Will get some more. bear in mind sidings in yards generally don’t have lamps. So, would be good on the buffers on your platform road, and possibly the run round road, as more likely. Don’t go mad and fit them everywhere not that you have many anyway 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi Ian, Yes thats true they certainly are taking their time and this ‘chuffin’ pandemic not helping matters either! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 And what about the HEA coal hoppers? I have a kit for one of these in the loft. I think I could probably still get it out and finish it before Dapol delivers the RTR version. I was reading an old magazine this morning suggesting the new MK1 coaches would be out in September 2019! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen anything specific but I am sure there are various bits out there from smaller suppliers. I guess you could make the air tank(s) from plastic tube and filler.
