Marty Mc Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi Again flying pig thats great. Thank you. The cab interior hmmm is that a very light duck egg green? I now will change some of my lighting so all 4 whites are fully independent of each other and replace the farish LEDs with DCC Concepts prototype white "nano lights" to bring them more in line with that video. I didnt think of that.... independent lighting. I am unsure if I will put working oil lamps on it at this stage. I have plenty of functions(8)so thats not an issue. Also got sorted out the uniforms for the drivers and its 2 so that video has answered so many questions. I assume Sam the guy in the black or very dark navy blue was the "co-driver". Interesting that the Deltic had to stop to fill up with water. Thank you flying pig I will put up a couple of pics and video, when finished, you can tell me if Im close to the right sound. I have a unique plan for the delayed sound for the second engine....we shall see and for keeping both engines ever so slightly out of sync.

BROADTRAIN1979 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi, i find the chassis very low on the dpi and when my track was ballasted she was very particular and i had to scrapetiny bits off the track where as my other locos rode smoothly over. mind you, now, she runs beautifully on dcc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 5944 Posted September 1, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2011 Despite modelling in N for 20 years, I've gone ahead and bought my first train set! £85 for the loco from the shop at Haworth on KWVR, or for an extra £24 get 2 coaches as well. No contest really. What I didn't realise was included was an etch Merseyside Express headboard. Very nice touch! Loco runs like a dream, though I'm not keen on the lights. I think I'll remove them when I get a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If the lights are wired the same way as those in the new Cl.37 then you should be able to disable them by folding a small piece of paper and slipping it between the contacts that connect the chassis 'wiring' to the body. Very simple, effective and completely reversible (should you come to sell it at a future date). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 5944 Posted September 1, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2011 Excellent, thanks Bernard. I'll have a look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
