Jamiel Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just to second that, I would be very interested in the full etches or just the grills.I have the Genesis cab mouldings, but they do not have the detail of your etches at all (and are a bit skewed on the front windows).Lovely work, and a very interesting solution to the cab shape.Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea but its down the list a bit at the mo as I have other things on the go. cheers Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiel Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 No problem Shane. There is no rush, I still have lots of other projects on the go. As I have a pair of HST's and the Genesis cab mouldings I am happy to wait to get other parts.Thank you for sharing your photos, it is a lovely model.Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRail Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 With rapido now announcing they are not going to produce the prototype delayed indefinitely. The only way is to model one luckily I also have a pair of Genesis kits was going to base it on the new Hornby model given the better Underframe detail and improved running but wonder if a Lima power car would be a better starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Funnily enough I was working on the revised drawings for version 4 of the power car last night, to correct some of the flaws and design issues in version 3.

47164 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, it's a case really of taking a choice, as the old Hornby body shell is more correct in having the rear cab windows and they are cheap to buy, but the bogies just don't resemble anything, whereas the Lima bogies are spot on but somewhat harder to find these days. But I don't know if the current railroad hst has the correct combination which could be an option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of the new Hornby models in blue grey which has running benefits along with detailed bogies and also has the rear cab Windows originally brought a reduced price East Midlands trains variant but it has wrong roof details/fans and no rear dab window will resell on ebay at some stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRail Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Shane, What buffers are you going to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 For my most recent powercar a I used spare oval heads from Heljan sprues as I had a few. The original pair I built had A1 models steel heads from their sprung buffer set. Cheers Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fitted a set to one of my test builds for evaluation.
