mk1ben Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi all, thought id let you in on my 'unfished business' shelf. My adventures in 0 gauge began when Dapol released the ready to roll 8 plank wagons. I had some spare cash and figured it'd make a good ornament/scrap bin for my workbench. The quality - flawless. The size - impressive, being the first time I had owned anything of this scale. A quick search of eBay and a couple of bids later I won a Lima 33 for the hefty sum of £4.44...plus postage. Straight onto prmrp for their detailing kit. Despite their kit again being of the highest quality, I soon realised the lima 33 is a toy, and not much more, still, it may come in useful some day. So I bought some wagon kits, slaters, cooper craft, parkside dundas, built them and found it much less stressful than 4mm wagons, and much more fun...then the realization, I need something to move these about, best go blag the mrs... Christmas time and santa (reluctantly) brought me the Agenoria hudswell clarke 0-6-0T, based on a local locomotive NCB's s100. This loco worked 30 mins away and is preserved 15 mins away from me...happy days. Anyway, a picture speaks a thousand words, and ive said too much...heres a few photos of where im up to...

JeffP Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Class 33 detailing kit? Did you get the one with the new bogie sides etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1ben Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I did yes, the white metal castings did require a bit of flash removal however im yet to find a white metal moulding that doesnt. Regretably I removed the original bogie sides to fit however I think if I had trimmed down and stuck the new sides over the top it would have made the loco appear less 'narrow gauge' Came with; buffers, snowploughs, bogie sides vacuum pipes, side and top vents fans and probably a whole host of things ive forgot. Definately worthwhile if your adamant on detailing a lima loco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 A bit unfair, for very little money the Lima 33 polishes up quite well IMHO........... Phill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
