With my ED finished, sorry no pic's but it looks just as it did before the conversion, thought turn to what to do next. With work on the layout somewhat stagnant, I'm sure when if the weather warms up I will get more enthusiasm, I am getting on with stock. First up is something I have fancied for a long, long time, a stretched Hymek on a C-C chassis. For this I have obtained a spare Heljan Falcon chassis. It looks like this could be a bit of a monster. I will get some pictures of progress on this at the weekend. The other thing I am building, is a DJH S15 to add a much needed SR freight loco' to the roster. Pic's on progress here will also follow at the weekend.

Ooh sounds interesting! :)

 

Are the A1 grills much cop? I always throught the Lima ones were excellent on the 73 - and what let it down were the underscale pizza cutter wheels and the rubbish horn and MU cables.

After speaking to MG Sharp about the grills, I got the impression that A1 made them and sent them out as and when they felt like it. The horns look much better if they are removed and the mounting block filed down. I am happy with the grills after weathering them on the first one. But it was the ubdersize pizza-cutter wheel and the poor pick-up that finally got me round to fitting the class 20 chassis.
