    I just slid a scalpel blade under the clip that holds the terminal in it then just pulls out.

    Mine arrived today, Royal Mail must have been on turbo mode. Stunning model and a brilliant runner straight out of the box, only problem like Martins it went the wrong way. Easy fix though just had to the reverse the wires in the plug on the top of the PCB. Update on this, it wasn't quite so easy as that, the lights where then wrong for the direction of travel I had the swap the pins over in the plugs from the pickups instead.

    If it is pivoted close to the inner drivers then there is likey to be about the same overhang as a bogie coach

    Blimey this thread has rocketed only been out for the day and now four pages. Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about the bunker. I just wondered as they didn't list a BR version with a plain bunker, unless I missed it.

    Well done Heljan for having the balls to do it. Put my order in for a British Rail version, well it might have been tried out on the Fawley oil tanks, that's my excuse. Did rather fancy a plain bunkered version. No being a LMS man my information library is not that comprehensive. Did the early bunkers get converted to rotary bunkers before BR days?

    In theory yes but as it is usually more expensive than DOT 4 I've never used it.
  8. bigherb
    DOT 5 is silicone based. DOT 5.1 is a thinner version of DOT 4 for use in some ABS systems.

    I agree £100 is a good price. But £400 to get two locos I want and two I don't ain't gonna happen.

    Here's one of the AC railbus after a year in sevice in the early green which according to Haresnape where also in Malachite green. http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete2.php?id=31201

    I don't think the blue livery has helped but it cetainly captures the look. The handrails look a bit heavy. Harsnapes fleet survay has a nice side profile of the cab using the wheel dimensions for scaling the pillar between the front and cabside windows looks bob on measured to the edge of the yellow front, still undecided about the small grills most photos show no verticle stiffner but one picture shows bent grills either side of what would be a stiffner but certainly nothing as prominent as the Heljans ones.

    According to Brain Haresnape fleet survey, the early Railcars where delivered in Malachite green livery.

    I prefer the HD couplings especially the metal ones. I run my HD wagons in rakes and use converter wagons made from Wrenn wagons which can easily be fitted with HD couplings.

    Dapol Class 22

    bigherb replied to DLPG's topic in Dapol

    From what I can remember from my days paint spraying, chromatic just means a bright colour, nothing to do with metallic, The bright yellows, oranges, blues that started to appear on cars the 70s where described by one manufacturer as chromatic.
