    Trying to get started on my platforms while i wait for my baseboards. used 18mm MDF cut into 100mm wide strips. this is the right thickness to use scalemodelscenery platform paving cut in half and their coping. then using peco platform edging with the backs shaved down glue to the edge. trouble is these SMS platform coping pieces are way too delicate, and a bit annoying. Its so easy to ruin them

    having worked on 57's for a number of years id say that Legomanbiffo's one is the closest ive heard. I have one with the standard Bachmann sound chip, I have no idea how they got it so wrong lol. it sounds nothing like one!

    I nabbed a returned one for 250 off the Heljan stand at warley, it apprently ran rough. Chucked it on the test track there and it was alright tbh. im really happy with it, it overshadows my pannier and 08 nicely and weighs a tonne! Just need to sort a decoder now.

    Used grey primer for this and then painted it with acrylics over top. Had no issues ive given up with enamels, too messy!

    Just came accross this while searching for something else, what a fantastic piece of modelling.

    Fimgers crossed once this comes out they can hurry along the 168 by using the chassis. wont hold my breath mind!

    Blimey, must have been on a different stall. Thats an utter bargain!! You lucky sod!

    Saw that 20, ive got one myself, you are pretty lucky to have found that. He had it up for £199 if i remember right? Usual sorta money for that one

    Great day at warley, i dont know why but i felt it wasnt quite as good as last year thought, but everyones taste in layouts/trade stalls is different! highlight for me was running straight to the Heljan stand and picking up this beauty for a ridiculous £250. good to meet a couple people from on here too.

    Jim! What time are you going? Il be there! dont spose youve already posted that 165 chip? Would save you the hassle!
  18. Erixtar1992

    This is mega jim. Loving the 168/0. Jelous of this fleet!

    Plastic welded a 4 pin connector to a nem coupling so i can send power to the 165’s dummy car without using 2 chips. should do the job

    A kind chap on facebook has put my track plans into anyrail for me, i mentioned having the depot on the left and it sure does look better i think. Really pleased with this. also, just finalised the baseboard order, all £550 worth (ouch), so should be able to make a start shortly!!
  22. Erixtar1992
    Right you are
  23. Erixtar1992
    ahh apologies guys! I completely missed that bit! Haha!
  24. Erixtar1992
    Shame Heljan dont sell their returned stock at warley like Bachmann and Dapol, would be good!
  25. Erixtar1992
    Got a 38 stock with that setup mate, unfortunately they dont like 2nd radius curves, the design of them doesnt really work as the worm drive is static rather than have it turn with the bogie and use a driveshaft to take up the movement
