    Daft question time….. I have 37026 & 37043 on the same order. Will they be sent separately as they arrive in the warehouse or will both locos be dispatched together when 043 arrives in a few weeks? Cheers. Bill.

    Just to add, I recently tried to get various spares from Oxford Rail. Despite being told on the Oxford Rail stand at Warley that spares are available, just email the customer service team. It seems no spares are kept. Cheers Bill.

    Hi. If it helps, @Tiddles47 & @Chorx18 I have couple of spare springs available. Drop is a PM with your address if you want them. This is why us modellers never throw anything away!! Cheers. Bill.

    Did I read it correctly that the Class 37 sound chips are due to arrive at the same time as 37026 & 37027 at the end of next week?
  6. billywhizz
    Same here. Hopefully not long now!!

    Looks like I am going to have some “explaining” to do. 37/0 on direct order from yourself along another from a retailer. 2 sound chips, then 043 to follow. Too many parcels arriving in a short space of time!!

    Very nice! Fingers crossed the factory don’t apply the paint too thickly and clog the mesh!

    Thanks for the info Wayne. I will continue layout planning using B7’s

    Thanks @Wayne Kinney will get one ordered as soon as they are available. Will a printed template be available for the crossover? Is there any progress with developing ‘C’ switches? Kind regards. Bill.

    Thanks great Wayne. Will be very helpful and save a trip to the local copy & print shop. Any word on when the B7 crossover might be available? Regards. Bill.

    They look stunning. Can’t wait for my order to arrive. When is 37043 likely to arrive? I thought it would be the same time as the other 37/0 split box locos. Sound chips now pre-ordered for the 2 I stupidly didn’t order with sound.

    Great photos particularly “The Duke” at speed!!

    Looks great Martin. Looking forward to seeing the layout at Showcase in June. Cheers. Bill.

    Is that a bit like DCC only being 2 wires Mick?

    Thanks for the prompt update @Accurascale Fran Looking forward to seeing the photos and hopefully confirmation all is OK and the production models have been shipped from China. Cheers. Bill.

    Great to hear the 1st 37’s are now in the UK!! Let’s hope customs don’t hold them up too much. @Accurascale Any word on when we will see the 37/0 production samples? I assume they have not been shipped yet? Cheers. Bill.

    I can confirm there was no “run round” at Queen St. Locos were released by either using a station pilot to shunt the stock or quite often the loco at the stops would be used as banker up the Cowlairs incline. Cheers. Bill.

    Looking great Will. What do you use to clean the glazing with after fitting with Glue n Glaze? Cheers. Bill.
  20. billywhizz
    The sound fitted original “Express” livery have also now arrived.

    Hi Cav. Really useful video, thanks. What is the reason for removing the bodyshell? I got the impression that re-wheeling could be done with the bodyshell in situ or did I miss something? Cheers. Bill.

    Hi @Accurascale Fran thanks for the update. They are so close now we can almost touch them!! Any chance of posting up photos of the 37/0 (car headlight version) production samples? Cheers. Bill.
  23. billywhizz
    Looks great Rob and captures it well. Thanks for sharing the tip. The new cutting is coming on great! Cheers. Bill.
  24. billywhizz
    Hope you have ordered the heavy duty version of the baseboards and traversed to cope with the weight of a couple of these locos!!

    I give them a gentle wash using a cheap kitchen cream cleaner and (an old) toothbrush. A coat of grey primer (Tamiya fine aerosol is my preferred choice) then a top coat of Matt black. Finished off by painting the pipe end couplings either red, white or yellow.
