Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I had one ride on the 210, from Oxford to Paddington with a lovely young woman who was an Antiquarian and a Vicar's daughter. She was doing some research at the Imperial War Museum. It was a memorable day out, alright. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found as a sole trader if I thought I had a problem or I didn't understand something getting in contact with them before they saw it was a problem it was resolved very quickly and usually in my favor. When I first left school I worked for the Eastern Electricity Board for a few boring years before moving on to better things. One of the jobs had had authority to do was to correct names and addresses or change them when people moved. I can’t tell you the fun I had with that on the day before I left ! One of my colleagues was particularly tight fisted so I changed his house name to “The Wallet “ and subsequently heard it remained like that for several years. It just strike me that if there was a similarly mischievous 20year old at the Inland Revenue , about to leave the next day you might find your letters addressed the Mr D. C. C.

But th photos I've seen show it as being bigger and extending to outside the lights on th early blue repaints. Easily fixed with a quick spray, but we're there any craven DMU with a smaller yellow end? Asking because I think it looks better with a smaller yellow end.

Hi Map No. But I have been sorting out what was the dogs bedroom into a workshop. 3D printer and the master work station, with the lovely Alicia singing to me. The drawing reproduction machine and a Portrait cutter. The main work table. The machine shop. Part two of the machine shop. The hand painting section of the paint shop. Gotta get the brushes out tool draws. The spray booth. New compressor. The dogs have not been kicked out their beds are under the machine and paint shops.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted June 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2021 At least your paint box is as tidy as mine; however yours is in one place by the looks of it. Workshop....looking good. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just part way through painting my 127 DPU, but it was a pity BR didn`t try this instead of the white with blue stripe for the refurbished DMUs. I think it looks quite good. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looks quite good. Quite good ? I think it looks really good. Your paint job that is. Love to see the finished article in due course. It’s inspired me to get on with my Lima DMU’s that have been waiting for years for some experimental colours. As for the BR scheme of white with a blue stripe, let’s face it, they couldn’t have done much worse, although some of the Regional Railways and Network South East seem to have managed it ( just my biased opinion of course ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 This is a experiment to see if I can do the parcel colour with the red stripe using paints, results so far have been poor. If it don`t work, will be using transferes. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Hi Eric It is a 20-25 liters per minute output. The cylinder has a power rating of 1/5 HP. Automatic start at 3bar and stop at 4 bar. Any of that makes any sense? To me it looked good in the advert and came with two air brushes. It is a Switzer AS186. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted June 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2021 Sounds good. We already have a compressor and I was thinking of trying it with an airbrush. It has a 5 litre tank and will do higher pressures up to about 7 bar but I've also used it for doing tyres at 2 bar and can adjust the output pressure lower than that. Got me thinking about a bit of experimentation. Eric 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
