  1. That's very nice,will you be making this available as a kit to buy? Rob
  2. The 143 looks superb,just as I remember seeing them on the Esk Valley line to Whitby. Rob
  3. Not cement Bob but the result of many trips through the carriage washer at Hull Botanic Gardens depot. Rob
  4. This week at the Yorkshire Wolds Railway we had our 20t brake can delivered,all straight forward enough but what's confusing is is the unusual livery,the livery or what's left of it is mostly red with blue and white/grey stripes and Carlisle Currock depot stickers,does anyone know what the livery is and what traffic it was used on. Rob
  5. All together now......... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g9nZCIoa8Kw Rob
  6. Paul,thank you for your detailed reply and it wasn't just my wonky eyes seeing things!,it all adds to the interesting history of these locos. Rob
  7. Does anyone know who produces the correct font Transfers for the green version,comparing the various packs available from Fox and Railtec with pics of D2578 I'm a bit unsure which is correct. Rob
  8. Hi MichaelThanks for your reply,I'm in no rush for a 104 kit but I just fancy doing the Mexican Bean unit for our clubs Scottish based layout,a 110 would be nice as well!. Rob
  9. Hi Michael With you doing the underframe for a class 104 is there a possibility of doing a full kit of one? Rob
  10. Its not just diesel locomotives, look what's happened to all those HAA hoppers. Rob
  11. Thanks Brian,question is did you ever drive the real 47479? Rob
  12. Well what a nice kit to build,made a few changes and additions but pretty much done with what's in the box. To complete,wheels and gearbox from Roxey Mouldings,Mashima 1833 motor,M+M Models belt drive,transfers Fox and Railtec,custom nameplates from Narrow Planet,arrows Shawplan,paint Halfords Humbrol and Rail match,speaker and sound chip Legoman and finally a Modelu driver of Didcots finest. Rob
  13. That's still on my wish list to see as well Steve,that and any of the convoys of them making their way up to Hull. Rob
  14. I think this is the class 101 in j4396 but different location http://www.railcar.co.uk/images/4474 Rob
  15. Ah!,so it was you we were talking to,great to meet you James,hopefully see you at Scalefour North in April.We all had a great time this weekend,a massive thank you to all involved for a very enjoyable show,with the excellent line up of layouts and traders there it felt like a proper modellers show with all interests catered for. Rob
  16. Have a look here and on the Fife region area. http://brucegalloway.zenfolio.com/p628663453 Rob
  17. Brilliant weathering Mr Worm,just goes to perfectly show you can't beat observation of the prototype to achieve realistic results. Rob
  18. Thank you Paul,in which case it'll get numbered as your star machine. Rob
  19. Also agree with you guys,I've got a green one with wasp stripes and it really is a good model,not done anything with it yet but I'll also be fitting a Mr Soundguy chip to it and numbering it as either D2578 or one of the ones based at Goole. There was a test moulding of the 03 at Warley and its looking very promising to be another winner. Rob
  20. Thank you,quite easy,painted the seat a pale grey then made a mask from some fine brass mesh folded over the seat,a quick blast of black pointing straight at the base then seat back and your done. Can't take credit for it as I saw it done in an MRJ article years ago,hope that helps you out. Rob
  21. Thank you Brian,yes I can see me doing another at some point,its just deciding which one to do!. Rob
  22. Hi Brian Great to have a chat with you at Warley last weekend,as said the build of your JLTRT 47 has been a good help for me doing mine,a pic of progress so far and your good self in the hot seat,sorry about the feet!. Rob
