N15class Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I l Morning Buddy, Yes l have always fancied some Southern stock, need to find some decent Southern transfers next ?.. like HMRS. But have been known to use fox. Which really need a gloss finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I l like HMRS. But have been known to use fox. Which really need a gloss finish. Thanks Peter, l have tried fox but their website is so complicated (to me anyway) all l want is the lettering 'SOUTHERN' and the large numbers for tank locos ?

Marcus 37 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Locos coming on a treat George. Will look good in Southern green. Don't worry your not the only one who has trouble negotiating the Fox website. Great products though once you finally get them. Have you tried Railtec. I'm not sure if they do steam though. They've got a thread in the smaller suppliers section. Definitely recommended. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But probably your best bet as they do only a few on each sheet. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted January 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2017 It's a real shame about Nellie, you'ld made such a beautiful job of the card modelling, but the Brass one is coming on a treat, you've sorted it out in very quick time.

But probably your best bet as they do only a few on each sheet. Ah, did they get painted green or were they always black. I'm afraid I'm a diesel man so excuse my ignorance.

georgeT Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Morning Guys, The main reason for ditching the card models was you have still got to buy wheels (£60) and motor/gearbox (£45) and as l like to make and move things on with wheelin' and Dealin' you wont get a decent price with card as with brass... PS ls anybody interested in buying my Dapol 08 (with a Paul Chetter stay alive chip fitted) as l am sticking with Southern steam, so l have no use for a BR Blue 08, l have already sold my DCC controller... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I bought a LBSC Terrior on pretty well on impulse. I'm not even going to fit a DCC chip 'cos it ain't a permanent part of Carrog. Edited January 13, 2017 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I bought a LBSC Terrior on pretty well on impulse. I'm not even going to fit a DCC chip 'cos it ain't a permanent part of Carrog. You could always paint it in pseudo LBSC livery, stick it on a Weltrol and pretend it's going to Butlins! Maybe a couple of years out of time period though. Ray.

I would rather leave it in BR lined livery, stick it on a Currier and pretend it is going to take my mind of buying it in the first place....

Deano747 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Hi George Don't buy a sheet of lettering/numbers for your G6! I have an HMRS sheet of presfix (I can't remember the sheet number off hand) but I think it's the same style as Peter's G6 in post 1629. You are more than welcome to whatever you need as I won't be using any from it. I'm out of the country at the moment but I'm back next monday/tuesday. I'll PM you when I'm home. Regards, Deano.
