RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sorry my mistake, the two ribbed ones being pulled by the 37. Everyone knows what an OBA looks like! I thinks its an MHA or similar. Back down to the servants quarters if you would old chap.. Shouldn't you know, you're the spotter after all! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the MHA? not to be confused with the black or blue MFA I think I might have 'over purchased' on the MHAs Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) MHA's are possibly the most common of the four wheelers around now. There are two distinct body types. That produced by Hornby with 16 side ribs, 6 end ribs and the later version with 11 side and 5 end ribs - available as a resin body from S-kits The MFA's are now less common, but don't forget the MTA (produced by Bachmann - the underframe is for the early TTA swing ling suspension, but that's another can of worms) Some of the MTA's are cut down MKA (the MKA is also by Bachmann) and feature a slightly higher end panel Many of the cut down MTA's have "yard-brush" paint jobs and are easy to do. This started life as a Bachy MKA Cheers, Mick Edited December 8, 2014 by newbryford 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hello Phil, Love the progress you've achieved on this layout, it looks superb! Is it DC or DCC? Regards, Matt Thanks Matt It's DCC - I have the Gaguemaster Prodigy II (I think) and even though I've got a box full of point motors, I've never got round to fitting them. I was going to build a panel with switches/lights as I have a problem with working out which route is set (as some on here will attest to). I would still like the indicator lights, but might go for the accessory controller thingy used by Ian on Tidworth where you can run 8/16? off one card, although don't hold your breath.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is there a wagons for dummies book available I wonder? Christmas pressie idea! Wagon Recognition Vol 1 by Martin Buck & Mark Rawlinson is a very good place to start. This covers TOPS codes B-W (Vol 2 covers TOPS codes X-Z for the special stuff) Other sites to purchase are probably available.

Beresford Junction Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Evening all Track all now fully connected with one of the points moved slightly, just need to get it wired up now. Thanks to David (of the Dover trilogy) for the offer of some grannite topping but I found myself with a free evening so decided to try with some Metcalfe paving slabs. It still needs painting but looks ok. Oh and the depot has started to fill up with locos.... Phil 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 So much for the brief EWS interlude, look what just turned off from the Cardiff Rod Mill. And construction has just started on an even longer (8') shed. Phil 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bit of a disaster on the shed construction front - I seem to have lost my essential modelling tool - the saw !?! Anyway rather than waste the time down there, I decided to pay trains - did someone mention a steel yard? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
