meanach Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thanks for the kind feedback, guys. Much appreciated as always. Here's a quick close-up shot of 47714 as it enters Waverley. The driver and his shirt/tie combination are based on a photo of a friend, Graeme Moyes who used to drive the shove-duffs, taken at Queen St in the 80s. Bachmann's rather chunky plastic representation of the TDM plates and wire has been replaced with A1 plates and wire separated out from layout wire, which makes a big difference to the front of the loco I think. Not too much other work needed on Bachmann 47s apart from weathering and sound-fitting as far as I'm concerned though. Graeme.jpg Cheers Dave Hi . I know on the duffs with water tanks there is copious amounts of room for a speaker but what do you do with the ones with the gap! (I.e. Most of them !)

Waverley West Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi . I know on the duffs with water tanks there is copious amounts of room for a speaker but what do you do with the ones with the gap! (I.e. Most of them !) Hi meanach I just use the speaker compartment provided in the Bachmann chassis block below the fans. There's enough room there for a decent 20 x 40mm speaker, which is enough for my needs. A 4-ohm speaker with a v4 chip fitted there gives a decent sound output. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Dave Another great photo, I love the shadows (same a Kevin on the other Thread ) but the shadows you have on the photo looks more like trees type shadows and not something more solid, always great to look at, you capture all spot on!

deltic9014 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi folks, Nipped down to Waverley late this afternoon to see what was about. On Platform 13, a Class 122 leading a 108 was preparing to head for Fife... 122j.jpg 122i.jpg 122b.jpg 122h.jpg 122f.jpg 122c.jpg 122b BW.jpg Newcomer 47714 arrived from Glasgow on a push-pull... 47714b.jpg 47714c.jpg 47714a.jpg Mk 3 a.jpg And, finally, 08421 was parked up, resting between duties... 08421a.jpg Work is continuing on the other Bachmann 47s. More to follow soon I hope. Cheers for now, Dave Dave, is it just my imagination or is that exhaust fumes in the shots of the DMUs? Seriously stunning stuff!!

Popular Post Waverley West Posted October 21, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, Forgive me fellow rmwebbers, for it has been some time since my last confession. Modelling time has been at a premium for a while now for a whole host of reasons, most of which come under the category of "life". However, I've been plodding away on various projects, mainly involving detailing and renovating certain parts of the layout plus a few rolling stock projects. Here are some piccies of my latest developments: The countryside scene has been refreshed with a new gate and stile at the top of the hill... A couple of walkers enjoying the sunshine have been added to the riverside path... A farmer and his sheepdog (Spot) have at last been added to go with the Land Rover. The Landie definitely needs weathering, although I have a kit of a Series 2 waiting in the wings to replace this one. Here he is gathering his sheep together ready for dipping... Spot the dog... A walker has also been added by the gate at the back of the country scene, along with a footpath signpost... A PW gang, dressed in 1980s hi-viz vests, has arrived, ready to start work... A couple of AWS ramps have been added in Princes St. Gardens... Various gubbins have been added to the end of the Princes St. Gardens section, including a speed restriction sign, end of shunt limit sign, various sleepers and manhole rings (based on photos of Princes St Gardens)... Meanwhile the trains continue to run... 47714 is now a regular on the Glasgow push-pulls... 47563 departs... In other news, a 3-car Class 108 has been acquired and the centre car is being readied for service to bolster peak services, along with the Class 122. Three Bachmann 47s are nearly ready for service and just need their roof fans fitting before reassembly. InterCity ScotRail 47491 for Mark (MRDBlue) is also just waiting for its driver to be painted now. The track in the station throat has also be re-weathered as it was starting to look a little tired. I have also painted some little samples of brickwork with various stone colours for the probable repainting/replacement of the station walls. The experiment with downward pointing speakers in the 26/27 fleet was deemed a failure (the sound was great but there was the problem with a change in noise every time the loco passed over a point). They have now all be refitted with sugarcube speakers with satisfactory results. Unfortunately, the summer holidays seem to have just about put paid to my camera, as the autofocus no longer works and even the manual focus is very hit and miss. It's taken a lot of abuse over the years and has served me pretty well really. I think I might know what I'm going to be asking Santa for this year though. I think that covers all the latest developments. Hope to be back soon with more news.

mullie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Farmers kept their landies going for years, the series 1 needs weathering in my opinion, not necessarily replacing. As usual, load of great shots, good to see you posting again. "Life" is really annoying, it gets in the way of my modelling time as well.

Waverley West Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dave, There you go sneaking in photos of the real world again. Those gates and the grass look fantastic,. Good to see the pway gang with the correct hi vis and not full orange and hard hats which is too recent Thanks Gary. Most of them have had surgery of some sort, usually hard hat removal. One was actually decapitated in the process, but he's been returned to good health now fortunately. They've all been repainted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE Jamie Hi Jamie, I was fortunate enough not to own one of those, but I do remember them well on the roads. I think many of them had gone to the scrap yard by the time I bought my first car (1988). Dave Edited October 22, 2017 by Waverley West 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Waverley West Posted October 22, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, Here's a quick project of a scene I've never seen modelled before, surprisingly really - a spotter leaning out of the window watching the loco. Of course, I would never condone such reckless action. The figure is a Dart Casting "Hoodie" with the hood removed. He's modelled on yours truly with my trusty 1980s over-the-head Peter Storm orange cagoule. I know, even back in those days, I led the way in street fashion. They don't make them like that anymore, thank goodness. Here he is arriving at Platform 16 on a service from Fife behind HA-based 47102...

Popular Post Waverley West Posted October 22, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) A few more shots of 47102 arriving from Fife.. The 108 centre car is now finished and is ready for service. The fans for the 47s are now also done and ready for installation in the respective locos - ScotRail 47710 and 47461 and Large Logo 47636. The driver of 47492 has also been painted, so all 47s are now ready for reassembly. Hope to be back soon with some more piccies. The next project on the workbench is the final 26 for fitting of a sugarcube speaker in the fuel tank. Then it will be on to a 150 for (partial) respraying into the original Sprinter livery.

Popular Post Waverley West Posted October 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, With the space-time displacement machine set to 1986, I had a quick trip down to Haymarket this afternoon as the sun was shining. 26025 was on shed between duties... 47406 Rail Riders has now been finished and has joined the growing ranks of Bachmann 47s on the layout... 47492 The Enterprising Scot has also been finished for Mark (MRDBlue) with a grubby roof and a slightly more workaday appearance... 47541 The Queen Mother has also been completed and was parked up on shed, complete with burnished buffers... ...here making for a colourful sight flanked by D200 and 26025... As there didn't appear to be anyone around, I had a sneaky peak into the main shed, where 60009 was stabled alongside 47546... Hope to be back soon.
