That looks excellent.

Bill.

Looking really good.

Bill.

That under-roof shot is very good, like the shafts of light from the roof.

Bill.

Don't know if this has been covered previously but what do you use to "grind" the crayons?

Thanks,

Bill.

That second shot is so realistic.

Bill.

That latest shot showing the inside of the shed looks very realistic and atmospheric, amazing modelling.

Snail Brand spanners were black with bare metal jaws.

Looking good.

I use LA.CO Flux Paste from Screwfix. 125g will last forever.

Here is the Sound test Video for the Class 60's.

 

TTS with the i-phone speaker sounds great.

I'll do a Video shortly for you all to judge, as I have a Hornby Full Price factory sound fitted 60, a standard TTS in a 60, and now this with the I Phone speaker so that should be very interesting.

A video comparison would be great.

I solder mine.

 

You do have to file the dropper of the hook back to its raw state as well as cleaning the staples as they often have a glue on them to keep them in the strip they come is.

 

Also use some additional flux to make the joint.

 

Dave.

What flux do you use Dave?

Thanks,

Bill.

Thanks for all the replies, I have had another go with superglue but this time I gave it 24 hours to cure and this seems to have been successful.

Many thanks,

Bill.

Thanks for that Michaelp, I did consider epoxy but forgot about the 5 minute version.

What method is recommended to attach the staple to the Bachmann coupling tail?

I have tried superglue but it doesn't seem to be very secure and tried soldering but that was a non starter.

Bill.

Great video, especially liked the camera tracking the movement.

Bill.

Looking good Bob.

Bill.

Thanks for the swift replies.

micklner: they are the actual items I had seen in the thread post

Johnster: I will have a look at the Modelu examples.

Thanks to both of you.

Bill.

Could I please enlist the help of the good people on here?

I am looking for some 4mm loco lamps that don't look "overscale", remember seeing a link to a supplier on a thread recently (may have been a layout thread) but for the life of me I am unable to recall which thread it was.

I have searched through the threads to no avail so I am looking for help in selecting said lamps.

Thanks in advance.

Bill.

My choice is #4, a nicely composed image.

Bill.

Hi tigerburnie, Looking good, now following this thread with interest.

Bill.

Those 37's look amazing.

Looking good, those cobbles look excellent.

Bill.

Great news Tigerburnie, looking forward to seeing the progress.

The Bachmann 32-227DS Jinty 7365 in LMS black has nice sounds; does anyone know which Next18 decoders they use and, if necessary, could a stay alive be fitted?

 

The R-T-R sound version is fitted with the Loksound Select, can't help on the stay-alive query though.
