cheesysmith Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It only came about because you said you were going to build one, so I thought I would see if I could get there first lol. I actually had a DC kits 105 sat here, and was going to use that, but the roofs were too wide for the MTK cast cabs I had acquired. That's when I had the brainwave (yes, it hurt lol) of trying the cab against trix roof. They matched almost perfectly, so some triang sides cut and shut later and robert is your relative. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted May 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2021 Today found I had run out of pinpoint bearings when I had 5 MJT frames to do (done a pair), and 2 Airfix B set carriages, and a Comet pair. OOOPS! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 120 is coming along OK, currently doing the TSLB bogies and just cleaned some gangways to fit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) A train related question. The 105 DMU, how many were built with the single window and how many with the twin windows in the guards van? Asking as I have a version of each built from DC kits.

cheesysmith Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just found the answer on the railcar site, 58 single guards van window Vs 81 twin window. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the perpetrators of this can remain fairly anonymous behind the costumes ... or are they protecting us from what they actually look like ... ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Two things, the second video reminded me where I had seen that big red guy before, a slight case of OTT. And, I don't know about any body else, but I did get some modeling done today, even if it was just some paint. The chance of any more this week is low due to the horrible idea someone had called work. It keeps getting in the way of what you want to do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I know the feeling. The conversation in my head at that time goes like this "it is midnight, time for bed" "but I just had a idea, get the knife and saw out, we can cut`n`shut X" "no, it is sleep time" "but..." "sleep" "but..." etc etc Even when knackered, it still goes on. Of course, what ever wonderful idea i had at stupid o clock i cannot remember the next day lol. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 28, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2021 A rant about new models and modellers reactions to them. "It is the wrong shape". " That doesn't matter it goes Brummm Brummm (or Chuff chuff)" " And the lights look fantastic"..............No there are ones that shouldn't be on, do you drive with the interior light on? Noise and looking like a Christmas tree is more important than the shape. 5 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
