Wot about the news Sutton Locomotive Works are going to make a class 25 with a late body. Perhaps Heljan will listen to those who say, have another look at photos of the real ones and your model. Late body! does that mean they send you the chassis first and then the body follows in a later parcel? richard 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again it may never have been on them in the first place! Hi Bogie, All that is needed is for you to get on the phone to the bobby and get him to put you on the right track.

The woman in white boots in the opening scene of the video reminded me of the joke, "What is worse than lipstick on your collar ? Fake tan in your ears !" I might also venture that, should end up with her fake tan in your ears you might also end up with your neck in a collar. Gibbo. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Just been watching some bits on evilbay. A DC kits 105 went for 65 notes, but a MTK class 100 kit for £102???????? WTF. I might have had a punt if it was cheap enough to make up for the work needed to complete it, but seriously, that much to MTK? 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind prices often go bonkers on a Sunday, particularly in the evening. My theory is that it's retail therapy for folk looking forward to work on Monday morning! Best bargains are usually in the midweek, early pm. John. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean I am sitting on a fortune with my odd shaped cast white metal and bent sheet aluminum bits in a box marked scale models?

Flying Fox 34F Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Clive, I’ve been off model making since early December. It’ll come back. I’ve just started dusting down the project I started back in April. I now remember what I had done so far, next is draw up a list of outstanding jobs, then find all the bits and pieces to finish it. If I feel brave I may post a picture somewhere when I’m happy with it. Paul 2 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I too am suffering from lack of productive enthusiasm. I was hoping to show my latest cut and shut, but wanted to get some undercoat on it first (and Clive, we do know you understand, evidence to the otherwise). It would have just been warm enough last week for a quick coat, but only finished it this week, and too cold. And I am off to this week (I think when my manager realised I was looking at 12 week's holiday owed in the coming year, there was a distinctive squeak from his bottom lol). Serious question. Been looking at DMU photos, and would I be right in saying the Derby built DMUs had a flat topped headcode box? Trying to convert some DC kits cabs to the headcode box version. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cheesy To start off I am also in the doldrums when it comes to toy trains. I have been watching loads of videos on ex Soviet locos, some you can buy but just short of 500 notes for a Roco 2M62, I think I will stick to UK outline. Derby DMUs 'eadcode boxes 107s, 108s and 115s YES flat....127s NO, they were curved topped. Built the same time as 115s so why clueless. I had to double check so I goggled images and when I done the 127 this monstrosity was 10th image, their algorithm must be on the blink. Note 3 scratchbuilt locos in the background PAINTED. A song for tonight. Yes I know there is a fella in the band. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
