    i keep to one era that way you can keep the cost down. Plus i like some of the old Lima diesels. I try to bye models that don't work and replace the motors with a CD drive,

    What where we told by Doris NO more lockdowns as we have got to live with it. They just want to controll us but they can do what they like .One rule for them and one for us .

    I've fitted a few loco's with Ultrascale wheels in the past. None have grooves for tyres.

    It's OK if the ad's where about model railway items. Or real train ticket offers But they are not just c##p that nobody is interested in

    I got one of the Reliant regal van's. At the time i did try to bye one from M&S but they where sold out. Think they where around £4.00. A few years later went to Wilkos there they where £1.00 each.

    Those class 33's do look nice Phil.

    I've had a Lima chassis brake where the motor fit's. The thin part across the front where it fits to the body.

    Welcome to the RM . Have you looked at Railmatch paints. https://howesmodels.co.uk/product-category/model-railway/railmatch-paint/railmatch-acrylic-paint/page/6/

    Modelmaster did do the white line to use on Blue/grey coaches . With the curved corners. I still have a spare set . They may still stock them.

    I can remember when we got them for £89.00 brand new from hattons. Those where the day's not like now £400 plus for a 4 car unit.

    Had the same problem with a Bachmann 08. In the end i took a little off the platform edge. As it just rubbed on the platform ramp.

    The Ultrascale wheels are isolated on both wheels. Plastic inserts . Got 4 sets 2 years ago . So you will need to add new pick up's and rewire to the motor.
  16. crompton 33
    Yes you need a back to back. Thats the easy part you will need to fit new pick up's. As you carn't use the old Lima one's. The Ultrascale wheels don't allow you

    A chap in my road has a ww2 jeep . He is out in it most days of the week. Still on 6 volts told him to convert it to 12 volts for better starting. He wants to leave it as built.

    At my local model club in the past we have used Sandtex Masonery paint. We used there test pots as you don't need a lot.

    I spoke to Charlie when i orderd the kit. He told me to use Plastic pipe weld . I did try slaters Mekpac on the bogies they fell apart.
  22. crompton 33
    EMA Plastic weld will not work on DC kits. The best glue i found to use was evo stick plastic Pipe weld.
