Yeah, it's a Shawplan etch, and like with all Brian's stuff, once you get your head around how it fits together, it's a pleasure to work with. Cheers, Phil.

Wayne 37901 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 So how will it be dragged when it fails? Indeed, certainly this will have to be allowed for as it's a Deltic so it's bound to just 'sit down' at some point! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted December 20, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2018 The Deltic is complete apart from the roller blinds, so while I decide how to sort them out I've started something else !! Cheers, Phil. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted December 20, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) This is the interior of what I've started !! A Realtrack 156 in EMT livery. It's a great looking model that, other than weathering, needs very little doing to it. The interior lighting highlighted the fact the inside is very red, and lacking passengers. The interior moulding being produced in the colour of the seat cloth, with the centre aisle having the floor painted to match the carpet of the real thing, seems like the most reasonable compromise the manufacturer could make, but I figured I could add a bit of a personal touch to mine. I've painted the seat sides and backs pale Grey, the rest of the floor dark Blue, the table tops pale Cream, the armrests Black, and the seat grab handles pale Blue, to match interior pics of the real thing. Before and after comparison pics show up the difference it makes. Passengers and crew to be added after the second half is painted ! Cheers, Phil.

I might even find a bike to stick in one end ( don't try to deny that made you snigger !! ) Can't believe I've been looking for reference pics of EMT staff uniforms, if only I knew someone that would know.........

Jack374 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 The safe word is Willington. No tie and a safe word, eh! Not sure I want to know what you get up to in your spare time..... Besides, EMT services don’t frequent Willington...of course, you'd only research these things if you had a layout based around there. I’m back in Lancashire for Crimbo anyhow so I can’t help unfortunately...let me know if you’re still stuck Phil and I’ll get some photos next time I’m lineside near there. Jack.
