You can actually convert this Class 11 to EM by simply moving the Heljan wheels out to EM back to back, and they run perfectly well.......I've done it! You will have to move the side frames out, but that is not a problem. Remove the brake sand bins from the outside of the side frames, they just need prizing off as they have two pins holding them on. Under each of them is a screw. Undo the four screws, and the frames will lift off, although the front footsteps will probably need removing and moving out a touch too.

Excellent if they are! Pete

Hi Paul, thanks for that good video! Can you tell me what the axle diameter is on the loco? I fancy getting one and converting to EM. Pete Hill

What do you mean? Expo EM is not late or missing! Both the May Bracknell ExpoEM and the August Wakefield Expo EM are still ongoing since lockdowns.

Yes, that was quite funny building it around him! Pete

Hi T-b-g, Was Roy's workbench shed (in the shed) built when you first came? That was around 2004 when I did that. Pete

That video is exactly as I first met Roy at Retford! Operation boards outside at the front, minimal fiddle yards and hardly any scenic areas. The basic grounding around the flat crossing was started by Richard Nice and myself, then T-B-G and Buccaneer John completed the area and started the teddy bear fur work. That is where I met Rich, and became involved in many exhibition operating weekends with his Stainmore Summit. Pete

Greetings! Only just found this layout thread this morning! Knew you were up to something, but this is very impressive. Have a good Christmas too. Pete

Very nice running there John.....looks like you'll need some more trackwork at each end soon! Pete

I'd try ringing Branchlines. Got some Mashima items from them at Expo back in May.

Well, it's typical really. Build your own that no one has ever produced in 4mm, and soon someone proposes an rtr one!

Thanks Paul, and sounds like a fun day then. Hope you did well at Glaisdale!

Hi Paul, what size are the driving axles? Normal Bachmann 3mm hopefully!
