blueeighties Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Good afternoon all. So, what's been going on this week then? In a word, lots!! Here's a small selection. All of the following 56s have been weathered. They are now awaiting Shawplan laserglaze, internal fittings, and windscreen wipers. A few tweaks here and there, and off to their owner. 56012 56012 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56054 56054 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56054a by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56105 56105 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56114 56114 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56134 56134 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 56135 56135 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Another Heljan 0 gauge class 26 underframe conversion tanks by rothburyuk, on Flickr Pretty much complete repainted and converted 0 gauge 26, awaiting final weathering, varnishing and internal fittings. 26038 by rothburyuk, on Flickr A pair of Heljan 0 gauge 26s having identities added, weathering next. 26039 by rothburyuk, on Flickr A big Heljan 0 gauge 40 that has just been stripped. It's surprising how much work goes into stripping the nooks and crannies out ready for a flawless primer coat. 40 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 40a by rothburyuk, on Flickr I am happy when my stripes go as planned! stripe by rothburyuk, on Flickr These were removed from a customers re worked model. Think they may need 'tidying up' before I re fit them...... plough by rothburyuk, on Flickr A pair of Bachmann 47s that have had paintwork and distressed weathering, nameplates added. 47301 by rothburyuk, on Flickr 47301a by rothburyuk, on Flickr 47301b by rothburyuk, on Flickr 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 This is the latest Legoman soundfile fitted to an 0 gauge class 37. Recorded from 37674 on the Wensleydale, it has a new wheelslip feature. Basically, open the accelerator full from a standing start, and listen to the music. Combined with the drivehold feature, this is really impressive.I have a demo stand at next weekends upcoming Railex North East show, and Pickering over the weekend of August 19th and 20th. I hope to have some demo sound locos there.

class27 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Lee How new is this feature? I assume this can be reblown to earlier versions Thinking about mine which will be lurking somewhere in your workshop cheers Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this can be reblown to earlier versions Thinking about mine which will be lurking somewhere in your workshop cheers Steve Morning Steve. It's brand new...and this file is for a refurbished 37 so not accurate for yours. I'd be happy to reblow the chip for you if you wanted, I'll also enquire about rollout on other engine variants.

Guest eddie reffin Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Did a Dutch one a year or so back- nowhere near your standard- but it is fair to say they are imposing bits of kit. Now, if they did a 27 in 0, I'd to splash out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
