Hmm that chassis fit looks odd. Can we have a picture of it on rails with a 2D one end and a 2F the other to see how they match?
-
FK frames are on, they look good. BFK is being smoothed ready for frames. Done the fan(s) (need embarrased icon) Hope to be at Warley and I will be annoying a certain person there with my 2ABC bodies until I get the window frames! -
That is ideal thanks
-
Just need some decent BFK side pictures to remount it properly
-
Actually just found out 30 years on the brakes have one small fan! Never knew that Found some pictures
-
The aircon kit is 2F, the larger single fan
-
I will need to check my book but as far as I know the single fans were 2F only and that was the major visual difference.
-
Open up all three and tab between They look odd! Andteh BSO is a 2F not a 2E AFAIK
-
I iwll have to look at their stuff as I have a few FK to do from opens
-
I sliced the loo out of one side and put in on the other. All need a respray though! Got 4 of them!
-
I have been looking in my Michael Harris book. Go three has issues just like goes one and two May stick to detailed Airfix
-
One of the BSOs was a 2F Something seems a bit odd about some of them
-
The FK is to be an Eastern region one and is a model of a coach regularly in the same rake as E1883. The BFK will be Western region. The other brake section is now setting and should be fitted in the next day or so. I hope to start fitting the etched frames to the FK very soon. Unfortunately unless we have a warm Christmas everything will be primer only until the spring.
-
The FK The BSO section being sawn The first BFK side
-
Right the FK is ready for the window frames and the BFK is being assembled. photos to follow
-
This was off the top of my head, and blue grey period. But I do remember 2B were mainly WR and 2C mainly MR
-
At least they are later batch so I will get some. My converted Airfix are early batch
-
Actually the 2Es are not much more expensive than Laserglaze and etched frames, should I chuck my 4 Airfix 2E TSOs on Ebay?
-
Depends on the price difference, ignore renumbering, but there are enough detail differences that they would need to convert. 2D Mainly ER 2E Mainly MR and WR 2F Mainly MR Will they look OK together? All comes down to the windows, if they are as good as etched frames and Laserglaze they will sell like hot cakes We will wnat actual correct models but for some people air con coach is enough
-
Good prices, cheaper than buying an Airfix to convert and detailing them
-
Valve gear? Holes in the cylinder wall and supercharger scavenging should be good enough for ECML power
-
Mainline RBR is the best fit by the look of it
-
Well I made a simple jig up. A few flat pieces of plastic card and the drill was the correct height for the various holes. To be FK done and the two donors Next job will besawing the BSO in half and removing part of the FO donor sides
-
Here is a Lima one http://www.p4newstreet.com/the-other-4mm-scale-mk2-aircons.html This is a good site for ideas
-
Well I found my old low voltage mini drill - it has a smaller chuck than my Wizard End holes and roof holes nicely drilled. Will now make a stand for the coach body to drill grab handle holes in correct height. Also may get the enthusiam back for the last 5 Lima DMU vehicles I need to do, got bored after 10. Will be drill on table and vehicle body raised to match. Found my last Ebay grab was 3 BSO and 4 FO, will give me a FK, 2 BFK, a 2E TSO and a spare FO and BSO
