mike hughes Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Can’t believe it’s taken me a year to fit the domes to the Westdale 114 parcel unit (page 2). I hoping the measurements I took off a 127 parcel car will be the same for the roller shutter door which would give me bit more incentive to do a resin mould. I’ve also made a start on putting together one of my Cross country DMU’s which I’m doing as a 120. Michael 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
