Weathering and sound... at last!

Been busy with a bit of sound fitting and weathering over the last couple of days.

 

A couple of examples

 

First up a Caprotti 5 from a Comet Kit built and painted by Steve Haley Graham Varley. I fitted a Loksound V4 (sound from Digitrains) chip in the tender and 2 sugar cubes in the front frames (isn't EM gauge wonderful sometimes?) and then weathered it.

 

Question - were any Caprottis ever kept clean?

and for something different a Heljan CoBo - re-gauged by Mike Edge to EM. I fitted a Loksound V4 (sound from Digitrains) chip in the body and two sugar cubes in the fuel tank.

and the other side

I replaced some of the Heljan pipework as it is too flimsy to survive very long

 

In addition a trio of Bachmann Mk 1 have been rewheeled to EM, couplings added and weathered

Already done a pair for the Condor - this one is for general freight ....  so impressed I have bought one for me for use on Chapel!

Very good. Does the sound chip keep the engine running when you switch off, just like the prototypes?
