Thanks, I'll try again...

Can I ask another question? I found this site:

http://www.lepty.cz/petr/eshop/3-1-HOe/ ... orove-vozy

And am really interested in getting one of their M21s and the "coach" version of it. Do you know anything about them? Also does the M21 for 1200Kc have a motor?

Nope, it says Motorový vůz M21 ČSD HOe maketa, which means it's an "empty" model. You can also buy a construcion kit for 600,- http://www.lepty.cz/petr/eshop/3-1-HOe/ ... stavebnice

hello hobby from my point of view - Kuber is in ration good quality and good model. for my absolut suitable.
Maketa - it is model without engine - only builded kit
stavebnice = kitt
full model (avg 2300 CZK) is full model (I think whole model with engine)
edit: sorry for my duplication, my Bb is now slow

[hobby]

Thanks! Thought it looked cheap for one with a motor!! Is it plastic or metal?

I have emailed him but had no reply, I will try again!

[hobby]

Still no reply, i may try to see him if I visit next year!

Here's my latest project:



I had seen some photos of the loco a while ago and had assumed that it was an 0-8-2 like the class 83s, but upon closer inspection it turned out it was an 0-10-0! I knew the 009 Society had a Minitrix 9f on the secondhand stall which had been there for a while and next time I saw them I bought it, hoping that it would be close enough to make the model...



After getting the loco back home and then obtaining the drawings i was pleased to see that it was pretty close... The tender wheelbase was pretty much spot on and whilst the driving wheels were 0.5mm too small (the real ones were 800mm diameter) the large flanges made up for it. A chat with Paul Windle at Warley confirmed that he thought it looked feasable and I decided that I'd try to build it myself...

It isn't going to be an exact scale model, but a (hopefully) good approximation...

I have started with the tender...



It was very lucky that the tender chassis is such a good match as it also includes pickups on the outer wheels as the loco chassis has traction tyres on the rear two axles. A fair bit of cutting of plasticard later and here's the original and photos of first part of the loco to be completed:




(Sorry, I have stuck to English as it is quite complicated, I hope this is ok!)

hobby - well .

[vojtas]

It looks so good...

[hobby]

The engine...




As expected the securing of the chassis to the body was a bit of a nightmare due to the lack of places to put a screw at the back. As you can see the rear of the 9f's cab fits into a hole of the right size in the back of U57's cab. I'll cut back those strengthening pieces in due course. The chassis slots into the hole and the screw which holds the front of the chassis plate has been lengthened and now screws into the bottom of the smokebox at the front. Despite the rather crude way of doing it it does hold it quite well... Now I will move onto the detailing bits on the boiler and the cab roof...

Engine and tender:

Youu are a good modeller,i think,it will be a ver good model.

[hobby]

Temporary chimney, no cab roof and the dome needs "bedding in"... I love painting in grey primer to see all those defects you can't see properly otherwise... Like those cab windows in the second photo...




Someone on another forum mentioned how it looks compared with the Px48, so here's the comparison shot... Bear in mind the Px48 has the bogie tender which makes it nearly the same length!

Wow!

Díky , Milán , říkal jsem , že dříve "Sorry, I have stuck to English as it is quite complicated, I hope this is ok!"... Však já to zkusím ale bude pouze tak dobré jako počítačových překladů ! !

Je Loco používá minitrix 9f podvozku ( stejný jako ten starý br51 Myslím ) . To není exaktní měřítku model jako podvozku neumožňuje . tělo je vyrobeno z plasticard s nějakým Instalováno v mosazi a mosazných kotle . Vždycky jsem sprej moje modely v šedém Čítanku , ukázaly se některé věci potřebuji lépe . Okna v kabině a mezery v parní kopule . Budu potřebovat maluješ v modrém ! Začal jsem to asi před 10 dny , takže to byl docela rychle . Pokud chcete ptát , prosím !

I think the blue might be a shade too dark, but we'll see when i have time to think about it... How I dislike close-ups!

Myslím , že modrá může být o maličko příliš tma , ale uvidíme , až budu mít čas na to myslet . . . Jak ale nemám rád nablízku !

Very nice work!!
