delticman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks for the reply Trevellan, I feared it might have traction tyres; at least now before I go and buy one I will check the availability of spare wheelsets to re-wheel the power bogie. Oh and a ton of lead to give it some traction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.C Martin Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Having seen Hornby Magazine's conversion last month, I have decided the Limby 40 is definitely for me - minus the sound, plus a DCC chip. Watch this space - I want two green ones...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluex5 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Having seen Hornby Magazine's conversion last month, I have decided the Limby 40 is definitely for me - minus the sound, plus a DCC chip. Watch this space - I want two green ones...! I like the Limby 40 alot, but I thought Hornby Magazine's conversion was pretty lazy - they could of at least masked the SYP the correct shape! It's not too much of a stretch to do proper handrails and lamp irons either. Having done this to all 3 varieties of the original Lima shell I can testify it looks pretty good. Even better if your brave enough to add the windscreen etch which really does make it look "right". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
