pilkko Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I can see more locos losing the nrn pods as the system is fazed out with gsmr taking over. Good spot though as it's something you normally never take notice of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 6, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Having found a good reason to get the DBS red back out (08907), I have another....... 08907 has peeked out from the paintshop. A little bit of touching up, OLE flashes and cantrail lines to be added. Transfers being progressed I haven't checked back through the Class 60 refurb program to find out which was the first loco to have the NRN pod removed, but I know that my previous DBS red repaint 60054 has them - phew! So for anyone wishing to repaint a 60 in DBS red - have a look if it's fitted with NRN pods It's probably going to be a simple job to remove,but it means that I will have to touch up the red. Cheers, Mick And back to 60062 with the lack of NRN roof pods - it looks like 60015 onwards haven't had them refitted. A few minutes with a sharp scalpel and file Then the red paint DBS transfers are next from the Precision labels catalogue. The DRS 20/3's are getting ready for a photocall.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2013 noticed earlier that they must have had some paint left over from the 08, the wood around the top of the booking on point/shunt cabin at bescot has had a coat of schenker red too!!

virginhst539 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 had a quick look in rail express today and came across this. Britannia pacific models are selling the 3 different ultra sonic test coaches for £85. that's right a coach for £85!!!. not sure about anyone else but I sure as hell don't have 85 quid to spend on one coach. any one modelled any of these in yellow? sure someone on this might have done one back in the early days of this forum.....

Ragtag Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Bearing in mind the work that goes into producing the models, I don't think £85 is unreasonable (although admittedly I wouldn't be prepared to pay that myself). A very rough calculation using average wage suggests you're paying for about 2 days work there, and that's not including the cost of the kit, paint, transfers etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's £85 for a made up coach. The kit is available for less. Ian Fisher has 999606 on the go here I've already done UTU2 (62462, later 999605) and 999602 before it's rebuild. There's a lot of work that amounts to more than £85 in those two BTW, there's four UTU's...... Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginhst539 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 hrrrrrm that's a bit gutting that. im by no where near close to the quality you and ian model. I have done 6262 genny, a radio survey which im not going to lie are no where near perfect but they do for me but suppose practice makes perfect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 8, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think it's starting to look the part. Precision Decals even include the fuel gauge! Handrails to paint white, cranks to paint yellow and buffers to swap are the main jobs. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
