RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 24, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I'll be doing a demo stand at the upcoming DEMU Showcase event a few days time. Current plan is to have the HRA project front and centre - having just picked up the last few to make a rake of 16. I'll obviously have some of the yellow stuff there as well. Come along and say hello. Cheers, Mick Edited May 24, 2019 by newbryford 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 4, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2019 A couple of weeks ago, I stripped down the first half of the HTA-HRA conversion (7 out of 16 - one is already done)) And attacked them with a small bench saw. (Proxxon with a diamond blade) This was the resulting jigsaw. And after not many hours work, this is where they're up to. Just a bit of filling and sanding to do and almost ready for paint. ( I reckon it's less than 2 work hours per wagon from start to paintshop - there is an appreciable amount of glue drying time though!) Decals are being sourced and thanks to Paul for the number info. Hopefully, the next 8 will follow shortly. Cheers, Mick 12 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 27, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2019 After lots of cutting, glueing, filling, sanding painting, more filling, more sanding, more painting, sticking bits on, more painting and a final fill, sand and paint, I now have 16 HRAs ready for the paint shop. I have a limited stock of DB red, but a friend has a spare 50ml tin - I will be visiting soon. Hopefully, in the next few days, I'll collate my info regarding wagon numbers and dispatch an email with photos and lists to a decal manufacturer........ Two of the fleet have already received holes in the hopper bottoms to feed wires through to pickups on the wheels - these will provide power to a DCC controlled flashing tail lamp that will be fitted at either end of the rake.

Cheers, Phil. Pic please! Just realised - that's the prototype HRA..... And this is your pic. Running a train like this should invite comments at a show!

Come to set up the airbrush today and can't find the hose............ Serves me right for having a big tidy up a few weeks ago. New hose ordered from ebay.

Nope - it's still not appeared. But it's bound to turn up son, now that I've stopped looking for it. Cheers, Mick 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 18, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Whilst awaiting the HRA decals, a few others were purchased from Railtec for this lot. They will be applied over the next few days. 37610/37521/97302/37669/33207 Three for test train operation and two for railtours. 610 still needs the upper headlight fitting - the holes are drilled ready.
