    Maybe if you could write order from the etch part number as per the wagon kits? This could then be extended to all the conversion kits as they appear.

    Pretty sure the buffet on a DPTF would hide a motor.

    Will it? Somebody ought to tell hitachi... I think I know which seat this is and I think it's the angle of the photo.
  4. modfather
    Yup. I'm off up later in the week to service them.
  5. modfather
    Could you do it from an etched profile and build the body up from solder?

    The rear pan is an emergency set up. Automatically the lead pan is used. When units couple the pans will reset to use the out ends to reduce the wire disruption.

    Looking very good indeed. It's nice to still see progress.
  8. modfather
    Not quite - there will still be differences. The west of England fleet will have more brake resistors for example so it can dynamic brake away from the overhead.

    I quite honestly don't know, some of the modifications are post testing, others are to make them more suited to a longer period running on diesel (larger adblue tanks, derestricting power packs, larger fuel tank)
  10. modfather
    Nope, I definitely mean fuel tank. I flipping fitted them! The tanks as designed finished some distance behind the skirt. They now follow the outer profile and add roughly 20% extra fuel capacity.

    I'm only picky because I maintain them. The rest of the model seems pretty good at first glance.
  12. modfather
    That is rather nice, however, the mode will only represent 800004 up to last week when the new style fuel tanks were fitted which now extend out inline with the skirts.

    I told you no good would come of an Old banger... At least ooo is 1:152...

    Bargain - thanks for pointing that out Chris. ...just need the skill to build a chassis next!
  15. modfather
    Very cute - especially next to a bruiser like a 5600

    You would be better off asking in the structures or in the questions, help and tips section http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/25-modelling-questions-help-and-tips/

    I have the pleasure of maintaining them. I have walked down all five sets. There is no obvious up/down through the vehicles apart from the gangway area as you leave the outer motor coaches towards the DPT.
  18. modfather
    Correct. I can only stand in the DPT cars.
  19. modfather
    Both end cars have air and transformer packs taking up all the space. The inside bogie cars in the 9 cars are empty underneath. There's always a way.
  20. modfather
    Pan cameras are handy for warranty and damage claims too. Bracknell Willis are big fans and use footage to analyse pan behaviour.
  21. modfather
    How are you getting on with Patrick?
  22. modfather
    Two cars on a nine car only have inside bearing bogies. I believe that t58 is on power speed testing.
  23. modfather
    The current sets can over power to compensate if one engine packs up. It has to be remembered that these were "last leg" engines not primary movers and that the west of England fleet will be at the full engine power rather than the restricted iep rating.
  24. modfather
    Have you still got the report they sent on that Irish one? I couldn't believe it was the same car!
  25. modfather
    Where can I find a list of the rolling stock you produce Chris? I'm relatively new to 2mm so I'm a little out of the loop.
