No problem I have not even unpacked mine to busy it is confusing with the printing on the plinth.

Cheers

Please order through the site?

Hi Pete,

 

Sent you a mail, not sure if you got it. I'm ready to order one but......given I don't have the time and more importantly the talent to build and paint one to a high standard can you recommend someone who'd be willing to take it on? Mozza Models isn't taking on anymore work at the moment.

 

Thanks

Martin

Martin

Pete

Redgate Models will answer this for you.

Fitting the Deltic with sound is fun isn't it been there done that, sounds great with the mega base speakers.

Nice work Lee

Sort of Ian as with several others on here I have a second passion after model railways and that's Cars mainly in my case classic Fords being a Ford trained technician in the past and some of the parts the parts are not cheap as they have to be hand made.

HI all



I have just added 16 items for sale to the special section of my website a lot of limited addition models and several train packs all 4mm at the moment i'm afraid.

Pete

My Big Bertha will go around set track point work and track, I have .5 mm side movement on the first and fifth axles, 1 mm on the second and forth and full movement with on the third axle, all of the wheels have flanges on them, the third axle is also the driving axle with the DJH motor/gearbox on it as well.

I hope this helps?

That looks first class Phil

Pete

Well Jeff OzzyO makes his own fly wheels using the cast method and they work fine & he does turn them on his lathe and balances them, if they can design a model accurately they could design a proper fly wheel.

You have a very nice build there it's not until you reach this stage that you realize what an Asymmetric frame this wagon has.

Well done keep the progress pics coming.

It looks like an exert from an open university program (if only they had made one on the APT-E)

I know its not moving......

When will we be contacted to pay the final balance payment please?

Do you have a layout thread for Curzon Street?

Thanks Matt!

 

Good to see you and thanks for lending a helping hand last week! Really good to see your Electrostar, looking nice in the clean SouthEastern colours, and three Electrostars on one layout must be a record now!

 

It was a great weekend overall - it was so busy I barely got a chance to take any pics, just a couple here -

There's a long way to go on the houses but they looked a little more 'settled in' with the addition of some Chelsea tractors!

There was a good selection of traders and I managed to come away with some bargain Dapol '73's for future rebuilding, adding to the London theme!

 

Finally, it was a novel (and heart-stopping) experience being able to pack the entire layout and stock onto pallets to be taken back downstairs to the van outside, different!

Overall, a top weekend, a great first show at Telford for Rail Express, and fingers crossed there will be a repeat next year!

 

Cheers,

Very nice but shouldn't all the car be Fiat 500's for that part of London?

You and Big Jim could of been separated at Birth Dan

Ian

I have had that in the past it's not the varnish that is the problem its the decal type i.e. layer printed type rather than ink/varnish type.

sellotape should remove the decals and then some very fine wet/dry working should get those off.

Probably because they cannot remove then with out wrecking the motors.

I have found that a fly wheel makes a significant difference with a Mashima motor when running at slow speeds and that goes for both scales 4 or 7mm models.

if fly wheels were constructed of two materials smaller fly wheels could be used i.e. brass centre/shaft mounting and cast white metal/lead outer covering they would be far more efficient and give much better results.

Ian

What have you in mind for the drivers position?

To be quite honest Ian you model looks far better than anything that toy company could produce.

Well done sir.

Phil

The roof needs to look like this?

Pete

P.S. This was before I produced the radio pods.

The cab fronts on the 158's make them look sad like they have failed the audition for a Thomas the Tank film.

Great paint job.
