Good to see the 25's coming along Rob, sorry I thought I'd put some centre lamp irons in with the cabs.

 

Got another delivery from Shapeways on Friday.  This was placed at Christmas when Shapeways had 20 off WSF, sadly A couple one wagon chassis was damaged and part of the 7mm BBA went missing but as usual shapeways customer service is sorting it.

 

One of the items was a class 37 bogie and a separate inner chassis.  Picture below shows it under the 37 fitted with an odd collection of wheels I had to hand.  It looks OK and will need separate cab steps adding, there is also a clearance issue between the wheels and the end frame but then version one normally requires some work.  Also printed was a bogie mount that fits to the bottom of the door frame and also helps to position the cab interior.

 

hi simon the side frame look great im just wondering im in the process of wanting to build a 5 inch gauge class 37 im just wondering if the side frames are available from shape ways to buy i love to detail they would bring to a project like that . . .regards ian

ill have a bit as well neil . . .lol

Just caught up Terry. Really looking good. The 31 27/26 looking good. Whats on the Xmas wish list this year. I'm just making a manger for the wife

ive got a few i may bring.

ill bring my cab 6 if you like also as  i should be in for 930 i got some early tickets so you could try it first..i bought mine from digitrains so they will be there. its great also for operating two at once as well.or i have a little surprise i like to operate with it. but you will see more on saturday ...

hi richard

i put a extra socket for my power cab on the front and bought the cab 6. . . really easy to use and a good size also 

see you saturday 

ive had this a few months but having started a new layout my locos got put away until there next exhibition. . . so i thought is give it a good warming up before the show

 its a biff 37 WH

I'll be there with Orchard Road. Please introduce yourself (I'll be wearing a blue tee shirt with Orchard Road TMD printed) and welcome to have ago operating, or just chatting!

ive got another guess for OR at warley 

Hi Terry latest pics look good, though class 37/4s didn't have split boxes. If you change the number the nose grilles will be wrong, sorry.

 

This may not bother you as its your layout but thought you might like to know.

 

Cheers Peter.

hi pcm terry knows as neil (class66) mentioned it up the post and im guessing neil sold him the split heads 

well ive just seen a post on face book on the r3 respray.  about the new transfers are ready for the new DRS  compass  

evening terry some cracking photos youve taken there. the yard light looks the dogs. keep up the great work 

cheers ian 

looking good there terry .new chape is complete but ive got all the stuff for a narrow gauge 7mm so i think thats my next project well that and weathering the 6 37's i just got the wifes goin through the roof   lol 

hi terry great to see your in full modelling mode and updates are coming fast   the tamper kit looks great . .i seen it on charlies stall at blackburn the other week looks good buddy 

Well Charles should be in church tomorrow. For his sins at the Blackburn and east lands show.

Its nice seeing the logs goin over whalley viaduct also

wow its been so long but looking good the idea of uncoupling with the staples is a good idea i manage to show my layout a few months ago and have booking now for next year and people just look bewildered when i can just pull up shunt back and forth and just drive off. i do like the all look of the layout.  ..keep up the great work

cheers ian

so will the 13.4 max output kill them or do LEDs have a bit of electrical 'leeway'

 

the led strips i use for the points indicators are 12v running off the DCC track voltage and i've not had problems with those

hi jim you might see that the leds for your points will flicker very fast as the power from track power it dirty power like the ohel led,s use drivers / transformers because it is a cleaner power. . a lap top transformer are good also as they have things in them to clean up the power . .  well i hope im right anyway goin of what ive been told   

cheers ian 

Great updates there Terry I see you have been a busy bee on the layout and seem to have found your way again. That is always good for your followers including myself. It will be good to see some trains running the full loop on Glebe rd

Cheers Ian
