Now with lights on The Saloon as I remember it

Next I painted the inside and put figures in. Next painted sides in intercity colours (a lot of masking, spraying and drying.) Added lighting

I had my inspection saloon at Preston repainted in intercity colours in the late 80's. Since the Bachmann Saloon has not been produced in these colours I have finally got around to a paint job. As purchased First take the saloon apart. Lots of bits

My 4705 was waiting for me when I got home tonight. Supplied by Rails of Sheffield in packaging designed to withstand a nuclear blast it took a while to open. Superb model in perfect condition. Keep finding more and more nice details on it. Bag of bits which someone may be able to identify? (2 spare whistles!?) Polished wheels with grass fibre brush and onto the tracks. Runs perfectly. Performance through speed range excellent. I'm one very happy man. Now packed away again for a Fathers day present, now that is what I call timing.

PeterH, That lighting installation you made is fabulous. I'm right behind you. Have taken coach apart and bought lighting strip. Some help please. Did you put in a circuit to light carriage in both directions? Any details of what you did would be very much appreciated. thanks peter jf

Hi Mikkel, 3245 looks great. I am building one myself. Some help please I have most of the transfers I require but... Where did you source the numbers on the rear splasher? Peter

Hi Rob, Inspired by your model I decided to have ago. Followed your instructions but used 1mm plastic instead of brass sheet. Delighted with finished model. Peter

gr king don't wish to hijack excellent thread. I worked out that perforations where two holes of 2mm and 1.6 mm diameter. Printed diagram onto sticky paper and attached to 1mm styrene sheet. Set up in my unimat and drilled all the holes and the cut between holes to correct size. Then cut styrene sheet to shade as attached half way through process

Following thread with amazement. A riveting read and I cant believe the 3d printing. Had a go at Emily conversion a few years ago (attached). Might well remake it following your great example.

Yippee! One City of Truro returned to its true home of Swindon. Finest RTR loco yet. The bag of bits will keep me busy on Christmas Day. Peter

Hi simon Nice to see Stirling Single comming along, and how you are dealing with issues I struggled with! Good Luck, I will keep watching. Peter
