Fourfields Workbench

[Backtor]

Hi guys, I've started a new layout in my attic before Christmas, and decided that I'd set up a thread for my workbench. 

My stock ins mainly DRS, but after buying a Rainbow Railways Class 37403 in Large logo, I thought I'd have ago at converting the 37401 from the 1980's guise to the current DRS guise. However I've come across a bit of a stumbling block before I have even started? 

 

Just wondered if anyone can tell me where you'd be able to source out the different deeper set tail lamps that 37401/402/407/424 all have? Is there an alternative nose? Or is it a case of pre-drilling the holes out and filling them in with some red plastic?

Thanks in Advance, I'll post some pictures in due course.

 

Regards,
Cameron

Cam,

 

Pete Harvey (PH/Designs) does some resin nose ends with the modified tail lights, think they’re listed as 37/6 but look to be the same as the 37/4’s. just need to check lamp brackets and marker lights.

 

Cheers,

Hi guys,

 

Thought I'd best start getting into the habit of updating this thread.

 

I've had a few projects on going for a few people as well as my own stuff. So I've uploaded a selection of photos of what I've been up to.

 

First up I've weathered a cross country voyager, I'm pleased with how this came out and hopefully its new owner is.

 

 

I've also converted a set of auto Ballesters from the blue rail track ones to the yellow network rail branded ones that are based in bescot for use on the Cambrian, think these will look great when I get the layout up and running again.

 

 

 

For my O gauge layout I've also been working one Heljan class 25/0 this is now numbered 25058 and I'm pleased with how well it's come out this included a full removal of the nose doors, dominos, and complete repaint.

 

 

I've also been doing a couple of DRS bits namely a MK2 and a 57/0 in the newer livery.

 

 

Finally I've been detailing up some Kyle line mk2's for a friend, finished these off with a nice weathering

 

 

That's all for now,

 

I'll try and keep this thread updated the more I do.

 

Regards,

Cameron
