    Constructing my first wagon kit. A few mistakes as per but hopefully I will learn. Its the PD Grampus. Quite enjoyed it to be honest. Painting never done either.

    Thanks Ade, yes as it was ok prior to replacing a couple of short sections and pinning track down I may have to take track up again, frustrating but as you said got to find the problem. Strange as one loco is fine but not the others.

    For some inexplicable reason the 50 & 60 cut out on the same point but the 37 doesn't

    Yes Andy it does sound very nice and very loud.

    Ordered a long 10mm wood bit so I can insert the dowels and attach to the points. Perhaps with hindsight snatched by the ‘locusts’ in tescos I should not have fixed the track down just yet. A method I have kindly adopted from Chris Nevard.

    Further to my frustrating electrical issue Uncle Bob bucks the trend and does not cut out (so far, touch wood) on the troublesome 2 points.

    Hi Ian, watched your Vid on the Grampus build and superb it looks too. Couple of questions if I may as I have two kits to build What colour did you use, is it an olive? and How did you achieve the excellent battered look on the sides? Kind regards Julian.

    All electrics were great until I renewed some track and tacked all track down all locos seem to stall and cut out in same place. That would suggest to me that the feed wasn't getting through...frustrating to say the least. on a lighter note the 31 is off to a new home. Just the 45 & 37 both sound to find new homes for.

    Have to agree Ade looking great especially with the addition of the platform and buffer stop. Did you post some more shots of your coal store? Does look excellent. Im waiting for the round post signal to be released no doubt delayed now.

    Your engines will be getting restless Andy in store. What happened to lazy Joe??
  16. Baggies1961
    Looking superb Ade.

    Now what number should I choose for the 60?
  18. Baggies1961
    Some replacement sections of track were installed last night, the cross over section to the left of the 60, the siding opposite the platform and a small section on the run round loop. The siding was relaid as two pieces replacing the single piece of track. I could not close up the gap by the point so replaced it. At last Im nearer track fixing. Then as Im going to have dowels with wire to change the points and then ballast the track. All hopefully during this period of working from home and self isolation.

    Hi Andy, Good question as I said Antics fitted it so I will see the instructions they provided when they fitted it a couple of years ago I think.
  23. Baggies1961
    Thanks for that. So Im wondering How can they be adjusted, Antics fitted sound for me when I bought it.

    Found this skytrex loading platform put it together and thought it would sit nicely here. Its not yet finished.

    The lights appear wrong on the Cl 60. Sure there should be day and night time running lights. Can anyone clarify that?
