  3. Heljan orginally announced a 4mm scale one around the time of bachmanns was announced (2004?) however they backed down following the announcement of the Bachmann one IIRC Presumably they had already gone some way to researching the 66, measuring up etc so I guess this is using the data obtained then. Interesting this goes in competion with the mehano version which is also being rereleased this year although I'm not sure if its just going to be the 5 door version. Simon
  4. Very confused after staring at pictures of brake pipes and linkages for too long.

  5. And a superb trilogy of articles they are Very useful Simon

  8. I have had this problem with insufficient mixing. I have heard that warming the tin to begin with helps with mixing it as this will reduce its viscosity and therefore enabling you to mix it around a lot more. A short time resting on the radiator will apparently do the trick. Though I am yet to try this as its been some time since I did any serious painting :-( Simon
  9. That is the colour scheme shown for the 4mm Intercity Mk2F so I'd presume so. I wouldn't call them soon to be released though, I wouldn't be surprised if they are good couple years off at least. Simon
  10. Keep being tempted by 0 gauge. Probably cant afford that and the tins of baked beans on the student budget :-(

  12. Becareful of detail differences between the different 37s Of note are the difference between the rsh and ee built ones Nose grills Positioning of horns Of course if you can look over these differences then you can chop and change all you like and create some nice variety :-)
