Blog- LMS/S&D Suburban two coach set - COLE project 2. LMS/S&D Two coach suburban set

[RSS Fetcher]

The two coach set is based around the excellent comet coach kits , but changing their 9` bogie kits for the MJT compensated frames and white metal sides which, in my view, are much better representations of the type. I also used MJT sprung LMS buffers and vac pipes from Wizard Models.<br /><br /><br /> suburban<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Having upgraded all my loco`s for this project to DCC sound I decided to revert back to using 3 link couplings, but this time using magnetic bottom links. I used what remaining stock of PC Couplings I had left from the 1970`s , with additional frets from the excellent Wizardmodels own range.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I decided to use Bill Bedfords coach connections for this local set as they will work forever together!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hope my eyesight is good enough to use this uncoupling gadget I bought about 1980..........<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The real two coach set....<br /><br /><br /><br /><div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'>
