Hello Cov Driver, PM sent -
Hello, I have been trawling the internet trying to find specific interior details of class 121 & 122 DMU bubble cars. I wanted to know when these units got repainted from Green to all over rail blue, where the seat coverings changed at the same time ? Or did some units go in, have just repaint, and get their interiors/seats changed at the next major inspection/overhaul. Any information or picture would be gratefully appreciated. Thanking you in advance Craig

Hi Russ, do you mean what was it’s original use after passenger workings ? Some of the 114’s became Parcels units, hope this helps, apologies if it’s not what you meant. Beat regards Craig

It needs a Bubble car or a 1st gen Bogcart to spice up the variety, get it sorted Mr Peter’s !!!! 🤣

West Kirby Town: narrow gauge is coming to town.
muddys-blues replied to Dmudriver's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Hello Rod, a fantastic day indeed was had …. Yes I was caught out by the speed steps changing !! But none of the trains I was operating had any impact infringements !! Unlike @gismorail with a run away Peak … or was it you @DmudriverRod ? 🤣 anyway definitely cannot wait for the next session. Diolch yn fawr iawn Thank you “very big” Craig -
Such a shame all the previous images have disappeared ☹️. Best regards Craig

Mark, I have a 122 unit, I bought it cheap from Hattons pre-owned as a poor runner, I found in one of the motors, the spindle shaft has excessive back and forth travel, so much so it was getting excessively hot, so something is amiss inside. i have taken the motor out, the unit runs fines on the other motor. Best regards Craig

surely Heljan could scan some of the 126 at Bo’ness, as they are a related unit. J&M Hughes do a 120, I have a couple of pairs of their resin cabs, I am sure if Ben liaised with Micheal from J&M he could knock up a 1:1 version for Heljan to scan ? 😉. Craig

I sent a faulty 121 one back in July, they sent me a print off label, to go with a courier, Parcels2Go, IIRC ? And even offered to post a label to me, if I didn’t have the print facilities. i took it along to the nearest Parcels2Go place to me, which was a Garage, all sorted fine and dandy, no problems, refunded within a week. Best regards Craig

Building another O gauge micro layout and weathering stock
muddys-blues replied to Nick G's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Lovely stuff Nick, it’s coming along nicely 👌. Best regards Craig -
I picked up one of the ground cabin kits, it’s lending itself to loosely being made into a LSWR “thingy” for my 7mm project. It sits on a scratch built stone base, made from Wills 4mm coarse stone sheets, the steps are a 7mm laser cut kit, again bashed about a bit. it’s a great little kit for the money, and Peco’s interior kit is nice as well. i do have one of the Laser brick kits in the stash, but I haven’t even opened that yet Craig

Desire or lack of for 7mm 2nd Generation DMU's
muddys-blues replied to brynna79's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Hello Bryn, not sure if you have seen Chris Turnbull’s Cromer layout, he has a few scratch built 2nd Feb items on there, may be an inspiration to have a go at building yourself something ? Best regards Craig -
Desire or lack of for 7mm 2nd Generation DMU's
muddys-blues replied to brynna79's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Hello Bryn, we was discussing this at Guildex on Saturday, seeing as Dapol has a 63’ chassis on the market now, and it is soon to be joined by Heljan as well. I did mute the 153 would be a good start, if you like kit building, Peter Clark Models does do some of the 2nd gen range in his kits. i would imagine it may only be a matter of time before a RTR model is announced. Best regards Craig -
Hello Mr P, nice improvements, defo better visually and operationally. Can I suggest some stock variation ? May be a 205 2H, or a …… wait for this …. BUBBLE CAR ? 🤭 you know it makes sense ? 🙃 PS sorry we missed you at the Stafford GOG show today !! It was said you was seen leaving there with 2 x Dapol 08’s, a selection of O gauge wagons, 3 x o gauge Peco points, and a box of 12 yards of code 124 bullhead flexi track !!! something Ian Futers in the pipeline ?
