Something I noticed watching the video is the Disk Brake inserts on the wheels are quite white instead of a silver And some of them are a bit off centre making the wheel look wobbly Maybe they should be a dull silver as they are not that noticeable in real life Nice the locos are on the way - :)

A wide variety of new releases are expected in Q3 2024 catering for BR green, BR blue, Railfreight and Civil Engineers examples with many detail and livery variations.

Same as production HST Power Cars the panel lifts up On the production HST there was a slot where a coupling bar from the Guards van area slotted in On the prototypes there is a coupling hook

I am very impressed with your 110 to 104 conversion. I have a few 110 cars and I will give that a go. The repainting can be done by a local chap at a good price. Thanks :) Peter

Thanks for the suggestion but getting it made in the correct scale is a bit beyond what I can do. Peter

I might look again at the Silver Fox Class 104 Cab for the Hornby 110. Peter

I'm a bit late to this project and I notice Rails have stopped taking orders for the non-sound versions. I will find something else for test trains Somebody asked about a front coupling on this model - 41001 has run with another loco on the front

I will give that up as a bad idea. No 3D printer and nobody in the local group has one.

Thanks, I will look at unpluging the lights at one end. My layout is like a Dogbone and I just run the locos with the Front (DCC) leading so I remove the couplings at that end and the inner end is dark. Peter

Having looked at the Ironmink page they just seem to have plans and don't have any fronts for sale - or am I missing something Peter

Having recently pick up a second hand Class 23 at Doncaster Model show and fitted a DCC Chip I notice the Tail Lights are on when the head lights are on. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks Peter

The price on the Locomotion version is £150 on Rails of Sheffield - I wished I had gone to Ally Pally. https://railsofsheffield.com/products/north-eastern-railway-es1-ner-green-as-preserved-bo-bo-no-1-electric-locomotive There is the York show at Easter and Locomotion have a stand so I will look then Peter

I had just opened the email and saw the announcement about Tadpoles and was equally disappointed - looking forward to a 3R DEMU https://www.bloodandcustard.com/BR-3R-Tadpole.html Peter

Your standards must be quite low 😁

I'm still tempted with this loco and with the Locomotion version being reduced I might get one. Anyone know if you need a special decoder for this loco? Thanks
