There are two codes of rail code 82 the EM Gauage 1m metre which works well with the bases then Code 83 which can ribbon finger tips like nobodys...

I took some at York years ago now the mock up cab is was in on display until recently? ###### me it was eight years ago I took the pics!

Ian

Will sort some out in the morning,

though I would say that it does look a real mess at the moment as given the doubt about how I will continue the project I havent bothered with any cleaning up around the added components yet.

 

need to find some more photos I think, ideally a top down shot over the end of the coach to give the end profile.....

Rich wouldnt mind a set if and when they do finally come out..

Ian

start over..make sure everything is greasse free fibre glass the lot the whole job.

over do the crossing take to much metal away and after a few it will click and youll be banging em out for fun!

Ian

What wheels are you using with the 142?

I swapped mine for 10.5mm

Ian

I would have a look at using some etched bogies and slapping the plastic on the side! looking good.

I have always wondered why there was a gap on some the floor doesnt match the sides do they really! I had a stab at a few by adding some refinforcing strip.

Ian

Branchlines offers a complete remotor and trailing options, I have bits and bobs for 16 of them!

Considering it was another Hornbvy model that was tooled as the real ones where being built it stacks up as an OK model and what unit hasn't had alterations or such like over a twenty year service?

I dont think there is actually much in either kit between Highlevel and Branchlines. I have highlevel power bogies but for the 142's I went Branchlines.

I had a thread on demu forum which set out my thoughts on doing a fleet of them.

Ian

Its amazing really it took as long as it did for someone to get onto the glazing as a stand alone product? cheap enough arent they too.

Looks good and as you say simple enough to do.

Ian

Looking like a fine model. What motor combination are you thinking of using?

Ian

Thats my kind of piccy!

You know pugs it can be rather calming....god knows why!
