    I read somewhere they are for test coaches to replace 37s. I could be wrong however!

    I was pleased to see The Sidings in person at Model Rail Scotland this weekend, so much detail crammed into such a small layout! Was great to see the 68 on the move too! James

    Which sound does this one use? Cheers, James

    Apologies if this has been raised or mentioned before folks. I have seen this newer style of OHLE masts appearing in various places, the example I have here is between Glasgow and Edinburgh (apologies for the Street view screenshot). Is this replacing older OHLE or is it for newer projects? Cheers, James

    Finally seen 975091 in the flesh tonight, got a good look at it and my model will be getting updated accordingly!

    Hi folks, Currently in the middle of an Airfix BSO to DBSO conversion and I am attempting to model DRS's 9705. Does anyone know where I can source the DRS 'Oxford Blue' in a rattle can? I use Plastikote or Halfords paint for my other models however no one seems to offer an option that's not too expensive for a tin of spray paint. Any advice would be great! Cheers, James

    Looks great so far! I'm hoping to have a crack at my own DBSO conversion soon, just need to get the kit for it from PH Designs! How difficult was the conversion to do? Cheers, James

    Love the look of this layout! Who's overhead wires have you used? They really look the part! James

    Love this layout and seeing the progress is great! I see right at the bgining you mention cutting cork for the track underlay. What is the purpose of the underlay of the track? Looking to do something similar on my new layout. Cheers, James
  12. MrWhippyO
    Thanks for that advice! When you say you sprayed then soaked in PVA, does that affect the rails at all? What is the purpose of spraying it all then soaking with the PVA mix? Cheers, James

    I have to say, I love the look of this layout so far! I will certainly be using your technique to ballast. Did you use any special equipment to ballast or just position it hen watered down PVA glue? Look forward to seeing your progress!

    What's happened with Mentor? I can see another model coming, I have pretty much finished my model of how it...well...was. James

    Looking good Mick, hoping to start my RTOV soon! 1256 is proving more difficult than I thought.... What do you use for stripping the paint off your models? James

    Is that new SGT coach to replace 975081 that was in there, was it "Hermes" at one stage? James
  19. MrWhippyO
    It's reassuring to see the "years of practice" I have to say!
  20. MrWhippyO
    Ah well, I may as well finish my model of 975091 as it's nearing completion, I could always do another if it has changed a lot James
  21. MrWhippyO
    They're changing mentor? I am just adding the details to mine, how it was last time I saw it. Any idea happening to it? James
  22. MrWhippyO
    Saw the layout today, at Model Rail Scotland, really looks fantastic in the flesh, the details are fantastic! James
  23. MrWhippyO
    The weather here has been really nice the past few days, cold though, but sunny! Let's hope this lasts through to monday! James
  24. MrWhippyO
