Jam Fjord@SCM Data suggestionsSCM Topic: Junior 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter
Hi all, I would like to propose a name change to the above Topic. As a prototype I can't see any evidence of a 'Junior 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter' existing other than in connection to the fictional 'Thomas the Tank Engine' series, but the kits matched to the Topic currently all represent the following vehicle:
'204HP 0-6-0 Drewry Shunter'
which is what I propose the name be changed to.
I have already corrected some of the Topic info (eg manufacturer: Bachmann, who make models, to Drewry Car Co Ltd), and added the appropriate synonym (British Rail Class 04).
There is also a Wikipedia page for this vehicle, although this page uses its later TOPS name of 'British Rail Class 04' - is there any to link this page to the Topic as well?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_04
Happy to provide any further info if needed.

Jam FjordIncidentally, I forgot to mention that the Wikipedia page above states that the Kitmaster/Dapol kit is indeed based on the BR Class 04 aka 204HP 0-6-0 Drewry Shunter.
I still haven't been able to find any information stating that a 'Junior 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter' is a real vehicle.
11 September, 11:35
Jam FjordJust following up on this. Are topic name corrections helpful or should I avoid suggesting them?

Monahi ,it's still in the mock up stage ..had to make a new frame from styrene .. 🙂
7 February, 19:00
Monathank you I've been thinking about this one for a while ...so many truck videos lol 😉
7 February, 19:07
Monahi David , not sure some would consider this scratch building (more like crap building)..as I haven't made detailed drawings with foot notes and appropriate scale reduction calculations ...lol
7 February, 21:32
David TaylorWhen I did my Saxon apc.I had to measure then multiply by2.18 to get the correct size.That measurement is etched in my brain..
8 February, 16:10
MonaDavid ...a few years ago in Fine Scale Modeler ,there was a article with two scale charts .. which I saved and lives on the same peg as my evergreen styrene ..and last year sprue brothers enclosed a scale card with the orders ..
8 February, 21:04
MonaHI , Tini ..its going to be a Kenworth 6X6 ..a field modified "farm truck" with high floatation tires , inspired by a u-tube video of " Charlie's un- finished farm truck" ....and also KrAZ 255b videos
8 February, 21:10
BozzerFloat tyres (tires) are available aftermarket. Personally, I like the look of them, on certain trucks. Just make sure that they fit your rims, because a lot of stuff is 1/24 and that definitely makes a difference! I think that Jamie, from Molenium (unsure of the spelling) sells both versions, and supporting rims? You did catch my eye with that camelback tandem though. I can only imagine where you got that from?
13 February, 22:29
Mona@ David ..I tried to keep the pinion angles realistic although front drive shaft kinda long
regretting not doing u- joints before fixing in place ..something to work out
14 February, 01:27
BozzerMona, H channel, cut, trimmed and shaped, with a pinned T joint middle. You're welcome 😉
14 February, 03:04
Jonathon HerringDang (stronger language was the first to come out)! The force is strong with you! 🗡️seriously gotta keep an eye on you. Inspiring! Thanks Mona.
15 February, 12:53
Jonathon HerringTry ST Supply for aftermarket too. Moluminum tends to not have things in stock. Paul @ ST constantly has a rotating supply as well as a diverse selection. Takes a minute for the stuff to show but, I'm New York and he's Canadian so, expected.🤷♂️
15 February, 12:58
Jonathon HerringGot my towel handy and I finally know the answer. 41, no….43, no……spaghetti squash! 🤔 Might have to start over
15 February, 17:45
BozzerAnd definitely don't leave home without your pants! It's fine until you run into a friendly German Shepherd. Then, all hell breaks lose!
Speaking on behalf of a "Friend"
15 February, 21:01
MonaOH , Bozzer ... pants 😉 lol ..from a individual who has crawled thru the snow ..on her hands an knees ,wearing a mini skirt and over the knee boots ..(searching for my car keys) that's when running into a friendly person with a german shepherd ,could be not good, woof woof! ...
15 February, 22:43
BozzerLmao! And that's the other reason why I love Scalemates! We can all be adults, and even kids, but the banter is strong, and definitely light-hearted and welcome, at times! It's not all plastic and politics. We just have a good time, with a few smiles thrown in, for good measure 😄
15 February, 23:19
MonaWoof.....that's my other dog impression (well thats my story I'm sticking to it ,Lol ) 😉
16 February, 01:07
Jonathon HerringThat was dead on! Sounded just like my dog. Your impressions are spot on. Now……hold on! I have a dog?! 🤪
16 February, 12:45
MonaJonathon, I checked out the site for ST Supply (Paul's Truck parts) ..looking forward to placing a order. 😉
16 February, 15:32
Jonathon HerringTotally understand. During the winter (slow time) my purchases are light but, the rest of the time, I order at least monthly. He has product that is hard to find and I believe he may even cast some stuff himself. I say this because things will come back up that aren't around before or elsewhere. I check on him weekly.
16 February, 15:48
MonaI was hoping he had a few items, more of the tires I want ..but supply an demand .. i shall order what is possible an then check back ...no hurry
16 February, 19:46
BozzerLol, Mona is becoming a truck junkie.
Seriously though, with the amount of amazing aftermarket parts, it's extremely hard to control your urges! If I can't find what I want, I try to print it myself. The problem is, I start to look for something, then see something else, buy that, then something else I see, before I know it, I've got a drawer full of stuff, and I still don't have what I needed in the first place?
Self confessed truck junkie, myself.
17 February, 09:18
MonaI've enough kits (various) to build ..that I can't possibly finish really no reason to buy more but yup ...junkie and your right about them aftermarket detail items ... they do seem to be the difference to a nice build of a marginal older kit, that and a element of practice ..I haven't the desire to 3d print ..and if I did I would print dash air ducts ..for the 68 beetle in the garage
17 February, 16:08
BozzerJust wait until you see the CTM stuff! I gotta admit, I keep tissues handy, when I browse through their website! To catch all my drool! Some of those dashboards, look better than on the 1:1 version. PE isn't my strongest point, but I intend on treating myself to a PE bender, and getting my big boy pants on.
17 February, 21:29
Jonathon HerringTrue to the CTM comment Bozzer. I have always been a PE fan, where applicable. Eduard likes to make grab handles that are 2 dimensional so I end up replacing those with brass or styrene. Their dash boards were fantastic but have been out shined by 3d decals. CTM has been bought for as many kits that I have and they make interior sets for. I tell ya, I could spend tons of money on just their PE. Like, exhaust clamps?! Really?! 🥹 thanks for the details but, am I gonna end up in the loony bin? (Say nothing😏 Just move along. Nothing to see here)
18 February, 16:30
Martin OostromI've got a couple of these in the fridge hertogjan.nl/bieren/grand-prestige/
21 February, 18:39
BozzerI'm already tucked into my Carlsberg, but I have a nice single malt, just for a nightcap. Looks like Mona has got a party started.
21 February, 19:01
MonaWow ! 👍 that a great Idea ...its been a while since I've drank a beer or any alcohol , I'd have to go with a Labatt's .....but Mezcal (ice cold) would really be my choice
21 February, 19:43
Jonathon HerringOh, how I miss the hoppy, delightful complexity of brew. Had no choice but to give it up.😭 Dr's orders. I will live vicariously through all of you. Crack one for me.
21 February, 23:02
BozzerYou got it Big J! Holy moly, we got us a designated driver for the Disco Bus!
All we need now is a chef for the BBQ?
21 February, 23:39
Monawishful thinking on my part too , been a while for me ..had a hard seltzer few years ago but ..younger days
22 February, 03:35
Jonathon HerringMe?! Drive?! I can only drive the short bus to the psych ward 🤪. At lest that's what my dear departed wife use to say. And I could do it professionally. I quote " You are certifiable and will drive everyone crazy". That, and my Mom says I'm a keeper…Woo Hoo!🎉🧨🎆🎇
22 February, 11:58
BozzerDon't worry guys, you're in good company. Us British drink beer for breakfast, and our cousins over the water, love a good beer! After all that ale, we won't care who's driving, or where we're going? Won't be the first time, I've woke up in a strange place? It's finding my clothes after, where I always struggle 😉
22 February, 12:40
MonaHi 🙂 Ahmet .. thank you, yes I made the frame, transfer case & driveshaft and modified the front springs . I over did it on the front springs ..and the front driveline should be different, But overall its reasonable ..may not be "accurate" though
26 February, 18:24
MonaHi, Bozzer ...sure I will take a few ..one Detroit 8v72 coming up, if i did better planning I'd would have ordered a 12v ..or a big CAT engine ..maybe in another build
26 February, 21:15
Jonathon HerringMona: accuracy is in the eye of the……fooie, 👅 did ya have fun? That……… that's what matters. If anyone says anything, tell them that you have it from a PNWW (Professional Nitwit With a Wrench🤪) that trucks can be special ordered to the specifications of the buyer. You are the customer in this case. If you're gonna weather it, working trucks are "Consumer Adjusted" constantly. Hell, before we let them go (sold or dead) we have many "adjustments" on each and every one. We are hard on trucks.🤷♂️
26 February, 21:23
BozzerThanks Mona. I've gotta agree with Jonathon. Everything was/is ordered to customer spec. You can literally build your own truck! The dealer gave you options, and helped you get the truck you wanted, for your needs? Engine, transmission, axles, diff's, trim, sleeper, you name it? I've seen many a Mack, with a Cummins in it, and even a few Detroit's. Nothing is impossible, when it comes to haulin gass 😉
26 February, 23:44
MonaI noticed that from the Kenworth site and the various "history of" videos on the u-tube .. so I figured I had room for creative liberty 🙂
27 February, 02:55
Jonathon HerringOh God! People agreeing with me is scary. Have I apologized yet? Remind me to🤪
27 February, 13:06
BozzerCredit where it's due mate.
And encouragement is always welcome here. Personally, I love some of the links that get shared, of wild and wonderful trucks and cars? Gets the old grey cells ticking, and before you know it, another build is underway!
27 February, 13:14
BozzerMona's got my juices flowing too. I had a little tinker in the Mancave myself, yesterday.
11 March, 12:50
Jonathon HerringBozzer is at the Bench! Awesome! Been very busy myself. Not with my "Down and dirty" build but, felt the need to do a fast out of the box build and the March Madness Group Build is pushing me to accomplish something without getting bogged down by minutiae 🫨 Just need to feel an accomplished model under my belt 😏
11 March, 14:09
Monathank you Bozzer, Jonathon, gorby and Martin been thinking about this for a while ..I managed to get the windshield and windows in without any fuss 👍 ....Bozzer it's time to to be buildin'
11 March, 20:44
BozzerMona, I promise that I'll break out something special, just to christen the new cave! I'm just waiting for the flooring guy to get back in touch and I'm going "All In"
11 March, 21:22
BozzerOhhh, I'm gonna need a wetsuit!
This is beginning to feel like an epic construction, of plastaholicism!
25 March, 22:24
Monaa bit more to fab ...much of which under the rotating platform a drive shaft from the hydraulic pump to the PTO and a reservoir tank. yes a epic build at the moment (lol) 🙂 I keep practicing maybe someday I shall build something worthy of entering in a local event ...I been thinking of joining the IMPS 👍 😉
25 March, 22:49
Monathank you guys 🙂 ....can't believe I typed IMPS ..instead of IPMS, guess that's the long term effects of glue 😉
26 March, 04:28
Monahi bozzer no it is parked safely in its box ..waiting its cue "in my cluttered work space" I was waiting for the release of the movie Furiousa to determine what to change or modify ..I shall get to it very soon. been working on the Lotus, Oh forgot to tell ya the RubberDuck has passed, another sad day
30 September, 23:05
BozzerBelieve it or not, I watched that movie on the plane, to the states, recently. A bloody excellent film, that explains the story of her! She was a very pretty young woman, until she got angry with the world.
Sadly, I did hear about the Rubber Duck 🙁 That's another reason to get back into my cave. Time to start clearing up my unfinished projects, 10-4
1 October, 05:35
MonaI am hoping to get Furiousa on dvd so I may see the rig over and over in a convenient format , my esprit kit is the ..unfinished project of projects 46yrs ..time to complete it.. a song and the stripes on the Freightliner motivated the most recent mojo ..catch ya on the flip side
