I know they have holes in the blocks for fork trucks but i wanted them on pallets for my fork trucks to load .

next a bit more work on the wagon .

I really like the shrink wrap plastic effect, these will look good in the wagon Andi

Ive been interested in what the Hornby TTS sound decoder sound like for less Than £40 so i picked one up and fitted it to the 67 i have .  I have fitted it with a new speaker here is the result . comment  what you think i'm quite impressed .

Not bad at all Andi, what kind of speaker did you use?

Hi been really busy of late but have not forgot New Whitt .

I managed to win on ebay another metals double grey 37 so am in the process of renumbering this into 37515 here is a few photos

The previous owner has weathered it but as 37515 didnt have the thornaby depot diamond on i have had to remove it so the weathering will need touching up

My number transfer arrived the day after speaking to them about my order

Afternoon hope the heat is not getting to everyone to much .

I have applied the transfers to the new 37/5 and run the loco in again another great model that performs very well not sure if the numbers are a little small on the body side or the numbers that Bachmann use are large .

just need to get the weathering touched up on 37515 now .

Hi all for some reason my railway seems to be going from BR blue to the sector colours for today this turned up .

i have been tempted by one of these for ages but wanted a coal sector one but these were cheap and also ordered a set of coal sector decals and numbers.

Thanks Neil the Bachmann version is so much better than heljans attempt .

Some great progress Andi and nice to see the Sectorisation period, I'm a fan myself. Speaking of being a fan, I love Heljans 47, the sheer weight of it and the interchangeability of the parts make it a favorite of mine.

Thanks Simon i think its all about my childhood and what i remember as for Heljan 47 it was just to prone for breaking down it killed two motors and fried 3 pcb's and just felt it didnt look right and i'm well impressed by Bachmann version model looks and the liveries . Hope your well mate .

Great looking layout!

Must say, I’ve been thinking about getting one of those Heljan 58’s from Hattons myself and doing as you are, adding the coal sector decals.

 

I’m a fan of the Bachmann 47 too, it’s a great looking model. Though I do still have all my old Heljan ones, can’t seem to part with them!
