Looks like the 24 driver has my hand up slightly higher? Ouch!

Patience Paul, Heljan have a lot on the go at the moment.

I don't know who I got those 37 window frames from Deltic17. I sent an email to Shawplan to ask if they were something he did but doesn't advertise but have had no reply. The Heljan 47 has had a full retool but the 33 was only ever a re-run with a little tweek here and there CME and Bottlewasher Trying to fill in the gap either side of the V bracket. It's Not Quite Like The Real Thing which is ironic as they are JLTRT class 45 sandboxes with the top cut down. I know they should be a bit thinner on that top edge but I think if I cut more off then the bottom will be too high. Will see if I can add the rod between them. But think it's better with these rather than the before shot.

The 33 will have the later exhaust and no fuel tank cutout I'm affraid, got leave something for you to "model"! LED's installed and running off DCC so they are lit whilst I'm stood still. I have added an on/off switch for the reds, don't want them on with a train do we. Hopefully when I'm running this it won't be on full power so the LED's should be a bit dimmer. One little problem I've noticed on this 3ft plank though is when going forward the LED's in the rear headcode box flicker, any ideas how to stop this anyone?

Finished this recently as well from a pre-production model of the re-introduced 33/0 that should be out later this year. The fuel tanks have been narrowed and the spring in the centre of the bogie has been put back a bit. Also now has some nice sandpipes and brackets. It's also being done as one with a headlight.

Hi CME Not just me then about RMweb then. Retirement is going very well, going to Europe 4 times this year plus a few breaks in Blighty to get in and fit in a bit of modelling! Another project just signed off was a Heljan 37 with a set of etched front windscreens to replace the Heljan windows. That was all I did on this as I just wanted a standard banger blue 37.

A bit of a lack of updates here due to the fact I don't like the new layout I'm afraid and it was doing my head in working it out. Anyway here is an update on the 86, I just added the lamp brackets and the nice etched horn grill that Pete Harvey did for me. Will add some LED lights next before painting I think.

Was Oxford to Radley ever 4 lines?

Yes as far as Hinksey North where the down Goods ended to get past the cemetery. Don't know when it was taken up, bit before my time. -
I got PH Designs to do some etches for me a while back to backdate the kit to a 86/0. Also a new headcode box as the kit one is too small. I glued the new one over the old one but it should be recesses a bit more to be honest but I just could not face trying to un solder the original so this will do. The new etched rivet surround now goes with the curve of the front and not recessed as per the kit. Tail lights are made up with the etched "washers" and a light surround etch on the end. There is a new horn grill but I failed miserably trying to solder it up so need another to have a go with. It was a job trying to solder the new V bogie pivot etches onto the floor without compromising the brass strip I soldered in and filled to remove the coil spring location. Anyway it's slowly coming on.

One of the German gauge wagons with UIC numbering loaded up a bit and one cut down with British numbering.

Outside of your time frame I know but some decks were transported from one place to another en-mass once. And a few with containers on! 2009 2008

That 27 and 25 coming into Leicester is just mental, what a combination. -
