Not in the photos I've seen. Just the usual, heavily weathered, BR brown. David

You are! The "Wick fish" ended in 1981 according to Tom Noble (Diesels on the Regions – Scottish Region, OPC). I have photos in my collection that would suggest that BR 12t standard vans, and other short wheelbase vacuum-fitted wagons, were common up to 1980 on the Kyle line and, presumably, also on the Far North.

Custom animals in o gauge

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but here's some more inspiration if you need it:- 1 reply

You've made an excellent job of the landscape. If I may be allowed one small (constructive) criticism? The deer should be a much darker shade of brown. In reality, they would blend in much more with the background. Everything else looks just right! David

I'd guess it has something to do with the tube tunnel. David

Suitable Airbrush Set
Kylestrome replied to Torbay Express's topic in Weathering, Painting & Transfers
I use a fairly basic 'AS186' type compressor (available under different names) which has a reservoir tank, watertrap and variable pressure control. It's relatively quiet, doesn't cost the eath and is more than adaquate for hobby use. Review: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/dmadoomad/as-186-compressor-review-t8.html David -
Suitable Airbrush Set
Kylestrome replied to Torbay Express's topic in Weathering, Painting & Transfers
Consider also whether want something cheap & cheerful, just to get started with, that you will end up replacing with something better/more expensive or whether you want to jump straight in with a decent double-action airbrush and take a while learning how to use it properly. If the latter, I can fully recommend the Neo for Iwata CN with the 0.5mm nozzle and needle. It's gone up a bit in price, since I bought mine, but it is still good value for money IMHO. David -
Is CAD rendering model railways?
Kylestrome replied to David Bigcheeseplant's topic in 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, CAD & CNC
CAD is just another tool and requires a certain amount of knowledge, skill and experience – much like any other modelling tool. (yet another) David -
And that they don't issue certificates. It seems like someone at the bank is talking through their kilt.

Private Owner Vans, did they actually exist?
Kylestrome replied to johnofwessex's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Proving that something doesn't exist is very much harder than proving that it does. However, I think it's safe to say that this is pure fiction. -
Remarkable train videos from 1898
Kylestrome replied to RFS's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
"The colorized and slowed-down-to-normal film segments make you realize that all the people you see in them were all real and alive once!" This comment on the YouTube page pretty much says what I think about these restored films. They almost look like they were filmed more recently. -
Hi all, Has anyone had a go at 'finescaling' the N Gauge Society's Hunslet loco? Wheel replacement or turning down the wheels ...? David

Batteries can be replaced, battery technology is advancing and there will probably be an alternative to lithium one day. But of course, the future is really hydrogen ... All of which has little to do with door-slamming neighbours.

0Mg - Magnesite Wagons Next For IRM
Kylestrome replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
You're going to make a lot of modellers unhappy with these wagons. You haven't left off any details that they can add! David -
Just be thankful it's not one of these (1:30):

I'm guessing that the reason everything's so slow is that Andy is using the server to mine Bitcoin to finance the site. -
I had that problem last year. The battery you need is a CR2450-1GU. I managed to find one here without too much difficulty, although they are not exactly common. https://akkushop-b2b.de/de/cr2450-1gu-lithium-knopfzelle-liegend-printausfuehrung-3er-print/ The battery is soldered to the circuit board by three integrated 'pins', making it awkward to remove. I just cut through the pins and then removed the remains individually with a soldering iron. It's then an easy job to solder on the new battery. HTH and good luck with finding a replacement, David

From the YouTube video description it would seem that the sound decoder is from ESU. This means that you should be able to change the volume by programming CV63. HTH, David
