Good read, I know what you mean about the model torque motor , I have one in a phrtotype hst , and it moves like a scolded cat! So the h&m setting is on half wave just to make things a bit more controllable .

I was surprised how noisy the 73 sounded on the clip, I have a couple of very run in Lima examples and not only are they very quiet they are amazingly smooth for a Lima pancake .

Hi,

That looks superb as a starting base,I would love to get some cab-end's to do a similar project, I do have an MTK 312 model which is nearly complete, I must admit that i never thought of an HST unit for power.I bought a black beetle when they were cheaper,which slotted into the Hornby bogies with no problems , evne although the bogies are not correct for the powered ones.Best of luck.
