    Colin. Got loads of 4Sub photos and measurements but never photographed 4377. When I first set out the unit numbers in my little log book, I gave 4377 its own sub-catagory so there must be something different about this unit. Could just be the seating/compartment layout or something more detailed but I don't now know why. Dave

    Hello Bill. May I suggest that you listen to the Sounds by 'Legomanbiffo' on youtube. If you like then order through DC Kits and use the speaker that comes with the chip. You can remove the fan if you want or alternatively, sink the speaker lower in its 'box' and then cut the sindes down. Best of luck Dave

    A small diversion. Was this meant for the Eastern Region or an indication that the SR was thinking of putting overhead up. Dave

    Colin. Mmmm. Personal use only, as I said. Anyway. Here are a couple of things that may be of help. The second I will re-post when you start the model. Dave

    Colin. Here's what I have of use. I basically missed photographing the BILs so here is the NRM one. My photography was not so good back then so I have fiddled about in Paintshop Pro to bring out some of the details. Note the differing rainstrips. Dave

    Star Lane!! Love it. Been down on the line there once and can remember the covered way. Can't wait to see all those EMU's running. Use to hear DEMUs on the Brighton line at Gatwick on a summer's Friday or Saturday night around midnight. Understood they were refuelling at Selhurst having come from Hastings. Dave

    Why not develop the free Semi detached house garage into a row of full, half & low relief. Some more quick sales to boost the coffers to finance more kit development. Dave

    May I make the following suggestion. Build two small branchline termini, curtain them off around the front so as to hide them from view. Then connect the two using an open fiddleyard with the backscene upto the same height as the curtain round the front of the stations . Pleanty of people ask to see how a fiddleyard works. This way they can enjoy the yard whilst you enjoy the termini.

    Here's a couple of quickies to expand the range, John. (You may remember) On TO21 Corner Shops. Using the doorway 'on the angle' change this to an entrance to a hallway and make the upper floors a series of flats. Leaving the shops a lockups. On TO20 Terraced Houses. Supply windows on the front elevation behind the bay windows so you have a choice of bay or no-bay windows. Use R006 'platform subway' for a London street 'Tube station entrance'. A classic LT Tube/BR station entrance. For the High Street scene or to fit the viaduct arches. A bus Garage and / or Bus station Dave Smith
