Waverley West Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Loving the videos . What speaker is in the 26? It sounds pretty loud ! Thanks meanach. They're twin sugar cube speakers from DC Kits. They're fully enclosed and do give off a pretty impressive sound. All my 26s and 27s have had a sound upgrade over the past year or so with new legomanbiffo v4 chips and new speakers and I'm very happy with them now. I do love the Sulzer Type 2 sound. Selling my old v3.5s helped to keep the cost down, as there seems to be a reasonable market for older sound chips. Hope that helps! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Hi folks, While I'm loitering, here's a quick update on progress with 150001. The cab door handrails and the doors themselves are now more or less complete. New doors have been made from plastic card. I was going to try and refit the old ones but the shape of the door window is different on the 150/0. The bodies are now ready for masking and spraying, although I need to add a door opening button next to the driver's doors first. I've removed the original numbers from the cab fronts without leaving too much trace, so that will mean I won't have to respray the yellow, which will avoid an awkward masking job along the line of the handrails on the cab fronts. The next job apart from the masking and spraying will be the chassis for the centre car, which will be made by cutting and shutting two driving trailer car chassis. In other news, these Mobile Track Assessment coaches arrived this morning to add some more variety to the stock on WW... I'm sure they're not 100% accurate but they look the part to me and it's my railway. Cheers for now, Dave Edited March 5, 2018 by Waverley West 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley West Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Nice to see 150001 again! Looks good. My plan is to crack on with it now and not get too distracted by other projects. Trouble is I really want to work on my Hornby Mk 3s, as I have corridor connections, window frames and Lazerglaze to fit to the ScotRail rake and the blue/grey HST now after last weekend's visit to Glasgow, which I think will improve them further. Must resist, must resist. Edited March 5, 2018 by Waverley West 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris64B Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I love the interiors of the buildings and offices in the yard Dave, well done they are a great touch! Where are your figures from, they are very realistic? And are they all fixed in position or just balanced so you can move them around?

Waverley West Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Hi folks, Not a huge amount to report, mainly because I've been recovering from a hernia op and a computer crash in the space of two days. I'm not sure which was more stressful, especially as my livelihood depends on my computers! Anyway, some decent therapeutic progress has been made with 150001, which is actually not all that far off completion now. The unit has been sprayed and gloss-varnished and is now ready for the transfers, which will be done by Steve at Railtec Transfers. Hope to post some piccies of the unit soon. With the family away from this afternoon until tomorrow evening, I'm home alone right now, so hopefully I'll get some rare modelling time in. In the meantime, here are a few videos... 47459 leaves Waverley bound for Fife with a short rake of Mk 2s... Think you can handle twin Napiers? Here is 55007 departing Waverley bound for Aberdeen...

The windows have been put back in temporarily to give an idea of what the finished car will look like. A shot of the three cars...

Popular Post Waverley West Posted April 7, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) 'evening all, It's time for a step change in the quality of WW's videos, as I've invested in a Polaroid Cube+, which is a neat little device small enough to record cab rides around the layout in HD. It's been a bit fiddly to set up but it seems to be working OK now. So, you are cordially invited to join me on a cab ride from the DMU fiddle yard (for local services into/out of Waverley) to Platform 13, Edinburgh Waverley...

citadel12003 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Top class work there Dave, you've raised the bar again... One small observation - the LED's in the signals on the video appear to flicker at times. I'm sure they don't flicker all the time on the layout - is that an issue with video recording generally, or just down to my computer settings? Looking forward to seeing more videos as well as your signature photography. Best regards, Tom 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
