Popular Post P.C.M Posted November 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2022 Well it's been a while since my last update. But I have recently done some work in my Dapol brake van. It's a great model but I thought I would improve the roof with some more modern rainstrips. Also on the work bench is the first Heljan loco I bought, it's been in bits for years but I finally made a start on removing the cowling and making up the Pete Harvey bufferbeams. 26 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Fingersfred66 Posted November 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2022 The Pete Harvey bufferbeam looks great, I have one to do myself and would be interested to see how you fix it in place if you could show a picture please that would be really helpfull. Thanks Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony Hi Tony, the Pete Harvey bufferbeam etch is glued onto the back of the old Heljan bufferbeam which is attached to the main chassis by a couple of screws. Hope that helps.

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted January 19, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2023 I do like your peak. I mostly model green but bought a blue one. It was a poor runner though so I sent it back to Tower who were very good and sent a replacement out before mine even arrived back. Unfortunately, and I'm still not sure how I did this, I told them it was green so I ended up with the wrong colour and neither of us noticed till too late. Every time I see this thread reminds me I must get round to respraying it, although will turn it into a 46 first. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 37423 is nearly finished. I need to add just a little bit more weathering and a decoder. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 37423 is pretty much done. I ended up removing one motor and hard wiring in a 21 pin decoder reblown with biffo sound. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Actually got some work done on the layout recently. The road bridge is coming together quite well though i was hoping to be further along at this point. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 I had the chance to set the layout up this weekend. The idea was to test and sort trackwork going into the fiddleyard as I had had some issues with track hight. Between boards. I also wanted to sort out my mock up of the shed as I thought it looked a bit on the large side. It's now a bit smaller and looks better. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a lot of Humbrol 26 which gives nice a light brown. probably mixed it with a bit of black light grey. with a touch of bry brushing 26 and some white after.
