Popular Post kevpeo Posted March 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 Most of it is indeed N-Brass Kat, the rest is brass section and wire with Sommerfelt insulators. Sorry to say that not much (ie nowt!) has happened lately but the modelling juices have slowly started to flow again. A few small projects for Loch Dour have been finished and I want to get this finished before re-starting the EMU's. 25kv Plastic! For a mate! I really need an exhibition deadline badly!

Do you have any info on how you made this loco? I presume it is on a CL 68 chassis and a modified body? Thanks Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Indeed Peter, it is bits of two class 68 bodies on a modified 68 chassis, with a lot of scratch-built bits too! Once you study photo's, the differences become many! Kev. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kevpeo Posted December 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 After a long,(very long) hiatus, I finally summoned up the energy to push on with the 309! Once I started, the mojo came back for a bit! First the interiors - Mostly made from Replica coach interior moulding seats. These were chopped off the mouldings. It was a lot of work but I had them given! And here she is posing on Parrot Hall - The pantograph is a rare beast, a Hurst Models non high speed pan! I built the first two of these back in the day, one for Andrew Hurst and one for me. And I wrote the instructions, if they were ever used! She made her first showing on Coppell at Newcastle show and ran all weekend with no issues. Parrot Hall will be appearing at Canterbury show in January if anyone south of Watford wants to see it in the flesh! Kev. 21 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The 309 looks great, but I have always had a soft spot for them, but I was used to seeing them in blue/grey then Jaffa & NSE before they were re-located. The other thing which I noticed is your track: Is it Peco with the sleepers re-spaced? What a huge improvement this makes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpeo Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Parrot Hall has had a good clean up ready for its trip to Canterbury this weekend. Finally a few small details I've been meaning to do have been added too - The ''mysterious fridge'' for one, I cannot believe the other Kev did not get that reference! Seen above that is a small parts bin outside the factory and alongside the fridge a discarded mattress! Further along - The obligatory discarded shopping trolley! Just the EMU's wheels to clean now. See you down south! Kev. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
