MRDBLUE17 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi Peter, Not caught up for a bit the layout is looking fantastic, the new part is taking shape well with the scenics going in. I like your model of D200 looks very nice. Just a suggestion with your sound it does vary between locos but with a 66 I found putting the speaker facing up under the grills but covering the underside with black electrical tape increased the volume and sound as the space in the loco body made a bigger housing and worked well. The 40 is a similar length and might have the same effect as you said covering the grill with your hand made it louder? Might be worth a try. Bifs sounds are very good I have a 108 to fit next after playing with his model at Glasgow on Charlie's stand. I like the brake van on the flask I keep looking at doing a coal one with the wasp stripes but finding decent pics of them is hard to come by. All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Mark, I think my class 40 is sounding better now but I will remember that tip. I have a few others that could sound a bit better. I have a few Bif sounds now but I haven't got a DMU yet. The brake van is a Bachmann that I have detailed but the paint job is Bachmann's it's in the Electrification livery, they were used on the Overhead wire trains. but seemed to turn up on other trains. I am not sure if Bachmann have done the coal sector livery. Paul Bartletts Wagons site should have a few pics, there were quite a few about, TOPS code would be CAR. I noticed your thread has gone quite. Are you building a new layout or just working on stock? Looks like some nice layouts going to the DEMU show this year a mate of mine from here is going this year I will have to make him a list of bits to get me. Cheers Peter.

Popular Post P.C.M Posted April 13, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi All, Just an update to show I am still doing a bit. I have just come back from a holiday in Adelaide which was great I even got a few train pics. I also took a couple of Parkside VEA kits which I made a start on, I also painted a few peoples. Having not run the layout for over a month I cleaned the track Sunday morning and had a bit of a running session. 25109 is on ECS duties and is passed by a 108 and 08695 on a trip from the station yard, also classmate 25904 passes by on a ballast. Cheers Peter. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nice job on the semaphores!! Thanks Mate, They are made from the Ratio kits some of which are changed to suit my needs. It would be nice to wire them up and have them working may be one day. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hey Peter, Love the 25's, Mixed Mk2D's, Blue/Grey and IC eh? I've just acquired a few Dapol Mk2D's in IC to go with a Mk1 RMB when I find one. Hope you had a nice holiday? Jinty ;-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just acquired a few Dapol Mk2D's in IC to go with a Mk1 RMB when I find one. Hope you had a nice holiday? Jinty ;-) Hi Jinty, I think the Airfix/Dapol MK2ds are quite good, all I have done is change the wheels fit Kadee's paint the roofs fit no smoking signs on the blue grey ones I painted the white line that goes between the blue and the Grey. I still run old Hornby MK2s with flush glazing as replacing it all with the new stuff is too expensive for me though I do have some Bachmann MK2s to do. The Holiday was good thanks it's nice to get away. All being well the UK is next year. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in the pic are a mix of Bachmann and Dart castings. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi Peter Haven't popped in for a while I've been that busy with my layout. The bridges look nice, you've done a good job on those. I've got to build two for Peak Dale, so if you fancy a job.....LOL. Hope the gouts better I've been told it can be pretty painful. Nice modelling as always.

P.C.M Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 A few pics from playing trains today. 47535 drops down onto it's train passing two class 40s in the holding sidings. Trans-Pennine trains meet as 45150 arrives from York while sister loco 45111 waits too leave for Newcastle. 25224 heads down the branch on a flask train.

Marcus 37 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Some really nice pictures there Peter. I do like you're D200. Often fancied a 40 myself. I think it would either have to be D200 or 40145 as they would fit somewhere in my timescales. The 25s on the flasks look good too.

Popular Post P.C.M Posted April 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 More pics from the other day. 25109 rattles away in platform 1 while waiting to leave on another ECS working. 20023 and 20154 head for Stanlow on the daily oil train. Shortly after and not normally booked for 20s 20121 and 20169 pass on a ballast train from Carnforth. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Hi Peter, There's a nice sweeping flow to those curves. I've just noticed the ground signal too. I've never installed ground signals before. I really should investigate them! Some nice 20s there too!
