Welp, there (was) a small collab with Modelu, a place where they scan you, then make you for o gauge, TT, gauge 1 etc, it happened around earlier this year and was limited edition
The joys of O gauge/scale are that you can do all the things yourself like adding your own crew and the coal in the bunker. My newer O gauge stuff (1:48) has mostly come with at least one crew, the others that haven't I've added. you can even superdetail your OO scale with crew and other things. Edit: Fantastic micro layout and kit. loved watching it run!
Very nice Lawrie. Wissy at the Middy; they were good days! If you're after crew, I can highly recommend Modelu, and you can have a mini Wayne and Lawrie made too!
Can't go wrong with a name like 'Captain', really! I wonder of Wissington plates are available from Narrow Planet or something. Nice looking locomotive overall!
Just found your channel Lawrie - I'm sure you won't remember me, but we talked many times at the MSLR last summer, about all things railway. I,m the old lady who was underneath a straw hat loaded with badges and a nerd like appitite for 'unusual' brake van models. My micro model railway caters for plastic nerds such as myself, with brake van rides behind my light engines. Miss MSLR so much this summer. Wissington model is lovely - right up my street - thanks for sharing!
Lovely little loco and lovely 0 gauge layout. There are quite a few 0 gauge ready to run locomotives now including two favourite locomotives of mine a GWR Pannier tank loco and a GWR 14xx. You can also buy a matching autocoach for both of these locomotives.
Now you’re hooked. I have the same loco and I can’t put it away either. And what a cool little layout. Next you can design and build your own. Use an old door as a baseboard. Easy to store and plenty of scope. Cheers for all the good videos
I can highly recommend N gauge model railways they may be small but they are details on the locos and rolling stock it is absolutely amazing to watch them work away.
Very nice. I just purchased a used red version myself. Unusually I found it here in the US. There cant be too many British prototype O scale modelers here. I have several Dapol O scale engines (two Jintys and a Terrier) but this is my first Ixion. Very nice review.
Very lovely - we'll have you on the 16mm scale live steamers before you know it :-) In more normal times, there are a couple of companies out there that tour the shows that scan you in any chosen position (!) then 3D print a little you in a chosen scale. Modelu is the name I remember, but there are others.
The glazing on the fireman's side got broken on an occasion the engine was coaled. Sand pipe got bent when engine derailed and the works have not had time to realign. Looks nice. I think you gave a very honest review.
I'm sure if you send the manufacturer a polite letter explaining your missing part they'll send you one. also, for the bunker, line it with cling film, fill it with real coal, shake it up and down a bit to make the dust settle, and then pour watered down sceenic glue or PVA into it. Once it's dried, take it out, peel off the cling film and you now have a realistic coal load.
@@lmm One of the 3 directors of Ixion is Chris Klein who lives in England and now runs Minerva Model Railways as well, hes on RMWeb fairly regularly and has offered to supply spare parts before. I really should have bought an HC but was waiting patiently for the Dapol Terrier to run on Leintwardine (my effort in 0 gauge). Really like the layout (the whole channel actually).
Lawrie, A very nice model you have there and a nice layout to shunt on. If you want to replace the missing window, try Ebay and look for watch crystals. I have found many sizes and thickness available from sellers located in Great Britain. I used a 22 millimeter crystal for a window in my live steam model of Hunslet " Jack " . The prototype which is located at Armley Mills Museum. Charles M
I took delivery of an identical one this week, and it is superb! I used to have the red one, but sold it a few years ago. I also have the Fowler by Ixion, and that is also a superb model and I do reccomend one!
Lovely loco, I built the Impetus kit for one of these a good few years back. Why not do it as Wissington? I'm sure getting the nameplates etched wouldn't be hard. If I had the dimensions I could do the artwork and add them to the side of my next etching project.
Nice video pal, been doing a Dr Beeching today and ripping up my double O gauge track from baseboard, kept some straight bits and am cleaning them with wire brush with a view to using them to display some locos and eventually have another layout, The rest of it is so rusty etc lol keep up good work.
Lawrie, have a chat with Tom Eivers at Endon Valley Custom Decals- he can make waterslide decals of the painted ‘Wissington’ name for you. He also looks worryingly like you, even down to the choice of wardrobe. I suspect you were separated at birth.
You’ve definitely gone a little more loco! Ixon are a very good manufacturer, their steam rail car which is what we call the “Coffee Pot” in Australia is the only one of its kind and operates in South Australia on the Pichi Richi Railway and is a very good model, my friend has two and they are magnificent models
In regards to the missing window. I am a modelmaker and I like to build aircraft. I use a technique with windows when i don't want to mask them I just leave the clear parts off and then recreate the windows with PVA glue. If you get some on a cocktail stick and slowly build it up round the edges of where the window should be and then move inwards with a continuous motion until the space is full of pva glue then pull the cocktail stick out it will leave PVA glue where the window is and it will dry clear and as long as you give it time to dry it will look good. I hope that helps
I think you should put a Number 1 on it (because its the first Ixion you've owned), and you ought to put the number to the top left of the builder's plate. There is an indent for the latter on the cabside. I've seen that on Fletcher Jennings locos and it looks very tasteful. I would put the nameplate on the saddle tank because with the builder's plate and number there won't be room on the cabside. I like Hawkesbury personally, its the sort of name you'd see on on a little industrial or a Col. Stephens Engine.
'Wissington' was one of the nameplates with the other, darker green version. If you wanted to name yours 'Wissington', it might be worth asking around if other owners have used other names and so still have these as spares. Failing that - usual disclaimer of just being a satisfied customer, etc. - 'Narrow Planet' offer custom etch plates if you have something else in mind, although under present circumstances they have a backlog. They're also now selling off a load of rejected plates cheap, if anything on their list catches your eye.
The detail on O Gauge never fails to impress. Although the detail on some OO’s are great too. For Christmas I got the Hornby One:One collection OO Gauge A4 Bittern and reviewed it on my channel if your interested. My railway is also on my channel and the pumping station I volunteer at is on the channel.
Great to... pretty good. Disappointing. For $L200, you need to inquire about deficiencies, save for the sprung buffers. But, you've a nice little "diorama" to go with it. But, to also agree, for the money spent, crew should be included. John British Columbia, Canada
I don't suppose it's at all possible to find someone who does custom etchings? If anyone has the means of producing them, you might be able to order some appropriate plates to make your loco Wissington. While I am technically not exactly much of an O scale person, I am very much one for O gauge. The distinction being that almost all my "models" are much better described as toys. Few of them have scale proportions, and while they all operate on the same 1 1/4" gauge track, they can vary quite a lot in size. They are also designed for 3 rail operation. The only equipment I have in O gauge that comes close to being a true scale model, is my Lionel 2353 Santa Fe F3. Those models were done very close to a true 1:48 scale (American O scale), and supposedly they were popular choices for conversion to 2 rail for use on "scale" layouts back in the 1950s. Another model I have which _is_ to scale proportions, is a Pittman model of a Lehigh Valley Transit class "C" freight motor. These models were produced to true 1:48 scale, and could be purchased with three types of drive (One motor truck and one trailer, two motor trucks, or one central motor driving dual geared trucks), and came either with scale wheels for 2 rail operation, or "tinplate" style wheels and pickups for use on 3-rail systems.
The use of old redundant box vans as sheds was somewhat common, especially as the small local freight they were used for dwindled to nothing. The chassis would be either scrapped if worn out or reused for a more useful purpose and the body would be plonked somewhere convenient for use as storage, a platelayers shelter or as a shunters cabin etc. Stick a small stove in there with an old table n chairs.
@@lmm At some point Shapeways were having a workshop where they 3D-scanned people. And they run a pretty decent 3D printing service with high resolution materials. If I had a 3D scanner or were decent at modeling organic shapes in 3D I would take up the challenge. But my skills are more in the mechanical 3D drawings.
ModelU do really superb figures in many scales. As well as stock figures, they can scan you and reproduce you in whatever scale you need. They also do GREAT detailing accessories. When circumstance allows, ModelU attend Model Railway Exhibitions where you can 'get scanned".
This and the Fowler are both very nice. They did a Manning Wardle 0-4-0ST in brass that was a rather limited run. For loco crews there are a few folks that can do 3D scans so you could man it with a friend and yourself.

@@lmm - I actually own a number of these O Gauge Hudswell Clarkes. I don't have that lined green one, but I did re-spray a black one to resemble Wissington!
The steam rail motor you mentioned that’s Ixion Models manufactures is a miniature of former South Australian Railways Steam Motor Coach #1 (known as the Coffee Pot) now preserved in running order by our friends at the Pichi Richi Railway in South Australia. Attached is a video by a PRR member showing the Coffee Pot in operation. ua-cam.com/video/FnUKgunKMUs/v-deo.html
Hi Lawrie. OK, so this model has been out of production for some time, but surely they should be able to provide you with the missing glazing (or at least something you can use to adapt. [Serious comment:] I'm struggling a little with micro-layouts such as Scole. I understand the need for a space-saving layout, but there are N (and other small gauges) for this. A single length of track (plus a siding) is one step below an oval track! What is the (genuine) appeal?
Micro layouts have an appeal if you don’t want a permanent huge layout in your spare room or loft. Also great if you just want to operate it for an hour or so and then put it away. I have a small 00 DCC sound micro layout and it’s just an excuse for me to enjoy the sounds of my favourite English electric locos
Fantastic locomotive and layout, I think captin is a decent name for the loco. If you want some decent scaled crew check out hardyshobbies.co.uk/. The chap that run's this site, is also the locomotive manager at the K&ESR just in case you wanted to revew a terrier.
Yep, needs a Lawrie action figure for that cab...
I'd buy one... or maybe several since I own a small fleet of Hudswell Clarkes...

I love your presentation style; your natural enthusiasm is most engaging. An excellent review, my compliments. 👏🏻👏🏻
A straightened out paper clip is every model railway shunter's best friend!
If you're really posh, some dentist tools can work even better!
The locomotive looks right at home on that model railway! Great video :D
I think just a little bit of weathering would really bring it all together.

Will you do the pump trolley at tinkers park now it's been improved
There’s just something so hypnotizing about watching model trains going about their work…..
Isn't there just!
FENRIS HOLDJA!!!! Space Wolf shirt and trains....I'm sold this is my favourite channel now!
Brilliant layout! This 0 gauge train is so perfect with the layout!
You just need a small carriage for it

It's on a pivot and is hanging up.

is the littel shed a box van? :D
Probably, at 11:50 I think you can even glimpse where the buffers used to go. In real life it was probably a cheap way to acquire a shed.
The use of old redundant box vans as sheds was somewhat common, especially as the small local freight they were used for dwindled to nothing. The chassis would be either scrapped if worn out or reused for a more useful purpose and the body would be plonked somewhere convenient for use as storage, a platelayers shelter or as a shunters cabin etc. Stick a small stove in there with an old table n chairs.

When will you do your next live
Get yourself scanned by Modelu for the driver 😊
