Class 100 driving trailer in the Fison's weedkilling train in the 1980s as spray coach/DVT Having recently acquired the Invicta 2 coach pack (which doesn't actually include a spray coach) I was wondering is any kind of decent approximation could be done from this? Hi Ravenser, I have built, but not finished, a Gloucester 100 for a two car Hybrid set with a Craven 105. It was a complicated affair utilising a Hornby Mk2 with the windows of the 110 let into it and scratch built ends. I'll only build one ! https://www.railcar.co.uk/images/12979 Gibbo. 8 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a plan that so far seems working, avoid telly if you can. This evenings tea is a good example of why one should steer clear of the goggle box. While eating tea Mrs M had the Yorkshire Vet on. He was castrating young horses. I was eating meatballs. Most evenings I disappear into the train room, listening to music while I model or run trains. Then catch up with you lot and faceache, followed by more music on You Tube. I have been watching this lady quite a bit recently, I wasn't too sure about her to start with but I like her now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnCIcauyKmQ I have done some model making this evening, cutting out windows on a Hornby sleeper to make a SK.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The only thing I watch on TV is the splendid range of old films on Talking Pictures TV. Sometimes trains appear. Proper trains, not the buses with snouts that infest the current 'railway' scene. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I don`t know if to blame you Clive, or siggi69, but I was comparing the trix sides with my book of railway plans, and now am starting on a second trix cut and shut, after the one I have just started that is (well, that's the idea, lets see how long it is before i start on the second one). 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 On 09/09/2020 at 23:46, TheSignalEngineer said: I started with a bit of up a Lima 42'BG and Siphon with the correct bogies and a bit of weathering. My follow up idea was to make an LMS Period 2 BT from an Airfix Lav brake. I then bought a Comet Push-pull cab etch but didn't like the way it fitted to the Airfix body shape so I made my own end. Out of all the bits I had I made a non-corridor 3rd. Hornby brought out the Period 3 suburbans so I bought a brake and a compo. After the next run a box shifter was selling a bulk pack so I had a BT and another non-corridor coach left over. I sold the one and used the Comet end on the BT to make a P3 Push-pull. As I went from success to success with these I decided to make a rake of LMS Vestibule stock for an excursion set using Comet sides. Whilst cutting up the donors I realised I could make a Period 1 all-door TK and a BCK which were never done by Mainline, Replica or Bachmann. The bits left over from those will make a 57' Ambulance Coach to BG conversion. Currently just waiting some finishing is a Class 122 DTS to go with my Dapol bubble car. It gets a bit addictive once you start. I must be missing something? I have read this three times and I still can't see how you use LMS coach parts for a Class 122 DTS? Seriously, I need one of them, so I'd love to know what you used? Many thanks Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Paul The DTS isn't from LMS bits, although they did a cut'n'shut to produce a DMU from some old coaches. They were two-window BTOs 9821 and 9828 running on bogies from withdrawn DC Lines stock and a Paxman engine in each coach. You can make a Gloucester DTS from a Lima 117 centre coach chassis and a DMBS body with the brake compartment removed and new sections for the sides and extra seats available from Silver Fox or DIY from the body and interior of the centre coach. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I just had a laugh today, I got my copy of the PDH drawings out for the AC EMUs. My god, how wrong can they be? I can make better models without even measuring anything, but just working from the compartments on the replica coaches and looking at videos on youtube and pictures of the EMUs I`m building. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Can i just say, yes, they are good, but the original is better. Their version emphasizes the female vocals too much, whereas the original has the contrast between the male and female vocals to add more to the song. Linkin Park, a much missed band, and the songs are still great today. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
