blueeighties Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah though it sounds like they mucked up. Will ring them in the morning. Couldnt ring them today as they were shut from thurs until tomoz. Thanks for the heads up. I thought it looked wrong as ive had sound kits from them before that fitted straight away. Frustrating as i want to hear it. Once thats fitted itl be sent to yourself for repainting! Cheers. I am surprised to hear that, Sue at SWD is normally spot on and very attentive. Bear in mind SWD have just done a full Warley weekend, it's a crazy time and easy to have the odd oversight here and there. That's why you won't have been able to get in touch. Don't worry, I know it's frustrating when you want your new sounds, but it will get sorted! Best, Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 The airbrush see's rather a lot of use these days. It gets cleaned every session, but an ever more sticky trigger warranted further investigation. Stripping everything down to component parts, it's true what they say, a brush can always be cleaner! airbrush by rothburyuk, on Flickr Top tip. Do not lose concentration when reassembling, start talking to the Mrs about what's for tea and drop this on the floor. How I found it is a miracle I'm still trying to work out. £9 for a replacement seal 2mm in diameter!! bush by rothburyuk, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandrover Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I bought it from them at Warley! Along with one for a 47, havnt tried that one as 47 buried in a box somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) The Strathclyde 101 is now finished, want one!! 101a by rothburyuk, on Flickr 101 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Destination board change and renumbering for this strangely coloured jobbie. 101b by rothburyuk, on Flickr Still on a Scottish theme. 002 by rothburyuk, on Flickr This is an interesting one. A customer asked me to create a version of 47831, 'Bolton Wanderer'. Normal renumber andrename, until I looked at the photos of no 2 end.It had a very strange oversized markr light panel. This is my sizing mock up made from plasticard. 019 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Edited November 26, 2014 by blueeighties 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26power Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Wondered why the work, then realised it must be an O gauge one! The bogie spring mod looks as necessary in either gauge. Cheers, 26power After an awful lot of filling, sanding, filling sanding, filling (you get the picture), the big Heljan 26 finally has it's tablet recesses filled, and new doors . As you can see the whole area has now been primed, I'm going to let it dry out completely for a week as shrinkage of the filler and cracking has been a real issue. Fingers crossed everything stays put! 005 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 002 by rothburyuk, on Flickrhttps://flic.kr/p/q9Atgk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, you have my apologies....I have just clicked on what you mean and you are absolutely right, thanks for the tip. Don't fully understand when I swap it round I lose air pressure though. Must need a new sealing washer somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 More O gauge work, the bench will need strengthening soon! At long last, I managed to make cab aerials for the 47. Weathering next. 022 by rothburyuk, on Flickr The 26 now has the cab fronts drilled ready for the twin headlights, and the yellow has been applied. Blue next. 014 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 018 by rothburyuk, on Flickr This was a nice one to get in, a rake of HEA hoppers. Built in brass, they came to me pre primed, but it wasn't the right kind of primer. The paint just pulls straight off again. Everything is getting re primed with Phoenix etching primer and re done. Lovely wagons I have to say. 002 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 003a by rothburyuk, on Flickr Back to 4mm, more 40's! I normally renumber and repaint these, but this pair just required nameplates and weathering. Nice and straightforward. 026 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 027 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Strangely coloured one.... 035 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 034 by rothburyuk, on Flickr And finally something a bit more modern, Network Rail DVT. I have scratchbuilt a camera out of plasticard for the nose end, and repainted the cab front light units as oer the prototype. Could also do with the grille adding to one of the bodyside doors, and I still have to add the under windscreen 'spoiler'. Not my cup of tea,but looks pretty snazzy. 041 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 045 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 6, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Certainly reproduces the sound better and more responsive.

Morning Rich. This is just me thrashing it up to 100% and then backing off a bit, repeating, easy to do on the rolling road! I haven't had time to investigate the full feature count of the chip as yet to see if there is any notching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
