trisonic Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The more, the merrier! You'll probably need some form of Sanding Tower too... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Is that a proto2000 GP30 on the left? Curses, I need one of those to pair with my GP38, and they're like rocking horse poop.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
switcher 1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Don't know about the quality of proto2000 GP30, but I just recently got 2x Bachmann Spectrum GP30, off a well known site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robatron86 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Sanding Tower...I hadn't thought of that. Cheers Pete. Is there anything else I'd need? Gerbil: It's the DCC On Board Bachmann GP30. It's paired with the DCC On Board Bachmann GP40, My Bachmann GP38-2 and my Athearn GP38-2 pair together. I do have a Bachmann Spectrum GP30 on the way.

Robatron86 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Morning all, Latest bit of kit to arrive: Athearn RTR RTC 20,900 gallon tank. Was very pleased to find this on Ebay. I found this cheap car at a car boot yesterday, no makers stamp on the bottom, but it looked mid 70's to me. A Chevrolet Apache. Cost me 30p. I've repainted it, weathered and added a cb aerial. Need to do something with the wheels. That's all for now. I have recently ordered some bits to get me going on this build. Thanks for looking.

Robatron86 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi all,Well, i said it wouldn't bother me, but my OCD won the battle. GP40 3501 is now the correct 2964. Sorry Jack...i've let you down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 No, you haven't - I have a rather nice GP38-2 from Glasgow that had a very good weathering job done by a certain Mr Gwinnett before it came home- it looks a lot different to the "out of the box" version - in fact it appears in the Nort Haston photos - 3502 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
