James Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 The running qualities were very impressve, James. How many scale miles did it cover? Not too many miles but a few circuits quite slowly! Once it had warmed up it was plodding round with the minerals quite happily - the contrast with my other diesels is very noticeable. It needs the accelleration rates tweaking as what works on a test track a few feet long, wasn't so good on a large layout! But overall I was pleased with its performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 ... it must be nice to have access to a large layout to stretch the models a little from time to time Great work James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've done very little modelling recently - lost all interest in it pretty much recently. However reading an article in BRM (by some bloke about Deltics - looks like he might know what he's talking about...) I be suitably enthused to actually start doing something with a bit of vigour again! A nice little mention in Scalefour News about this thread helped too The boiler compartment is receiving attention to make it a little more accurate and detail is being added to the nose doors. Sadly the poor light today means you can't really pick any of it out but trust me it's there! the central cab windscreen has been made a little deeper. Jim Smith Wright drew my attention to this and if you look at his site it's discussed in the comments here - http://www.p4newstreet.com/revisiting-a-few-locos.html At least i'm modelling again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
