I've given up on the Dapol bubble unit and ordered an easybuild one instead.

And very good it looks.

Slightly fluffy picture of my Heljan class 03 with a few scratch built parts.

All sorted now,Thankyou to those that contacted me.

Would anyone happen to have a Heljan class 40 they would like to sell?

 Absolutely any livery  and condition considered.

Cheers Dale.

Tweaked my Heljan peak to become 46039.

Received mine from hattons no issues at all

Are the Dapol vans out yet?

Showing as being in stock on Hattons website, just ordered a cap version.

Looking for a Heljan class 40 in green preferably not weathered or modified.

Will also consider just a body have a blue one for swaps or just cash if you prefer

Can anybody tell me how to access the electrical wheel pick up wipers so I can give them a clean?

No idea sorry,will try and ask for you. Could actually be from railtec as that's what Andy used on the class 40 he built for me.

Although it is my Dapol shunter both the work and photo are Andy Watts handiwork

Excellent model with a little work.

Is that the factory weathered version?

I was just thinking - DJH are bringing out a 37/4 conversion kit (for the Heljan 37) which should include? pretty much the correct type of marker lights in the plated headcode box covers that could be incorporated into the Peak. Can't remember how much the conversion kit was going to cost but this might be a way forward.....???

I believe its £80 for the 37 conversion kit.

Have a look at Brian Daniels' one in kitbuilding and scratchbuilding (Brian's 7mm diesel workbench)...

DJH won't supply the marker lights on there own unless you have the full kit already and have the spares list that is included. Been looking at alternatives but nothing looking right so far.

As has mine.  Happy days

mines also on its way

Yodel ?

Not this time, DPD interlink were the offenders.  I had requested it be delivered to my local Halfords so I could collect after work but they thought they would save me the trip.

My class 25 came today and have to say its more robust than my Heljan class 40 given that the parcel delivery driver just threw it over my 6ft high gates on to a flagged yard and it survived intact.  

I was told at warley there already here but there's some issues with quality.
