Danny's models

A collection of Jubilees. Shown here are Nelson, Conqueror, Thunderer and Connaught. A couple are in ex-works condition the others are weathered.









There are 3 more to come......Hardy, Jutland and Silver Jubilee.....all should be uploaded to UKTrainsim Library in the next few days.

You're spoiling us with this excellent set of Jubilees, but thank you.

Very nice they are too Danny! Thanks for sharing!

Just downloaded them Danny, to add to my collection. The Jubilee's were nice loco's. The very first one I ever saw, when I was about 7 years old, was Tobago. That was at Southport Chapel St Station, in 1951. That's when my Train Spotting career began, and I bought my first Ian Allen Loco Spotters Album (LMS Region). Happy Days!

Hi Geoff, I still have my LocoShed Books of 1952.....I used them to allocate the sheds for this set of Jubilees......still have the "underlines" for those locos seen. I spent my early spotting days at busy Watford Junction......Happy Days indeed.

  Taa very much,they're great and I've put one to work already...

Thanks Roger, it's good to see them being used.

Standard Arthur "Maid of Astolat".   I've always wanted to model this class but could never seem to find the time.....

Well it was worth the wait! Another excellent model.

Although I knew that Southern Diesel 10203 had hauled the Golden Arrow, I didn't know that she had hauled the Night Ferry as well ... recently there was a pic in a Railway mag which prompted this model.

Southern Diesels in Green livery after transfer to the London Midland Region . These are 10201 and 10202 which were not quite as powerful as 10203, and often ran in tandem hauling the Royal Scot or MidDay Scot..

More good quality work coming from your workshop.

Hi Danny

Some super models to start the new year.

Cheers
Mike

Thanks for the comments Alec and Mike.

I'm still progressing some of the locos that I've had on my " To Do List " for some time.....these are pics of Channel Packet and Royal Mail in Blue livery. I always thought that this was the smartest livery the MN's carried, and it was a shame that it only lasted around 3 years...

You are right, these really look good.

I like the Standard 5 Danny, will there be more to come?

BTW any chance of sending me your e-mail address,I seem to have lost all the ones I had.
My one is still the same.

Message for Alec, you're a born model maker excellent stuff. I've bought the Lanky and Yorky loco book (managed to finally find one) So if you've any preferences I'll see what I can do......

Another thing folks I still haven't been able to get MSTS running properly on my computer. I think it's the built in HD graphics that's the problem but I'm not sure. I did however get TSM to run so I can make things but not test them.

Cheers

John.

Hi John - it's good to hear from you again - will send an email.

I hadn't planned to upload the Standard 5 Arthur as the full set has already been uploaded to UKTS Library by Dave Robinson . So far I've only done two - one clean and the other weathered - this pic shows "The Red Knight".



I've also just reskinned this one - a promise to Alec for when he gets around to his SECR coaches.

The H is superb. So is the Standard. Roderic

Mmmm . . I too like the SE&CR loco, and perhaps it's time to look at the carriages again. Variety and all that!

I take it that that's the one by Barry Lane? Brian was also looking at L&YR locos as part of a future L&YR themed route similar to that for L&NWR. I quite like the 0-8-2T "1501" class - built to be a shunting and banking engine. A total of five were built in 1908 and received numbers 1501 to 1505, and although taken into LMS at grouping, only one had its LMS number applied - namely 11803 - with all being withdrawn between 1925 and 1929.

Thanks for the comments. In considering an upload for the SECR H - I might just do a C and D1/E1 in this livery at some point too - what is the general view on MSTS/OR now? I use OR all of the time so haven't bothered to put new models through ShapeFix etc, this makes modelling easier. Is MSTS still being widely used ? If so I might have to consider two models. Any thoughts on this?

I use MSTS all the time. The C, D1, E1 and H all run beautifully on the South East route with good frame rates. Re-skinning them shouldn't make any difference. They are all good, sturdy-looking locomotives. Roderic

John,

If you are looking at maybe doing a few LYR locos, there is a Wishlist here :

https://tsforum.forumotion.net/t1178-msts-helpful-facts-and-links-part-36-lyr-models-to-support-rufuskins-lyr-wagon-models

We have a reasonable number of goods locos, but no passenger locos, so a 4-4-0 or 4-4-2, or even an un-rebuilt 4-6-0 might be nice ?

I have a few of those on my radar, but my current workload is a bit high, so I won't get around to any of those for at least another 6-12 months.

Regards, Brian

Did a bit of research before replying folks.

Danny, I got your e-mail will reply soon. The D1 and E1 classes were never painted into the elaborate SECR livery. They were converted after WW1 and were outshopped in the dark grey livery which the SECR adopted until grouping. The class C's did appear in the green. The last locos to receive the full green were Wainwright's class E (did I send you the model I made?) I stopped working on it and concentrated on the L1 for your route but I still have it.

Alec I've had a look at the book but there's only a side view of that beast that your after It could still be done but without a front or top view I would have to guess the width of the footplate,cab and tanks. Give me a wee while to do some more checking.

Brian, thanks for the link, I too liked Renzo's depiction of the route just a pity it wasn't the LNWR's one. Oh remember folks Darwin has done some ex LNWR/WCJS stock which he uploaded to UKTS. I've had a go at reskinning some of them but haven't told him yet......

Cheers for now

John.

Roderic, I've managed to get the SECR H into MSTS so I'll upload this version. The model differs from the BR version in that the smokebox number plate has to be removed, and the texturing process is quite different due to the more complex livery. Additionally - for MSTS - the crew has to be installed by FreightAnim.

An SECR C Class was uploaded to UKTS yesterday.

Haven't been on TSSH for a while, but it's good to see familiar names keeping the site going.  I've slowed down quite a bit lately, but still like to do a little bit of modelling or reskinning when in the mood.  These pics show Battle of Britain Lord Dowding in it's various forms.

Had to find a new Photo Sharing site......if you click on the pics you will get a slightly larger - and better - view.

Hi Danny,
Good to know you're still modelling

Sorry, but the link returns : "The requested URL was not found on this server."

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll need to find another Photo Sharing site.

Hi Danny,
You can always use the hosting site linked to TSSH :

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks for the idea Ged, I didn't know we could do this.....I did try - managed to attach the pics and hit "Send", but goodness knows where they went!

Hi Danny,
When you click that icon, a 'box' will appear in the middle of the screen; click "Select Files" at the top of the 'box' and you'll see a normal browser window.  Select the image you want to include in your post and click the Open button. The 'box' will now show a thumbnail of the image on the left and an upload arrow on the right. Click the upload arrow, then, beside the thumbnail will be three icons; the top one allows you to edit the image, the second includes the image in your currently being created post and the third includes the image as a thumbnail.  Clicking the middle one inserts the appropriate instruction into your post at the cursor position.  Click anywhere in the editor window to remove the 'box'.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged. We got there in the end.....Thank You for being so patient!

Hi Danny,
No problem, mate

By the way - great pictures!!

Cheers,
Ged

Super pictures! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent pictures. I particularly like thre Battle of Britain in malachite green. Is it available for download?
Roderic

Many Thanks for the comments.

Roderic....many of the BoB/WC locos were uploaded to UKTS by Dave Robinson and Casperdog while I was working on SouthEast, and so I hadn't really considered uploading my versions as they would just be duplicates. I don't think the SR version was included though, so if this is the case then I wouldn't mind uploading this one to TSSH - if someone would kindly show me how...

This thread might help . . .

The rendering of the malachite green on your model is particularly effective. Roderic

Sorry, but I still can't find the instructions for adding Downloads...

I can find the Download page and see the folders that Uploaders have added, but I can't find instructions on how to add a new folder ( Right Click doesn't help for instance) and then upload the files to the folder.

Hi Danny,
May I suggest you send a PM to Justin (j3801)?

When I wanted to upload some programs, he created an entry in my name with, I think, 12 "slots" for the uploads.  I don't know if there's a way for us to do that for ourselves, so, I'm sorry, but I can't help

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks for the suggestion Ged - I've sent a PM to Justin..

Justin has made a folder for me on the Download page. I've also just joined Dropbox, so I'm ready to go....but.....I should point out that I no longer struggle to get locos into MSTS. I use Open Rails all the time now as it's so much easier. Do Users still want this model uploaded ? I can't guarantee that it will load into MSTS, but it definitely runs in OR.

For my part I would be grateful for the upload.

Hi,
Just load them for Open Rails and all should be fine. This is what I do for my activities which are for Open Rails only
Regards,
Stephen

With Justin's help I was close to uploading the model this morning. Unfortunately the Upload size exceeded 10MB and I was unable to continue.

Is there any reason why it can't be uploaded to UKTrainSim? It is a lovely locomotive. I should like to use Open Rails, but I get appallingly low frame rates, whereas MSTS works with frame rates of 59-60 in open country. I am sre an Open Rails version would work in MSTS, if necessary, with adjustments to the eng file. Roderic

Hi Roderic,
If a loco is designated as for use with Open Rails, it's possible that its size, poly-wise, is too great for MSTS to handle.

Your frame rates when using Open Rails should be at least as good as under MSTS. This thread isn't to place to discuss that so, maybe, you could start another, commencing with the full specifications of your PC.

Cheers,
Ged

I'm afraid this just isn't working for me. I've had help from Justin and followed his guide, managed to obtain the Dropbox link but just cannot add it to the Download page.

I wanted to add some models here to show support for this website.
