RMweb Gold SHMD Posted June 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2016 Do you think SLW would want to be associated with a loco in such poor condition? Kev. (Lovely lovely work.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Apart from the white pipes on the bogies, I haven't been brave enough to tackle weathering mine, yet. Yours looks good, Paul. You're much braver than me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryoon Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I popped down to the Chatham show today. I'm not really that into model trains these days. I have a couple of Noch Z Scale prefab layouts to play with but I barely touch them as my main hobby is arcade games (90's era original hardware and Japanese arcade cabinets). Needless to say I still pop down to the show every other year for a browse and to pick up some electrical contact cleaner (there's some good stuff that a stand sells). Anyway, i was mooching around and then I saw the stand for these guys and couldn't believe what I was seeing, the quality of the models, the amazing sound - particularly the way the sound has been programmed, just blew me away. I have no 00 layout, in fact I sold all my stuff year before last for a stupid low amount to one of the dealers at the Chatham show, my own fault for being an idiot and let him rip me off. With that said, I just want to buy one of these things, just to see it poodle up and down a piece of track. Apparently they can make the sound work with analogue which was something I didn't know they could do (I got out of trains as a main hobby before all this DCC malarky). It's a fair amount of money to plonk down for a glorified shelf queen, but GODDAM it's FINE. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauliebanger Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 the amazing sound - particularly the way the sound has been programmed, just blew me away. Thanks very much for the compliment. Anyone going to the Perth Show can also see these beautiful models displayed and demonstrated on my sound demo stand (number 50) amongst many others with similar sound systems. Ask politely and you can have a drive - I'm not flogging anything so don't be shy. Kind regards, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (24 081) on the vans, looks like it may ? have a revised main rad grille etch fitted - it appears to look finer than the standard fit one ? You spotted that too. Having said that a finer boiler room etch must have been manufactured/trialed prior to production as one has always been on display in the "plate" since the Tarporley launch.

If you are going to Perth, I'll have some with me on my sound demo stand including the latest green version launched last week at Chatham so you can see what you think with the evidence before your eyes. (and 'factory fitted' sound in your ears). Kind regards, Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) SO is there an alternative version of the grille available?, or do the new ones have the same version as the original batch of releases?. The main grille is in my opinion the only (minor) fault on these locos, being able to improve that area would make them virtually faultless.

Craigw Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I looked through this thread and the photos when the model came out. Then, a friend of mine purchased one as a bit of an indulgence. I have to say that I was really impressed. So impressed that i decided to buy one. Any company that will supply a RTR P4 loco is good in my books. Not exactly sure how I fit it into my mid 1920s theme GWR though! Regards Craig W 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm81 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm still thinking up excuses to run my 24081 on my layout based in 1984, bit easier than North American H0 though I guess! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_R Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 24 063 arrived yesterday, not had much time to run it yet but it sounds just as good as D 5000. Snatched a few pics to post with my phone.... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 SLight shame that 24063 was picked instead of one with the different tank arrangement, but good nonetheless. Just needs the scratches down the side from the collision in 1977 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
