RMweb Gold Richard_A Posted November 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2011 what are the best/most accurate sizes of microstrip to use for roof detaing on diesel locos? I need to add a few strips to a couple of locos to represent the edges of the individual roof panels aswell as the gutter strip on coaches and dmu's. cheers-rik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2011 10 thou square is the closest I've found And that may still be a little on the large side for some parts on the prototype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jim s-w Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 How longs a bit of string? It totally depends on what class you are talking about. Can you be a tad more specific? Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you be a tad more specific? Cheers Jim Sorry didn't think that there would be much difference between parts To start with ive bought the shawplan roof parts for the class 50 and ive replaced the exhaust panels with the new ones and I need some strip to fit at the end of them. I've been doing a Hornby class 25 to class 24 and need some strip to go around the boiler recess which i will need to cut in to the roof and I might need to add the gutterstrip over the front windows. hope this is clearer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2011 Buy a pack of the 10 thou square, maybe 20 by 10 and 20 by 20 as well Them match up against the model, I don't think you can get any smaller than 10 by 10 I think I used that when I did my 50, certainly have used it on 37s and 67s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
