My detailing/repainting projects


Recommended Posts

Hi, Lee, I've been on RMWeb for some years but never posted. I have recently moved over from 4mm to 7mm and have bought a Class 25/3 that is missing the large grill. I wonder if you can signpost me in the right direction to get a replacement. The Signalbox are out of spares and are not replying to my emails. With no shows on I'm a bit lost what to do.

Regards GG

Morning Gordon. It's Gaugemaster you need for Heljan spares. Unfortuntely they are your only option.

Look great Lee, I guess you will have a few coming in. I have one on order and going to add some details but to date I have drawn a blank on the source of some guard irons for the front of the bogies, is there a source you can recommend please?

Never come across those as an aftermarket part. Scratchbuild?

Lee, quick question. 

What size wiring do you use for dcc sound etc? I'm about to fit one to a DJH 37 but confused about wire sizes like 30awg? A nod in the right direction would be appreciated thanks.

The new Heljan 37/0 looks good, considering one as D6700 in backdated late 90's condition.

Hiya, I use 7/0.2 for the motors and pickups, standard 00 gauge DCC wire for the lighting, think its 0.25mm.

The last 2 months have seen a significant amount of 'bench downtime', what with a workshop refurb, many, many sales of personal stock, and a much needed weeks break. Happy to report that we are now back up to full speed, and a lot of finished customer commissions are going to feature during October :-)

 

Today a couple of 4mm weathering jobs, a class 37 and 117 DMU.

Morning guys. today's post/finished item is one of a trio of Heljan 0 gauge 50s, all finished as 50046 'Ajax'. These are full repaints, sexy black roof, cantrail stripes, and tatty weathering. Fitted with Legoman sound and a huge pair of EM3 speakers.
