Hi Alan.
I can get the web page to load ok,but the images fail to appear for some reason.
I went to the show on the Sunday and it was excellent.

I have added some more photos, kindly sent to me by Ray Coyle.
Same link as above, just more pics to look at.
Shawki, I think it is a Hall, but might be wrong.

its a star, churchward locos have a cutout in the cab side sheets whereas collet locos have sliding windows. plus you can see the ends of the inside piston rods meaninf it a 4 cylinder loco.

Thank you for the information ,I knew was GWR and 4 cylinders but was not sure which one as both King and Castle have distinctive steam pipe ( not easy to make ) ,it took me a long time to make it for the King . I have the book GWR STARS,CASTLES AND KINGS and forgot about it. Now that you mentioned the Star I got the book out and checked and think you are wright it is a Star .Thanks again .

Finally got the pages and pictures to load.I'm still not sure how I managed it! The loco in question is definitely a model of the GWR Star class-4017 'Knight of the Black Eagle'. There was a part complete 5" gauge Castle chassis on one of the society stands. Below is a detail photo I took of the 'Star' loco.  |

There is just something about a fully detailed engine that i love. I have nothing on these guys but so long as have tried my best that is what counts to me.
Using these models as a benchmark hurts my pride ;D

Alan,
There is a picture on page 3 bristol162.jpg with a weird looking pipe and a spark plug. What is that ?

Its a pulse jet, you can build them with rear facing inlets to save having to make in inlet valve reed plate. Lockwood is what they are called, if you are a Scrapheap Challenge watcher you may remember them building one on a show years back.
Google 'Bruce Simpson' and follow the Wiki links around.

Awsome!
Takes hobby rockets to the next level.
Makes think back to a discovery channel eppisode i saw once with these hard core model rocket guys launching 16pound bowling balls through the clouds.
I was wondering what government dept would allow this! These things were awsome!

Check this out then: www.spudtech.com/I used to work with a guy who was into these. He could launch a King Edward a few hundred meters! |
