Baggies1961 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hi Al, where do you get yours from? Can you do active braking with the ESU? Cheers julan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Class 58 arrived back yesterday and as Zimos are rarer than rockin horse poo, I went back to an ESU c/w active braking, twin speakers. For some strange reason, Heljan went for a different colour yellow on the engine sides, hopefully weathering will tone that down. Name plates fitted, excellent realtec transfers and extras from the bag added. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Mum passed away Christmas Day after a long battle with cancer and at 92 was an inspiration to me on the courage and bravery she showed.

Baggies1961 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Heljan PCA being the other wagon type. The coupling hook is a tad bulky and will require filing or replacing. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
