You'll do fine with it! If you can hang on for a few weeks, I'm in the middle of sorting out with Minty for the speakers for mine, which will gain a Paul Chetter Protodrive Zimo 'big boy' decoder! Which I'll document on here if it helps.

Hope you and the family had a good Christmas.

Thanks Rich had a great Christmas hope you an your family did to. Are you using one of Jinty's (or as you like to call him 'Minty's ' ;) ) 08 speakers or something different? I'm hoping to get over and see him in Jan.

 

Cheers

Thanks Lee, I'm going to number it D270 like I did my 4mm version as it was one of the first to be painted in br blue in early 67, thanks for heads up regarding the handles to :)

Hi Paul,

 

It looks like you'll need to cut the extra headboard brackets from the nose doors then:

But at least you don't need to remove one set of double arrows!!

 

Cheers

Documented install would help me too please!

 

 

No problem, once I've done it, if Paul doesn't mind, I'll pop a link to the exact message on my thread with the full how-to - assuming I get it right :)

Hi Paul,

Yes not a bad Christmas thanks. It's my spell checker keeps turning Jinty into Minty! Obviously not an LMS fan! Yes the 08 are David's (Jinty) speakers, as the 40 will be too. I need to pop the body off and sort out what space there is 40 the speaker, was hoping to do it the past couple of days but not had time!

Well I'll start with a happy new year to all and here's to a great years modelling in 2017.

 

Not much been done over the festive period apart from the odd ten minutes here or there but I have made a start on the blue 08.

 

So here's a ome pics of the first stages of weathering.

 

In some ways weathering is easier in 7mm as things are bigger but on a whole I think the attention to detail makes things a lot more difficult, in a good way though, it just means it takes a bit longer.
