Looks OK with a working roof light

From my memory, all WestCountry class names were red plates with gold letters with same coloured scroll below. Looking at Fox Transfers etched plates the Calstock plates are red with no alternative colour available. Hope that helps

Can anyone confirm the speaker configuration in the 66 - is it an EM2?

Newly added to the fleet, my 37418 sits in the Network Rail siding with Caroline

Never had any cut outs since fitting them to my 37s but I was getting cut out at start up every time prior to fitting on my 6 locos!!

I would try and rub lightly with a cotton bud dampened with thinners. If that does not work try the least obtrusive area with a cotton bud and T cut and if that removes marking it is likely to leave a shiny area which can be flashed over with an air brush and satin varnish. You may end up re-varnishing the whole body once all marks removed but should be easy enough on the air smoothed model. Hope that helps John

Hi Bob using a cotton bud and T cut you can easily remove the old warning flashes and a nice shiny surface remains to put the replacements on John

Shawplan do the etched discs and they are easy to fit. I did all my early batch ones I think it may have been Railtec who did the 3D decals

Hi Fran wouldnt a replacement Accurathrash speaker rated at 8 ohms do the business and prevent the trips and potential decoder damage? John

Hi JN I bought some superb coal loads from smuggler7 on EBay. He has also done loads for many other wagon types and they are excellent without being over expensive. John

56049 on the cement

Cannot get over how superb this loco is. Round so smoothly and great set of functions. Could not resist putting Robin on the cement today!! 😃😃

Really nice work Iain - a massive difference between the two and impressed with the detail you have applied. Looking forward to seeing your next project completion. John

Completed loading the Colas 56 into my ECoS and detailing number 1 end along with fitting the nameplates. What a stunning model and the sound file is second to none. Well done Cav and Alex, cannot wait for the 60s I have on order!

Hello Andy and Gents I have been trying to upload a couple of photos from my files and they all end upside down whether loaded from my PC, ipad or iphone. What am I doing wrong as cannot see the ability to edit on the actual forum when uploaded. Many thanks John
