    Hi I was painting the bed for a 1/72 scale truck from an academy kit at thought actually would this make a good substitute for Teaking Hornby coaches? It is a bit matte but this is Hornby 62

    As you can see it’s a long way from horrendous but if I’m going to the trouble of making it into something I’d like it to be less warped

    Ive got an old 040 continental style shunter by lima (the little blue one) and it has a slightly distorted bodyshell, Is it possible to re shape it or take the sitortion out of it? it doesnt affect the running or overall shape its just like it has been too close to heat in one place

    could this eventually be programmed to operate automatically when the train approaches?

    I converted a class 47 into a 57 with the above kit, you need to decide on which one you want to do as the kit only seems to cover the early 57/0s with the 47 cab ends and not the smoothed ones or the thunderbird ones as above

    Is that a Scot rail Liveried 24/25?

    Real long shot here guys, recently found an old trainset it was the Hornby dino safari one with Lifelike Trains Powerloc track ideal for my nephew to click together. unfortunately the power feed has snapped off it. does anyone have any sections of this track?

    as above looking to build a rake of these tankers, the dont need to be perfect or boxed what have you got?

    I Love the Hornby 0-4-0s but unfortunately Hornby fitted too fast a motor for them and the chassis was identical on hem, I decided to see what I could do with a Barclay 06 shunter so here is some pictures of mine. Unfortunately due to the motor I cannot do anything about the toolboxes on the side

    Later Hymek mouldings also had a more correct offset fan grille whereas the early ones had it centrally
  21. Mainlinefreighter58

    struggling to find someone that makes an etched brass antenna for the Class 47 (the examples im modelling all had them) now i know they had a distinctive V shape base but i cant find one available, now there was a product listed on shawplan but without an image im clueless as to if its right, does anyone else do one or is it simple to fabricate from plasticard ? TIA

    Im looking for a few (6 or more) white metal or brass speedo drives for various diesel locos i have, unfortunately i can only find one for a class 47 and the maker craftsman are no longer in production. can you suggest some alternatives please? ta
  24. Mainlinefreighter58
    yes ive mounted it to the chassis rather than the bodyshell, i have some hose packs and Bachmann accessory packs to detail it :)

    having a go, first stage... thankfully 57/0s have very plain beams with not many contours.
