RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 13, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2021 Emergency DMU ID change I thought the 120 I travelled on mainly was BR allocated with ex buffet. Full research has provided C509 W50691 W59277 W50728 but by 1981 at Chester C556 W51577 W59583 W51586 but TSL So my set will be C509 and at the oldest of my age range. If I do another it will be C556 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 27, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2021 Spent a few hours today working out the underframe layout of the Swindon 120s, still short of one tank for TSLB. I THINK I now have all the masters sorted. Still doing a Leyland engine master. Also worked out I could do 120 fuel tanks as well. I used a general layout of a IC power car for engines and radiators and scaled the rest from side views and windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted April 3, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2021 Most masters are made and moulds have been poured, tomorrow will find out if it worked. DMSL sides are being adjusted and another Triang roof modified. Hopefully by end of Easter the DMSL will be glued to chassis. Still need to order wheels from Gibson and waiting on motor bogie from High Level (they are on furlough.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
