RMweb Premium MJI Posted July 2, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2022 Nothing to see but have done another coat of yellow on the cabs of the 120 and have ordered 2 Dapol LMS van bodies from Hattons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted July 9, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9, 2022 Just started another van, and for the Dapol bodies I can't find my LMS clasp braked chassis parts so ordered another. So another 3 vans on the production line. The ex GWR BCK is having another primer coat. So for my 1960 or so layout Got 3 wagons ready a pile I am going to use old RTR of decent quality Almost 20 kits varying from part assembled to on final painting before transfers.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted December 3, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is a Collett BTK, same diagram as the preserved one ex DFR now on DVR. Seen a picture of one on a Cornish branch, I need a few carriages so started with this. It was started after the C83s, but first to be completed. Now to my thoughts on Comet. Well this will be quite long. They are a very good base but you do need to have an idea on what you are doing, in general the sides are good, but the chassis are a little crude, roofs are a tiny bit generic, but OK, bogies are weird, I prefer MJT frames and bogie sides. The castings are acceptable but not great, they are good enough for layout carriages. I find the insides are cumbersome, so I run off partitions and corridor wall on the Cameo 4 and use the supplied seats. Comet sides are generally 10/10, underframes 7/10, bogies 5/10, general castings 6/10. Their range however is excellent. If I could afford it I would use MJT castings on one, but they do not do all the bogie sides required. For corridor mark 1s I would prefer to use Lima shell and roof, MJT vents, Comet sides, Underframe a mix of Plastruct, Replica, Comet parts with Replica bogies. All said I would wholeheartedly recommend a Comet kit as the range is indespensable. Now to order another C54 and either a C61/C63 or a C66/C75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
