You've prompted me to use some parts to achieve the same finish which wouldn't of appeared to me without looking at this article.

I have done the wire myself and need to find some chain and white pipe.

It looks really good. Well done. How thick is the white 08 detailing?

Thanks,

Lukasz

Lukasz that's great - you've made my day! The 08 pipework on the left hand side is about 0.8mm.

I think that a cotton bud with the end chopped off (the cotton) melted with a hairdryer could be moulded into something similar perhaps?

I may give it a go and tell you how I find it.

Lukasz

I think that would be too thick... if you can't get your hands on a Class 08 detailing set from Hornby then I'd probably try stripping down some old USB cables and see if any of the wire in that would be suitable?

Yes I had a look and its somewhere near the 1.5mm mark.

I'm gonna have a look now.

I can't seem to find the wire to the fuel tank on any prototype shots. May I ask what it's purpose is?

Lukasz

On 37411 there is a fuel tank level sensor I think... I made it out of 5A fuse wire. You can see it here:

If you look in my prototype album you'll find shots of both sides of a typical 37/0 fuel tank. 37075 on the CVR and 37275 on the GCR.

Thanks for the info. It seems to be either on the one side or perhaps removed as I couldn't seem to find it anywhere else on photos of 37411.

Lukasz

Just the one side

37411 doesn't have the usual speedo either

I'm gonna do 37411 as the 'Scottish Railway Preservation Society'.

Will be nice to have another ews tractor.

I've already ordered one so should be carrying out the same mods.

Lukasz

I used USB cable in the end. No need for repainting or drilling hole just used a screwdriver to make a bit of a hole to hold the superglue then fitted the black USB wire into that. I fettled the socket around a bit aswell. It needed a lick of paint and a bit of excess cut off but as you've already proved it was worth it.

Pleased it's worked for you

The Green 37411 is looking fantastic.

Really lovely. The detailing is subtlew but noticeable and well worth it. It looks great.

Lukasz

Thanks Lukasz!

and my other lovely 37s...

that now need updating

I think mycomment was meant for the paxton road blog but never mind its still apllicable here.

I've been working on 37057 today.

Shes looking good.
