started on an electric version of Dave Watkins'
Wild Rose.

Yes I do. The locos started out as the Dave watkins design but are having mods made such as working stephenson link valve gear.

I'd love a live steam quarry hunslet but my dad currently has a battery powered one under construction from my laser cut desgin. I might build myself a cabbed one to! I keeping telling myself I'll get a live steam one eventually...

They look awesome! I too will be using dave Watkins drawings with modification.... I'd be interested in your drawings for the Stephenson valve gear if you can get it working.... Having a cab and Rc would be fun. My others will be slip valve gear.

Its going to be a learning curve. I will be using the book I suggested to you for the valve gear to try and work it all out. I also have some photos in a book that's arrived today all about quarry hunslets.
Best wishes

I have a Locomotion Cackler and an Accucraft 7/8th hopefully due in a couple of weeks. I would like to build a Wild Rose, I do like Hunslets.

It's probably worth me mentioning the Hunslet day being held by the Birmingham model engineering society on the 14th July. If u want one or own a model of one in any scale it's gonna be a day to be at.

My dad built it years ago. It's currently on loan to western steam as they needed a show loco made from the drawings they bought. They also have dorathea as they are planning to do her as a kit aswell. Check out their website: http://www.westernsteam.co.uk

You cant beat a nice hunslet.

I have 3, one tony sant finscale port class, a 'wild rose' quarry just needing the body work and a 5" gauge don young quarry.

Sir Haydn, will you be attending the Hunslet day?

Sir haydn · Post by **Sir haydn** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 6:32 pm

LnBmad · Post by **LnBmad** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 7:02 pm

Do you or your dad have any information on when the Western Steam locos might appear? The August and December dates shown on the web site refer to last year...!
