===''"Of apple greens and things...Bachmann Tornado conversion 2" ''=== ==WEDNESDAY, 5 DECEMBER 2012 ==   



'''The time has come', the Modeller said, 'to talk of many things. Of chips and chaps- and livery lacks, of apple greens and things..." ''

 I'd had in mind for a good long time a conversion for the Bachmann Tornado model, more or less since it had come out in 2009…AGAIN!

In theory there is very little which needs doing to the Bachmann Tornado to turn it into one of the Darlington batch of Peppercorn A1s, whereas the Hornby Tornado model, though more accurate to the real 60163, is not the best starting point for a conversion to one of the originals (unless you were to mix and match parts to get one of the roller bearing A1s; at which point I think I'd beat a hasty retreat for the time being!)

The only thing which isn't right really is the colour  (At this point, it's worth remembering that both Doncaster and Darlington works built Peppercorn A1s).

The colour  you see on the Bachmann Tornado, being derived as it is from the real thing's livery it carried between 2009 and 2010, was actually a Doncaster apple green shade. Yes, there is a difference (a noticeable one at that) and a much lamented late acquaintance of mine had a particular eye for the <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">colour <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> of the Doncaster and Darlington built batches, commenting thusly that to make it a Doncaster shade you had to "add more yellow".

Certainly, the Bachmann Tornado has more yellow in it than their previous W.P. Allen model (but bear in mind that one model is a decade older than the other).

As it stands in ready to run Peppercorn A1s, we have a rather strange combination of apple greens; whereby the original Bachmann W.P. Allen model is closer to a Darlington specification, and the Tornado model (physically a Darlington locomotive) has a shade closer to a Doncaster specification...! You can see the differences between the two models' livery later on in my blog.

If you're particularly bothered by the shade (and I'm not particularly - hopefully they'll all be too weathered for it to be a big deal), then the only option is a full repaint in any event, and you wouldn't start with a Bachmann Tornado in any event if a full repaint is desired. This conversion avoids a lengthy repaint!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">

The model pictured above, was a second hand purchase for a very reasonable sum. Some bits and pieces were missing or damaged (the top electric light, for instance), and the chimney was cracked through (to be replaced by one of Graeme King's excellent resin chimneys anyway), but other than that I had managed to win a very decent starting point for conversion to one of the Darlington built A1s.

The biggest visual differences come from the use of snap head rivets on one batch, and the traditional set on the other, leading to a very different looking tender and cab sides:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;background:white"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">

So basically I have two Peppercorn A1s that are both second hand namely; 60114 W.P. Allen and 60163 Tornado; both in Apple Green. I am switching the other with another. As I said that the original Bachmann W.P. Allen model is closer to a Darlington specification, and the Tornado model (physically a Darlington locomotive) has a shade closer to a Doncaster specification. I will make the W.P. Allen Model into Tornado and the Tornado into W.P. Allen.

Bachmann decided, for reasons as yet unknown, to make the chimney a two piece moulding, where the top half is either the stovepipe or the rimmed chimney, and the lower portion is moulded into the smoke box. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">

I absolutely despise this arrangement. I loathe it! For me, it has been the strongest bug bear of any model I have owned, and for years I have put up with this strange look at the front end of my favourite locomotive class.

I can only ask "why" this arrangement was thought a good idea, when everywhere else you look, alternate chimneys on other models have been one piece mouldings straight onto smoke boxes. None of this two piece nonsense!

Well, I will put up with it no more! Thanks to Graeme King of the LNER forum, I am going to change all that, by replacing each and every chimney with a cast resin alternative. Graeme has provided for me at little cost, a total of twenty chimneys (and some spare/off cuts too) made out of resin.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"> As you can see, the offending chimney is sliced in half, and this looks distinctly odd compared to photographs of the prototype. I disassembled 6both models down to the boiler, and pulled off the top of the chimney with a set of pliers (the top pops off quite easily), and then set to work filing down the moulded bottom half. In under a few minutes, you are left with this:

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"> Careful fettling of the resin chimney to shape, and drilling out the holes, is vital for a good fit and authentic look.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"> This leaves us with this. The smoke box was sanded down with wet'n'dry sandpaper prior to the final gluing down with a few drops of superglue - applied from inside the firebox after sticking the chimney down and into position with a little Pritt Stick. Surprisingly it is super effective. We then spray it with black paint.

You need to remove this and put it back on the left hand side of the cab. The whistle should just prise out with little effort using some tweezers. That is when you are modelling Peppercorn an original Peppercorn A1. For the Tornado model I drilled a small hole into the cab and then replaced the original whistle from the left to the right.

The Cartazzi trailing truck will be a bit harder, as you will still need to represent the lateral sliding surfaces. A possible solution is to take the full Cortazzi castings, and saw out the plain bearings (but keeping the thin sliding sections; these are the parts directly in front of each box, facing forward, and resembling three rungs of a short ladder, as here):
