Nice easy EM conversion using original wheels opened out and supplied cranked brake disc shoes. Thanks Rapido for accommodating the finer scale brigade . Just a small plea , could the tales on the superb screw couplings be made a bit longer as they are capable of being used . I have them running on my Shenston road using supplied couplings but would have liked a bit more to push into the buffer beam to aid fixing so to speak. Nice one Rapido great value.

How about supplying the models with fine scale wheels but making course scale wheels available for those with course scale track. Its a shame to see the standards drop for compromise after all they are labelled accurascale . It may help to increase modelling standards after all that's what most of us strive for. Just a thought cheers Greg

Latest one to the Shenston fleet and a long way from home 5105 in Tyne dock garb . Re numbered ,boiler water tanks taken off and remove and fill boiler roof exhaust and roof hatch and add high level air pipe for operating Consett ore hops and finished off with light weathering copied from pic. Although l operate DC l chose the sound version for this one as the feature works well enough to warrant the extra cost .

Stunning Phil ,looking forward to these.

I have bought 20 3 hole EM gauge AG wheels recently and they have all been pressed onto the axle off center during manufacturer rendering them useless. Very disappointed

5 Accurscale PTAs added to my Scratch built fleet with another 5 ready to be converted to EM on Shenston road .Nice simple conversion .

Hi Ruston The coil body was an old Trix which was surprisingly accurate so l added various chassis parts from the Appleby range to model various fitted and unfitted examples l could find in pics l have collected.

The best looking loco in my opinion.

Drawing down off the branch.

Industrial grime glorious grime.

Trix do this version very similar to the Dissington torpedo that is occasionally available via Guagemaster that are run out on my Shenston road complete with an ex LMS brake van chassis spacer wagon modeled from pics Mark Saunders kindly sent me.

Can you fix it ?

A Yorkshire in the Midlands.

A flurry of activity on B.S.C. Shenston . Hornby Sentinel reguaged to EM and a couple of Clark kits roll wagons
