P.C.M Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Super shots there Peter, love the DMU coming around the curve, nicely weathered as well. Thanks Andy, I stole the motor out of this one so it's a dummy to run with my other 108s and my 128. I can also use it as a failed unit and have a loco haul it. Cheers Peter.

Grimleygrid Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 A belated Happy New Year Peter! Some lovely traction running on the last day of 2015! I bet the Large Logo tractor sounded good arriving! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Lovely stuff Peter, especially with the RMB. Thanks Simon, I have pulled of the vac gear now so need to make up something for the air brake gear now and fit Kadee's to the bogies. Cheers Peter.

Popular Post P.C.M Posted January 17, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2016 M1805 is pretty much ready for use now, all it needs is a touch up of the weathering. The Kadee's have been fitted to the bogies and the vac brake gear has been removed and replaced with the air brake gear made from some scrap bits and pieces. I have also made a start on my 150 Sprinter that's been in bits for a few years. I have fitted new destination's and cut the very front off the chassis and glued it to the body so I can fill in the missing cowling. This was removed fairly early on but not until about 88 I think. Cheers Peter. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977joey Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi Peter, Great pictures as always, loving all the new end of your layout too with the sweeping curves. Wish I had the room looking forward to seeing your 150 in action . Re: the front end cowling was removed between 1992/93 on the 150's ready for the fitting of miniature snow ploughs from what I remember when the early regional Railways liveries came about, so they did run with them for all the late 80's. Looking brill All the best, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 The 150 now has it's cowling at both ends and I have made up a box that can be seen under the drivers side, I have also fitted the Pete Harvey seat etch to the power car. The RMB has also had it's bogies turned the right way round and has had it's weathering finished. Cheers Peter. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted January 26, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice looking 150. I met my very first at Llandudno junction in that livery and thought how well it suited them. The RMB looks the biz as well. a sink for collecting the moisture that is pressurised out of the compressed air, Also referred to as an in-line moisture trap and something I have on mine. It's noticeable how much moisture collects after just a short trial run of the comp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Very nice. Were the seats easy to fit? Do they glue in and did you have to paint them so the stand out through the darker windows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rick, I remember seeing 150s when they first came out though didn't take much notice as they were replacing loco hauled trains I only have a few pics of them which is a pity but there you go. I have a moisture trap just need an air brush, there are a few on ebay but money is tight at the moment so it will have to wait. Cheers Peter.

Cheers Peter. A case of half-feared, half hoped-for. Mine turn up on a Manchester - Llandudno which I was set to use down the branch after arriving behind some sort of loco and coaches. I think it was that trip when I caught the 20s back to Stoke on the Blythe Bridge run as well as I've only been down the branch by service train a couple of times. Does that match the timeframe?

P.C.M Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Very nice. Were the seats easy to fit? Do they glue in and did you have to paint them so the stand out through the darker windows? I sprayed the seats with primer then then a light grey i had that looked close to the colour of the seats in the non powered coach. I glued them to the chassis block and cut out where the clips for attaching the body were. The fun bit was trying to re attach the body as it's a tight fit and I didn't want the scratch the paint off the seats. I used business cards each side and push the body on, once passed the seats I carefully removed the cards. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the class 20 were a bit out of my time frame they were late 80s early 90s though I do run class 20s on Llanbourne I mean why not. Cheers Peter.

Andrew F Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Lovely photo Peter. That kind of service was common when I was a kid and we would get on such a train to Leeds as a failed unit was dragged back to Neville Hill. Rarely modelled, took me right back....was great to see the shabby old Goyle visible through the windows of the unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A class 20 from Haymarket to Edinburgh, as you say great to see the 20 through the front windows. another pic of 31403 having run round and ready for the off. Really must sort the platform canopies.

Popular Post P.C.M Posted January 31, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have finished my 150 today, I am quite happy with it. Also coming off the workbench is a 142 that I have removed the motors from and lowered to match the hieght of the 150. The plan is to have the 142 as a dummy to run with the 150 and my other 142 when I get round to re motoring it. Hopefully the pics explain what I have done this is the second time I have written this I seem to have dodgy internet. Cheers Peter 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
