Just going to leave this here.

Weathered this baby up using reference photos from Paul Bartlett's site

I'll just put this here.....

Change of plan

With Bachmann releasing their collectors club SNCB blue 90, I've decided to repaint mine into SNCF.

Now I have to find the correct orange

T

I'm proud (I think) to be on the lending a hand on the stand at the Warley show this year.

Yoohoooo

Thanks for that.

Was chatting with Brian of Shawplan and didn't realise I got a pot of RM880 off him at MR Scotland (for a different job).. I have a head like a sieve.

I'll order up some decals from Fox then all I'll need is the 90 :-)

T

I'm itching to repaint one and number one on my list is 90128 in SNCB

Can anyone tell me what Blue to use for SNCB one?

Do Railmatch or Phoenix Precision Paints or is it a standard RAL colour?

Thanks

T

Dammit.... look at those TMC banners over the stand!!

I should have asked for them to be taken down

This weekend I am proudly representing Accurascale at Ally Pally…… what have I let myself in for.

C’yaz over the weekend ;-)

Tony

Soz for slow reply.

Emailed Golden Valley Hobbies direct and they asked me to return it back to them (refunding the postage).

FYI

I went to run the loco on out club layout which has a dual DC/DCC system (was running DC):
DC - Gaugemaster Model D (Output: 2 x 12v D.C. at 1 amp each controlled).
DCC: Gaugemaster DCC02 Prodigy Advance2.

Not in any hurry for it anyway

Thanks for all the info

Just got my little Janus (Happy Christmas to me)

Popped it on the track and POP! The PCB blew. Anybody else have this problem?

Just got my email from Hattons.

I have (now had) 12 MK2F's on pre-order at £25.46 each (Total 305.52)

Now I've been told that they are £42.46 (Total 509.52) that's a 66.77% increase (Plus conversion to Euro & P&P)

I was looking forward to these but 66.77% increase is taking the p&%$...

Order cancelled

Dapol made my decision easier. I wasn’t going to repaint the loco but when it arrived (with all its buffers intact) the colours were soooo far off I had to… There is still a bit of work to be done but nearly there. Anyone know where I can get the correct numbers for 73123??

ETA Dapol?

I pre-ordered this waaaaaay back in March 2013

Tony

<blowing the dust of the topic>

One month on from last post.... Has anyone heared any news on the 73?

T

So when are they going to do

90028    Vrachtverbinding
90029    Frachtverbindungen
90030    Fretconnection

muahahaha

Just had an email from a well known box purveyor, that at least two (plain blue and large logo) of the Dapol 73's are due in stock between September/October 2014.

Me to

Dapol 4D-006-000 Class 73 electro-diesel 73102 "Airtour Suisse" in Intercity livery

September/October 2014.

Fingers crossed

Got my Sentinel in the post this morning.

It looks lovely (NCB blue)

Good start to the new year

Tony

Dear Santa Dave

I've been a bery good boy and would like a OO Class 59

Did anybody have a chat with Dapol at The Warley show back in November?

Any update on this model?

xTx

Radley does a resin kit of GP wagons, I started drawing in for etch, but never finished the artwork.

Jon

Yeah I see Radley do a kit but at £49/pair I think I'll have a go at making one..

Gonna start sketching it up in AutoCAD using photos and the dimensions given from Miss Prism

Should be fun

Regards

Tony

Has anyone made or tried making the long "GP" General Purpose wagon?

Would love to know more about it. e.g. demensions, bogies etc..

Tony M

Thanks for the quick reply Dave.

Good to here it.

Was only chancing my arm with the unpainted version
