RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 5, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just for a change, another diesel to fit sound to and weather. In this instance a Heljan Co Bo fitting sound to these can be fun as bits tend to fall off and suitably dirty! baz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted November 10, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2016 Latest round of work has seen sound fitted to a Blue Pullman - easy to do but with no EM layout to try it out I hope it all works! And two Bachmann EE type 4s. These are the latest ones and have been regauged (as was teh Blue Pullman) to EM by Mike Edge. Legomanbiffo sound fitted in both and then gently weathered. D333 and D338 and a 3/4 front view of D338 - the gap above the bogie is very noticeable but isn't so when you have it on EM track. Baz 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted November 11, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2016 Bit of track weathering undertaken this week on the Liverpool Overhead Railway on Herculaneum Dock. Mike has posted a load of pictures but this one I like most (photo copyright M D Edge 2016) The "dirt" between the metal track supports uses some desert "dust" from the USA applied dry then ink and water added.

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted March 2, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2017 I do end up looking at doing more than one of the same loco at the same time. (3 Bachmann 08s being a prime example) but I have never had 3 different English Electric Types 4s (aka Class 40 or Whistler) to do ...These were regauged to EM by Mike Edge and I am now renumbering them, fitting name plates etc, sound to two of them then some weathering... first up D211... original front no ladder, awaiting the small yellow warning panel (paint has gone rock in the tin...) D343 - split headcode D396 - single, central headcode sound is fitted in all 3 (client supplied units for 2 and Bachmann pre fitted for the other) Should be complete early next week .

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted March 9, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2017 It was a nice sunny day today so I had a chance to complete some weathering and get some photographs today. These are all in EM and were supplied to me by Mike Edge for weathering. first up a Dapol Grampus modified by Mike Edge an ex LMS Period I BG (Roxey kit I think) and an ex LMS Period III BG The two BGS were in Crimson so are quite mucky.

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2017 Been doing lots of different things on the weathering and sound fitting front recently. Some of this is follow ups to previous work and this bit of work is a follow up to some Heljan O Gauge Blue diesels I weathered a while ago. (Hymek, Western and Class 47) I was asked to number and weather 4 Heljan Mark 1 O Gauge coaches in Blue Grey for client: Starting with a BSK and the end - note the dirt at the lower end of the door A Corridor Second complete with number A corridor First and finally a TSO and its number No real problems but taking a coach apart to reglue a window is fun. The coach end water filler pipework has to be released to get the roof off and, of course, doing this removes the paint applied to cover up the shiny metal they are delivered in.

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 22, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just finished some diesels for a client (they may appear elsewhere on a layout on RMWeb some time).. these were shown clean in post 141 First up a Bachmann Class 40, regauged by Mike Edge and fitted with sound and weathered by me.. D343 and a bit of roof dirt A second Class 40, D396 and some roof more roof dirt more soon Baz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted June 16, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I noticed a picture on a layout thread and thought ..that looks familiar! So, for your delectation I present: D115 a nice Bachmann Peak EMd by the customer, SWD sound chip fitted by me(as supplied by the customer)and then weathered as per some very nice photographs provided by the customer, close up of nose detail and a bit of roof dirt While I was doing this I had another Peak for the same customer D92 is also fitted with a SWD sound chip and weathered to match some photographs. I had a little repair to do but its now unnoticeable And finally a couple of Heljan 26/27s They are fitted with Legomanbiffo sound chips in some of the fuel tank enclosures produced by DC Kits. and Again some great colour shots helped with weathering of these (including a couple in Carlisle.. must get that one back from France..) more roof details Baz Edited June 16, 2017 by Barry O 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted December 11, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 11, 2017 I have been busy adding sound to 3 AM gauged Hornby Black 5s. All have the Locoman sounds on a Zimo chip, all have different speakers(all fitted in the tenders). Interesting to hear the differences in sound from each loco. If I can get a recording of them I will try and add it here. Next up a Hornby B1 and a DJH Caprotti std 5 for the same customer Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
