In part 3 of the DJH LNER Pacific A1 build, we sort out the castings for the body and the footplate, add the detail, have a look at some of the tools we use, and also various soldering techniques. www.djhmodelloco.co.uk/
I just wanted to let you know I hope you keep this channel alive and are able to post in the future! I’ve learned a lot about how to approach a DJH kit. I’m in the US and 30 or more years ago they released a 4-6-4 Hudson that I’ve tracked down and am waiting until I’ve gotten enough skills to build properly. Your channel has been immensely healthful and your skills are second to none!
Sublime ~ immensely meditative watching you work. Music choice towards the end was bang on 👌🏼 Great videos, looks like I've found a great series to binge on. Cheers from Australia aka open-air prison.
The Loco Builder I’m sure it took lots of work. I’m afraid I lose patience too quickly and say to myself ‘that will do’. I guess making a video helps incentivise you to do the job perfectly!
Thanks for a very informative series which has inspired me to buy DJH kit K14 a LNER/BR class A8. I have a question though; do you ever "glaze" the spectacle plate windows and the rear view windows. I have never seen anyone do it but good quality RTR locos are glazed. I would appreciate you help on this one. Thanls.
You’re welcome. You can either use clear plastic and cut to size and fixed in with micro crystal clear, or for smaller windows just use micro crystal clear.
Can you please list the various solders you use, along with the gun temperature and their various uses? I'd love to have this information in table form!
Great video again Tom, very much appreciated. The graver tool used on the footplate clean up looks particularly useful. Is the profile square or diamond, and what size (across the cutting face) would you recommend.
Hello! I know you are a pro loco builder and I got a problem about locomotive models, I wish you could help. I would like to buy a DJH o gauge rtr model how ever I finder on their website is show the large tender loco has a 1800mm, (6ft) min-Radius, I wonder if you have any suggestions or experience on modifying the wheel-sets to make the loco pass though a tight curve, say I would like to have a U turn in may garage with a 1400mm Radius.
