These work very well Brian http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/FLUORESCENT_TYPE_LED_LAMPS.html

Rich the Dia for slater plungers hole is 3.9mm and 27mm to make sure they are in constant contact with the tires on the wheels at all times under all conditions. Those dimensions are before you fit the pickups.

Nice rework on the Airfix kit Ken.

Rich I have tried iMaterialise and been ver disapointed with there general sevice and there printing service of the items I have had printed buy them they were all as bad if not worse a finish as you have had. All of my masters for kits or parts for brass or resin casting are printed buy Shapeways and there quality is excerlent with only minimum cleaning up needed before going to casting a lot of them using the same 3D models without alteration that were sent to iMaterialise. I would say try Shapeways for a better finished master rather than iMaterialise.

Pity the platform is too big for 4mm. Nice layout good work.

Peter It is a 1967 Ford Corsair I will certainly shed a few pounds on the car but it should be worth it when done, it should be on the road buy this time next year.

Peter I do get to do modelling but not for me and in 7mm mainly for customers & PH Designs. Most of my spare time is taken up with renovating this It's going to body & paint in August When that's back I can finish it off and then get some modelling done for myself and a new Exhibition Layout is in the planning stages. I will start a thread when I have something to show. I still have Lindridge Road to finish.

Peter You have done a lot of great modellig in the eight years this thread has been running well done sir.

Very nice conversion but the buffer beams are no where near thick enough.

That's probably 2066 intime for the centenary of the carriages first use on British Railways.

These were the layouts route selection & signaling boards all prototypical opperation and ALL ANALOG DC power no digital or DCC then. I spent meny a late summer evening there in my mid teens learning and driving the layout I was 48 last week.

All in standard Peco 00 Sadly Don Jones passed away a few years ago and his second wife had the complete layout destroyed.

For those who like to model 60's, 70's RTC carriages I have added a simple etched fret of parts to allow concersion of a Bachman Mk2 Carriage in to RTC Test Car 6 ADB975290 this can also be modeled in the Serco Test Train Livery. This is a very simple conversion. For decals for either the RTC or Serco liveries go to http://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?search_str=RTC

You can pose the up or down when built.

Use the contact page to send me a message and I will send you the info. You will have to assemble the panto.

Thankas to Shapeway's new pricing for FUD & FED the Engines and Traction motors on my Shapeways shop are considerably cheaper than before.

But make sure your chains are taught not slack!

My Web site is down thanks to Go Daddy performing a sever upgrade over the weekend they tell me it should be back up buy tomorrow at the latest.

Excellent work there Cav keep the progress pics coming.

When running Don Jones New Street back in the very early 90's well before DCC the power cars used to have two Lima ring field motors in each engine and Don was a very good Breeder of Coy fish so there were large ponds each side of the out door running rails and the track was 24V through thyristor controllers and many a time when a train would stop on the outside tracks we would be greeted by the chard remains of a frog or toad or hear them scream as they crawled across the main running lines (Don hated them as they would eat all of the fish food). So your moggie was lucky that you are using DCC.
