Andrew Cockburn Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 @ saxokid - Yes, I must admit that quite a few locos and wagons do appear "toylike" when unboxed. Not like they'd appear in real life at all, unless of course, they were fresh from the factory! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted October 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Nice work Neil! You might want to think about buffer beam detail and brake actuating arms though. Its a shame to go to the trouble of adding wire loops and detailing for it not to be correct. The Bachmann model as it comes has an original ETH jumper fitted under the RH buffer as you look at the loco head on - that needs to come off any 47/0 (eg 47035) or 47/3, the Bacchy one best represents the early ETH as fitted to D1500-19 - if doing a later 47/4 the jumper lead will be in a different position. As for air control, brake and steam heat pipes they will vary from loco to loco dependant on era and configuration - this thread may help with identifying the different pipes https://www.railwaymodellers.com/fitting-loco-buffer-beam-detail-parts-Bachmann-class-47/ And theres a useful thread on the brake actuating arms here - Hope that helps Phil Edited October 17, 2019 by Phil Bullock 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
