Brian Looks stunning ...... Can't wait to see it painted and pulling the 8+ coach stock.. Jim

Love the observation saloons ..... great colour schemes Jim

Paul I have also been suffering with the man flu for a week now ...... not that I have been complaining.... honest .... SWMBO will definitely verify !!!!! (Well hopefully) ELJ has been started that's the main objective and now whilst resting you can think of best planning and how you want the outcome to look..... Get well soon and a Merry Christmas to you and the family... Jim

John If you click on the 7mm link that you were sent and scroll down you will see several detailing kits for the Class 37 ranging from £18 - 38. The £38 kit has the steps, buffer beams. grills etc http://www.phd-design-etchings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=25_35_67 Jim

Blimey ..... Can those builders work quicker 13th December 2017 I was hoping to see a layout up and running by this evening Looks great though Jim

John I have an earlier Heljan Class 37 and the buffers can be removed easily by removing four brass shanks that are located behind the buffers. I removed the bogie side frames to make access easier to get to the buffers. As for the removal of the headcode lens I am unable to assist but I would assume that these can be removed easily once the body has been removed... Brian Daniels has done a superb conversion on a Heljan Class 37 with the use of DJH detailing parts, here's the link and if you need any assistance he is the man to ask..... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/1458-brians-7mm-diesel-workbench-jltrt-class-47/page-117 Good luck with your project Jim

This project is going to look amazing..... Simply stunning Jim

I am sorry to hear that you have taken a turn for the worse and I just hope you get well soon... I and other followers will look in from time to time even if it just to see how you are... Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery. Regards Jim

I know the feeling...... I bet the owner is very proud of the work / time / effort that you put into it..... seriously envious ... Jim

Paul First class weathering especially the class 13 ..... superb Jim

Ray After writing the previous post I have found this on the web and you can have shunts on the right hand side....All the shunts in this picture show the shunt signals are on the opposite side (right hand)...... Space permitting I suppose as well as sighting. Jim

Ray In my honest opinion the signal is mainly on the left, especially a shunt as this is a speed restrictive movement however I am aware some running signals are shown on an opposite road for sighting purposes. I can't recall / seen a shunt on the opposite side although I may be proven wrong..... Jim

Glad to hear this..... At the end of the day we all have one love ...... Railways

Brian Two words............ Absolutely Stunning....... Regards Jim

Gary I hope your health problem was not too serious.... Get well soon .... Jim

Thanks Martyn for the video feedback The lever frame is a Cobalt product. These can be purchased individually or in sets of 6 or 12 from Hattons or direct from DCC Concepts. The levers themselves are very sturdy when positioned in a frame and they also come unpainted. Here are a couple of links for you https://www.dccconcepts.com/product-category/the-cobalt-collection/. or http://www.hattons.co.uk/60419/DCC_Concepts_DCP_CBS6_Cobalt_S_Lever_with_all_accessories_unpainted_x_6/StockDetail.aspx Jim

Afternoon from a very wet Milton Keynes... Well the weather has been a bit hit and miss of late but there is always something to be getting on with and I thought about rebuilding the area around the terrace houses ...... In came the demolition team and knocked all the houses down... This was the terrace prior to demolition and after. Now my woman of ill repute has to find new lodgings !!!!! I wanted to do something that had a bit more interest so I embarked on building a sloping terrace but just showing the rear of the houses.... something different...... Out with the foamex and scalpel and start building. Well nearly 2 weeks have elapsed and here we are, slowly and surely all the residents will be returning in the near future. Now I will have to build a sloping wall between the depot and the alleyway to the back of the houses... that will come in the next few weeks unless the sunshine is out. Jim

Paul Thank you for the compliment on Ayr Road and I am glad it helped you make a decision ..... I went from N to O gauge (big jump at the time.... and I have never looked back... I do like the size and models that are on offer nowadays as well as all the people on this site that are giving up there time to offer assistance in where you want to be with your project......questions, questions , questions.... I love the weathering on the 37 and I'm like other modellers,,,,,, always looking at 'How was that done' .... Thanks for being so informative. Jim
