D9016

The D9000 model is nice but the application of the yellow panel has missed the dark green band across the base, making the front end look decidedly wrong. Perhaps Heljan could look to issue a green line decal to fix this, it's going to be a difficult thing to paint.

Has anyone got an unwanted bogie, preferably with motor please? Doesn't need to have sideframes. Thanks

Procured this today, O gauge, possibly roughly modelled on a T3, rock solid metal body with tender motor, missing the connecting drive shaft. Any thoughts on provenance of model (it's not a kit) and where to find a drive shaft? Thanks if you can assist.

Looking for a Jubilee (long firebox), any colour. Thanks!

A few more images of Holm Road. Some more detailing is needed, then it's probably fairly complete in current guise.

Thanks. All Heljan, the 46 from a 45 and the unrefurbished 50 via a Proto Neo conversion kit.

These are a few photos of my layout - Holm Road - based around Gloucester in 1981. Featured last month in RM. 8ft long x 18 inches wide plus fiddle yard. DCC, gradually converting locos with ESU/Legoman set-up.

Post and pre-refurbished 50s (Heljan models).

I used Hattons and was offered perfectly reasonable prices as part of a trade-in, plus the convenience of pick-up etc. Much easier than eBay.

A little more progress, loco shed now in place, another L-Cut product suitably modified. Next target is to finish the High St buildings and move onto the station area. Hopefully in 2022...
