This one is actually mine, (shock horror!), returned to the workshop for a service. I decided to re-wire whilst I was at it, the original was a bit messy. Also fitted with a Rail Exclusive 55x20x10 'chunky boom box'. This thing now really screams.... Want.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 So. After ruining a Heljan 0 gauge DCC pcb board, an alternative solution had to be found to wire a 21 pin chip in. I managed to source the appropriate header pins, a bit of soldering and heatshrink, and we are out of a sticky situation! 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Heljan 0 gauge class 60, repainted into Colas livery, sound fitted and lightly weathered. And yes, I know a windscreen wiper is missing, still trying to source some! 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 The first of a few of the recently released Heljan 0 gauge class 03s in the workshop rolling off the bench. Paintwork has been gently faded, Zimo/Paul Chetter soundfitted, and a suitable layer of typical GD grime clagged on. And yes, the odd electrification flash and other small detail have not been altered to match prototype images, customer did not require this A truly wonderful model. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 00 gauge 56076. A local 'pet' locomotive, modelled in it's slightly bling state after naming, and further tarted up for the Hexham open day, I think of 1984. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Here we have a quartet of 0 gauge class 45s that have been repainted, and are about to be weathered. Well, 3 of them are anyways. Can you spot the one that hasn't used transfers from my preferred supplier? This particular set were supplied by my customer, from the so called 'top dog' of the transfer world. Might just be me, but I have always had issues with these particular transfers....this just goes to prove I'm glad I went against the grain and don't use them! Locos have all been treated exactly the same way, primed, painted, glossed, transfers, and then gloss sealed. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 No sun today, torrential rain and fog. However the mist seems to work a treat for photography. Just finished....Heljan 0 gauge class 47, repainted, weathered, sound fitted, all of the usual trimmings. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the supplier I think it is I have had similar problems with transfers for a wagon but the loco ones have been ok. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_crisp Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Interesting to hear you've had issues... I'm not sure who you are referring to but I've had issues with waterslide numerals from pretty much all suppliers! Large decals seem ok though. I do like the DRD dry rub transfers as they leave no film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I know who you are speaking of, but I’ve had no problems with them and find their stuff generally better than the other ones, who seem to turn yellow a bit quick ( although their other stuff and customer service is great ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Another finished 31 today. This time a Railfreight grey repaint as 31125. The repaint was done by Andrew Donnelly, weathering and soundfitting by me. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
