In that case you may find the main lights on ''0'' and the Nose lights are on ''10'' so that can be turned off for Double Heading. I will double check mine later and let you know if its different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 A ‘hack’ or an enthusiast? Maybe heard a rumour that the Dapol 122 is on its way? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Class 37421 Colas. Arrived with bits dropped off and a brake shoe missing Credit to Roger at Tower as he arranged for Gaugemaster to send me some spare bogie frames, hopefully the missing brake shoe and cow catcher are on it. Fingers crossed. Heljan, surely a packaging upgrade with the board and loco attached to it is due?? 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 37405 in DRS Livery. Few issues as per the Colas 37 with bits dropping off in post. This one has one brake chain missing and one to be fixed in place as one end has come out and is hanging down. With poor eye sight this isn't going to be easy to fix back in place.

Baggies1961 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thanks Ade, I’m really sold on the Zimo and Paul Chetter sound and prefer it to the loksound I have already. Just marred slightly with the packaging issue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the active braking, it can be set up on the ESU chip, I have it on my 50, and apparently the ESU is actually the superior chip I’m advised 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 A rather dirty Class 37417 sits in the platform taking over from 37405, whilst her sister 37405 is going on a long journey tomorrow to hopefully be reviewed for a magazine.

Baggies1961 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Found a Pipe wagon Id forgotten I bought. So this week have been building it. Some were converted to ODA’s and painted in R/Freight livery so thought Id see what it looked like, just waiting for the grey paint to arrive. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Found some railfreight transfers just need a data panel and have asked Steve Bell if he can do some for me. Also the paint arrived from Antics this morning. Weathering to complete. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
