the penguin of doom Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi just to let you know i have started on the task of doing the Black 5! Is there a thread? I have 3 of these to do in a while and know nothing about detailing steamers so could do with all the help I can get. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iankemp Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I got the idea off this thread once i read through it and examined the pictures. I thought it was a good thing to do to one of my steam loco's. I will go through mine one at a time. This is the only thread i have found that this has been done! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucky Duck Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I got the idea off this thread once i read through it and examined the pictures. I thought it was a good thing to do to one of my steam loco's. I will go through mine one at a time. This is the only thread i have found that this has been done! Thanks again. There are many in-depth threads and blogs on modifying locos on RMweb. Some of the respondents to this thread have given me a lot of inspiration and advised me on tweaks or methods I'd never previously thought about. Let's have a link to show us your progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxUnpopuli Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Having just read this thread through, as it doesn't appear Hornby have retooled the Five since... I think it deserves another bump. Excellent work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yep 2002 was the first release of the newest version I believe. It is a great model, although it would definitely benefit from a retool with the latest technology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
