Have things been resolved recently?? Cheers The very first run had issues. Mine were fine. Newer ones are fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Sulzer Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) When you consider its the 60th anniversary of the outshopping of D1000 in that unique Desert Sand livery . It would have been nice to market a version in 00'with SYP as not to clash with the long sold out version exclusive to 'Steam 'Museum. Maybe Kernow models will commission a batch in ltd form.

w124bob Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Anyone replaced a wheel set? I have a new to me loco which has a slight wheel wobble on the leading and middle axle and I can't work out how the keeper plate comes off. Have to say I had an excellent response from DCC Supplies, a full detail set including brake rigging and 2 wheel sets arrived within 48hrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Here is D1065 Western Consort, it was running on fine scale track when the pictures were taken so the above request regarding replacing the wheels is not an issue. Weathering is actually toned down slightly, but does reflect the condition circa 1975. The headboard brackets were deleted after accident repairs at one end which I have done, etched lamp brackets( from RT Models) added at one due to my clumsiness and the boiler exhaust has been opened up.

Cheers Phil, I couldn't get the subtle horn cowl mod looking right so left it out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
