RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 16, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2013 Now that Hornby have announced Mk2e's (along with last year's Bachmann 2f''s) I may be able to obtain a few cheaper TSO's for chopping! I purchased a Serco liveried 08417 and the correct transfers from Precision last month, but I guess it'll be awhile before the yellow Hornby 08417 hits the shops, so that's another yellow project to start.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 18, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) 99666 - I had already drilled out for the handrail and door handle, but these were filled in again, along with the door joint. The footboard has also been removed. DSCF7381c.jpg Note - this mod has been carried out on three of the four doors. Haven't yet decided on how to blank the window - it is recessed. I'm tempted to use Shawplan laserglaze. Here's a better link to the prototype 99666. Both windows are so treated on the other side. http://www.flickr.com/photos/91143980@N08/11315045973/in/photolist-ieSyXx Just noticed that I need to blank off the grill above the door also.

DelticChris Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The new headlight on the 31 needs a LED and there's not a lot of room for it. I resorted to grinding a small amount from the floor casting and filing a similar amount from under the cab moulding. UTU12.jpg UTU13.jpg Due to the 31 having Hornby's peculiar negative common, I decided to wire the headlight (and the one at the other end) directly to the 8 pin plug white and yellow leads. And a couple of layers of paint later UTU2 010RM2.jpg Next up will be UTU2 itself - 62482, ex 4-REP driving car. A bit more complicated than filling in a couple of windows (and not yellow), but don't worry, I'll get back to simpler things later! Cheers, Mick Hi mike, really nice job on the 31 network rail loco im looking to do the same and was wondering what make of loco you started with and where I can get the detailing kit from or have you plans you could send me many thanks and keep up the good work look forward to seeing more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 20, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2013 Silver is the new yellow red blue 60066 is apparently being painted up to replace Tata liveried 60099. This'll tie in nicely with plans to do 67026 or 67029....... Cheers, Mick The airbrush has been in action. 60066 Awaiting black grilles and transfers. 67029 & 82146 These will carry the newer DB version for the Management train. Transfers from Precision Decals Orange/yellow/black is the new silver yellow red blue 70801 Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 21, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) The 60 is coming along nicely - the black grilles set it off well. After varnish, I'll probably apply the orange cantrail stripe and then leave it until I can obtain the Drax branding. The prototype 67029 has a refelective stripe along the bottom edge. The body moulding has a "step down" along the lower edge under the cabside so I've also put in the thinnest of black edges to line up with the cast chassis. Pity they aren't too visible in this pic! I still have to modify the TDM connector on the front, as 029 has deeper than normal connector box on one side. 82146 is also ready for a coat of laquer- the "streaks" by the side door handles are nowhere near as visible in normal lighting Next up will be a layer of varnish before applying the transfers. (70801 will also be varnished at the same time) In the meantime, work still progresses on the yellow stuff - 99666/977985/977974/977868/1256 are nearly there. Pics soon.

Pete Harvey Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Mick Are those streak marks from the paint stripping from the door handles of the DVT showing up in the silver paint or is that just a trick of the light in the picture?
