class25 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hello, I recently posted regarding elongating the tank on these kits and want to thanks all those folk who took time to reply. I have now started 2 vehicles and am dead chuffed! However, my supply of old Airfix tank wagon kits has lead me to look at the ESSO rebuilds for bitchumin traffic and how easy it would be to convert a few. I remember a train with double headed 25's clanking over Uphill Junction during lunchtimes at sixth form (hurrahh!!). I completed a few Hornby TTA conversions years ago and would like a bit of varietyto add to the train form my very small layout! Best Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
