bescotbeast Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 First day of Marks visit and his APT has been on test, admittedly it can only use the Down line owing to gauging restrictions and that was only after I got my mini drill out and trimmed a backscene.

bescotbeast Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Found some modelling time and after reading a thread regarding adding a bass reflex speaker to underside of a 37, I had some time on Sunday to tackle this for myself. 37905 Bass reflex by Simon Barnes, on Flickr I'm really pleased that I've tried this and I'll be slowly this out across the rest of my 37 fleet. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can thank you for the Hornby 08, after seeing the one you purchased it made me think of how much I missed having a Hornby version with all it's extra detail so after finding a reasonably priced version I snapped it up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty Thanks for the compliments Jinty I'll have to take my camera back up with me and create another day at Pendeford, I used to have a green Hornby 08 and after seeing the 08 on New Whit, I realised just how much I missed having one.
