More parts may possibly be needed during the course of the project. I will add them to the list. The list also provides a good insight in the cost of this model....

| I took a standard sorting box and made myself a nice cover picture in anticipation of the parts arriving. |
Weinert parts (Friday 3 April 2020) |
 |
This parcel arrived as the first delivery only a few days after ordering. Neatly packed. Unfortnately sent via DHL, a shipper that never fails to disappoint me. They lived up to my expectations. This time I got an email I wasn't home so the packet was delivered to the neighbours. I got that message while the parcel was on the piano, accepted by my wife!
I shrugged and opened the box |
I have learned by now that an order of over €150 can come with disappointingly little substance. If I look at it in terms costs per net gram, I would not be surprised if these parts are more expensive than gold. |
 |
No 8260, hand wheels, three spokes |
 |
8262 Roof lifting eyes |
 |
8290, Brake hoses, I ordered 2 sets, so eight in total as the loco has four hoses on every side |
 |
8292, brakes hoses (vacuum ?) |
 |
8365, bell with clapper, I only need one so the other will find its way into my stock |
 |
8780, sandboxes. I ordered two sets. I completely missed the fact that there were four in a set, so the other set will go into my stock |
 |
8982, grease pump, two |
 |
82016, brake valve |
 |
8934, brake shoes. I here again I missed that there were eight in a set, so I ordered one set too much. |
 |
82017, boiler backhead fixtures. Originally intended for de smaller German standard loco's, like BR 64, I will use the parts in part for the boiler backhead but I will also fabricate a boiler top feed from it. |
 |
87043 Ladders from a BR 50 which I guessed would be just about right and which I will adapt to fit. |
 |
82602, hand wheels 4 and 5 spoke. Made from plastic, which is disappointing, I had hoped for brass parts. |
Tuesday 7 April 2020: de Tramfabriek |
 |
The tiny motors have arrived. I chose the double ended version. Maybe I won't be able to fit any substantial flywheel but if I don't have the second end I won't be either. So I broke the bank and spent another €3 to be on the safe side. |
Wednesday 6 May 2020: Alan Gibson |
|
Six wheelsets, ample crank pins and bushes, and one set of sprung hornblocks (I already had one set) |
Friday 15 May 2020: Philotrain |
 |
870/10701 Sprung screw couplings (2) |
 |
870/50102 Safety valves |
 |
870/10201 Air hoses (8)
I also ordered air hoses from Philotrain which were intended to restock my depleted supply for regular Dutch steam locomotives but I diverted two sets into the LTM 51's box to take whichever is best: Weinert's or Philotrain's |
 |
870/50001 Air pump |
 |
870/50006 Handwheel of the smokebox door |
 |
870/50301 Chimney |
 |
870/50501 Bell with clapper |
 |
870/50602 Tram headlights (4) |
 |
870/50702 Jacks |
 |
870/50802 Cab roof lifting eyes |
Miscellaneous |
|
| Apart from so many parts that need to be ordered there always some general stock you need to have. And what is general and when does it become specific? Brass tube 22m outer diameter and 1,5 mm wall thickness is generally available. But there is no way I would ever use that again then just for my LTM 51's boiler. |
 |
This general stock arrived on 20 May 2020 (from left to right):
- 22 mm solid brass
- 22 mm brass tube
- 12 mm solid brass
- 13 mm phosphor bronze
- 10 mm steel
It really is general stock as I bought it to have it in supply if needed without a specific purpose, except for the brass tube wihich already destined to become the LTM 51's boiler.
As it kept rolling away during the the photo session it really is rolling stock 😜😂 |
