37 forum posts 13 photos | Hello All, So I was kindly donated a part built Titch earlier this week, from a member of our local club. The gent who donated it says he is not likely to do any more work on it, and he started it almost 20 years ago. There are no materials with what he gave me, and unfortunately only part of the plans. However, he did include He also gave me the book Simple Model Locomotive Building: Tich by "L. B. S. C."
Re my skills, I have build an ok-running Stuart10V, and have a Stuart S50 kit waiting to be built. I've also made several other things, including a boiler, but this Titch engine is definitely going to be my most complicated build.
OK, so now I have set the scene, I have some questions to all you fine people: 1) How long would the Titch take to make? I know this is very open-ended. I work, (event through Covid luckily) so will probably only manage ~10-15h/week of building time. 2) Does anybody have any plans they would be willing to share? Digital or physical. 3) There seems to be several variations on the model also. Walscharts valve gear vs internal excentric, Normal vs Large boiler, plus several other variations. He has already started the Waalscharts valve gear, so I will be sticking with that. What other variations should I be considering?
Many thanks for your time. Kindest regards, |
