A proper EMU in N

I've rebuilt the Class 310 into a blue-grey 312, with a new TS and PMS. Roof vents and end buffers are from ABS, pantograph from Dapol and the end is from N-Train.

 

The PMS has the transformer and resistor banks salvaged from an old Class 325 chassis moulding and other components from Mk2 underframes. It's not quite there yet but looks OK for now. A little tidying up is needed on the ends and they need glazing...working up the courage! smiley.gif

 

Brings back happy memories of my spotting days as a lad around Stevenage - need some blue/grey HSTs, some 101s and a Deltic or two to complete!

I intend to power the TS with a 150 chassis. The pantograph car is not suitable, as there is insufficient height to accommodate the PCB.

Ah yes Stevenage... the first platforms I remembered with the set back yellow line once the HSTs were introduced (IIRC - but a fading memory) - used to be stood waiting for 313s back to Hertford North on our Saturdays venture to the town. Didn't experience the 312s much, but they always had that "mainline" look about them compared to our 313s.

Great model... really captures the feel - although the three dot headcode is a surprise.
