Baggies1961 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 No need to as she is now my ex….I wonder if coming to the dark side made her mind up?? I still live with her and do receive rather discourteous looks still when large parcels arrive, on such a frequent basis the DPD driver is almost a member of the family with his own key!! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaiting the phone call from them…. Although they're so far down my wants list I will probably never get one; I hope these will be really good, reliable models. I think they might be as big a boost to 7mm converts as the Dapol 08 and that GWR steam loco thingy.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a 121 which I presume will be largely the same and fortunately the pre-order gang have already gone over the top and are testing them for us I see some have sold out before release which I think is a worrying trend from a consumer perspective. I accept that I am picky but I am reluctant to buy unseen even from a manufacturer I generally like. Edited August 20, 2021 by Hal Nail 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would offer up and then use fine files and small sanding blocks (400 grit) to remove the original frame with constant checking for a fit. I always work against an image too. Good luck with it - pleased they are what you wanted. Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
