Hi and thank you for the kind words. The layout is 10' x 2' and yes that building is based on the Odeon Cinema at Birmingham New Street. Here are another couple of photos - it's all gone very blue at Hill street - you can almost taste the diesel! Regards Rob

That black part looks like a Dyna-Drive clutch, that's why it has such a large flywheel?! Rob

My detailing/repainting projects
glasmonkey replied to blueeighties's topic in Modifying & Detailing RTR stock
Hi Lee I'm liking the very subtle fading of the yellow on the front, very convincing. Rob -
Yes I think you're right about the ballast, I will add some more black. And yes my DMU is a Lima 117 conversion. I managed to do it without chopping or a whole repaint, just did a bit of filling here and there and then blended the blue and grey paint back in to the Lima original, it's also been lowered and fitted with laserglaze. It isn't powered, it'll just get dragged around by my other DMUs and my Heljan 128. Rob
