Your modelling skills certainly influences us and I agree about never having too many GWR pannier tanks. 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Chris said. Influenced to improve my modelling. I also have the same attitude to panniers as to ancient motorcycles. The ideal number is that which you already have, plus one. 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian I'm obviously more mercenary than you, because I took a free copy anyway. Perhaps they spotted my name badge and decided "we don't want any of that there here". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of clear plastic, I used bits of Ratio kit packaging on my 2251, the originals were horrible and about a scale 6 inches thick anyway, this was my first attempt at flush glazing.

LostinUSA Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Kevin, A question from an aging British modelling novice trying to get started on a British outline OO layout while stuck in the USA. I'm using Little Muddle as a inspirational resource. I'm pretty clueless about how a track layout is designed and assembled. I read way back in this thread that your track is Peco code 75. You also commented that you removed spring housings from points. Am I correct in assuming the points were standard/purchased Peco products before you modified them? Or did you build your points and slips yourself to fit your layout (or have them made for you)? Best regards! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse the dust! Thanks It is my intention, one day to fit glazing to quite a few locos where the glazing has been removed but at the moment it hasn't happen.....keep moving onto other projects. But I do agree that the supplied glazing looked like Mr Magoo glasses.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you build your points and slips yourself to fit your layout (or have them made for you)? Best regards! Welcome. Very kind of you to refer to my layout as an inspirational resource, means a lot. All my trackwork is Code 75 including the points. The points are modified to make them look better, well to my eyes that is, and rely on the SEEP PM 1 point motor to hold them in place which to date has worked very well. Back in Jan 2018 (published Sept) I wrote an article for the BRM on how I altered their appearance. Basically I rewired them, there are many articles on this so I copied them and they do seem to work much better on my DCC layout. The first thing I did was remove the sleeper ends marked B, then trimmed the rod marked A so it was not noticeable, then changed the point direction and trimmed the other end. Spring housing removed, infilled under the point with some black plastic (to stop the ballast falling through), filled with ballast ensuring clear of point operation and all given some weathering treatment. Top of original point Point with spring housing in place but trimming work done. Spring removed This has been working like this since late 2017 with no problems.

I prefer all in focus Kevin. I find the out of focus background a bit of a distraction. Presumably you have used some of your clever programmes to get all in focus? I've just posted one this morning where I managed to get the background sharp, but the front of the loco not, which I'm not happy with, but out of focus backgrounds and shopping lattice signals is not a good idea. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
