the reflection when filming. Certainly doesn't look like there's anything there to me anyway
Have you considered taking off the front coupling rods to technically make the engine a 2-4-0? I know that the wheels would still all be the same size, but at least the front ones are covered by the cylinders, so it makes it harder to notice.
I haven't watched the video but sent it to my Father due to our mutual love of the film. However, he say the chassis is wrong and that it was 2-4-0 and not 0-6-0, whatever that means!! The bodywork is great👍
@Tom Marshall - Buggleskelly Station He now tells me he didn't have the sound up when watching the video!! Silly old fool! I've now watched he video and think you did a great job. Well done Sir 👏
Thanks Mark, I've not done N simply because the minimum order with the factory is 100 units, and I'm rarely asked for N (I offer the buildings in N and have only sold a couple so far) so I don't know if it's viable yet. I've just launched my first O gauge wagon so I'm happy to trial an N if there is enough interest, but it would be a single Buggleskelly design if I do as it's the most popular, and it would be later on in the year. I'll let you know.
@@BuggleskellyStation who are the people with Will Hay standing in front of Gladstone? I have been waiting for you to do a video about the tank engine. I know Gladstone is not a LNER A4 express engine, but can railway modelers make their own version of a clean Gladstone.
@@eliotreader8220 they are the crew from the K&ESR who delivered Gladstone for the film. I sell the body shells unpainted so people can paint as they please, thanks

I've looked at your website and you are indeed a fantastic modeller!

Brilliant
"Isn't she a beauty?" I'll say. She looks amazing.

Lovely model here
Wonderful! makes me feel my age though as I saw the film (as a young child) when it came out!😊
What a great idea and a beautiful model.
Fantastic
Excellent model. Looks great, Tom.
Lovely lines! 😁

Brilliant work - thank you for sharing
Well done Tom, a real labour of love!
Magnificent!

Gorgeous piece!
Good one Ton Cannot Wait to see this if anything like the station it's a winner.As long as the next train has not gone.👍

I explain this in the video, there's no 2-4-0 commercially available so the 0-6-0 is a necessary compromise
@Tom Marshall - Buggleskelly Station He now tells me he didn't have the sound up when watching the video!! Silly old fool! I've now watched he video and think you did a great job. Well done Sir 👏
Better let me go first, she knows me!
Looks good.
Just visited your shop with the intention of getting some N Gauge wagons, unfortunately nothing to be seen. Any chance soon ?

it was two passenger coaches in the film and no brake carriage
This is my model, it's not an exact replica of the film.
Damn!! Any chance I could commission a Gladstone?
Sorry I missed this, you can find the Gladstone shell on my website www.buggleskellystation.com
Would a 14xx chassis put in reverse work for creating a 2-4-0
@LeoCarpenter-n4t any existing chassis is too large. Gladstone is tiny really (the chassis I use is HO)
quick question, dose the model come painted or do you have to paint it yourself?
Sorry for the late reply, yes there's an option for unpainted or hand painted.
@@BuggleskellyStation no problem!
must have been a good steamer to be able to boil water on a chicken's nest and scrap wood and a few lumps of black gold?
It was Harbottle's pants that really got her going.
