Thanks for the reply’s, so cat no 32-522NRM had a lighter roof, but still no conclusive proof that the blue changed to a lighter ( as built?) blue.
Another difference appears to be the light yellow lining around the grey roof which my early 32-520 model does not have, can’t believe I purchased mine back in February 2002 from the NRM, no. 46 on the receipt.
Does anyone know the catalogue numbers for the different livery versions of DP1.
Am I right in thinking the east coast liveried version is a lighter blue where as the west coast liveried one is the slightly darker as preserved blue?
The Bachmann spares site has both the ECML and WCML bodies listed but it looks like they have used the same image for both, at least I cant tell the difference.
So I’ve finally got around to dismantling my gate stock to paint the interior and add some passenger, the floor I guess will be a nondescript grey colour and the seat ends varnished wood but does anyone know the colour of the seat upholstery?
I’m using a file from Jonathan Duffett on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/ironmink/designs
I’m sure I read somewhere he draws to full size so they need to be scaled down as required.
I’m trying to scale, or rather my son is for me (he’s the one with the 3d printer) from a file drawn full size down to 4mm, or 1/76 scale so it’s probably a silly question but do I reduce the scale to 1. 76?
I hadn’t realised the Peco bug boxes are oversize, how oversize are they? If they are too oversize they will look wrong when coupled with the bowsiders, or are these also to be oversize.
How does Peco code 75 bullhead track compare to SMP code 75 flexible track, I’ve been using the SMP nickel silver type J for many years and wondered if it is compatible with the latest Peco code 75 bullhead, is the sleeper spacing similar and would the sleeper/rail height line up when connecting the 2 types, all info gratefully received.
The last 3 issues of Model Rail, no. 316, 317 and 318 are advertising their Ruston ‘PWM’ 0-6-0DE as having sprung buffers, none of my 3, the first 2 were returned due to poor running, had or have sprung buffers…. Do yours?
