pteandy1402 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Nearly there with the Network Rail timber trial MPV. Started with the Bachmann mpv, the rear unit I created a cast of the drive unit under chassis to house a speaker 20x40mm. I put a loksound decoder in the cab behind the bulkheadand hardwired the extra lights, sound and stay alive. It has a legomanbiffo sound file in it. The log carrier I drew in autodesk inventor and 3dprintingcorner printed it for me. Edited July 8, 2023 by pteandy1402 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pteandy1402 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Start of my updated network rail autoballaster rake with yellow band, black logos. Again used the la totally awesome to remove the factory rubbish weathering. Used precision paints railtrack warning yellow and railtec decals. This will be getting some special electronics in this one with a servo getting fitted working ballast chute and ballast pouring from side chute at rear. The floodlights along the bottom will also be powered. Legomanbiffo has also added ballast pouring sounds to his class 66 sound file for me but it will all be dcc controlled. Will use migs weathering video using chipping fluid to weather the top edges of the wagon Edited January 8, 2022 by pteandy1402 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pteandy1402 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Bachmann class 70 updated the lighting. Used loco-updates.uk website as a basis and added a few extra bits like the step lights and engine window lights. These were very distinctive when I used to see these at night at my old signal box in ditton. A lot of rewiring in this using 12 function outputs. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pteandy1402 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) https://flic.kr/p/2nkiUgn A pair of Bachmann Class 90s for Making Tracks 2 in Chester for Pete Waterman. A lot of work has gone into these. The factory weathering was pretty poor with just a brown mist underneath. I used T-cut to remove the factory weathering and create streaks. I also removed the the zero injury logo and blanked BR logos and Crewe Electric Depot plates. I used Fox transfers etched crewe electric depot plates and Railtec decals, and Nairnshire modelling Supplies etched BR logos. I used a mix of Ammo Mig streaking grime, grey panel wash and precision paints roof grime and frame dirt. I added a 0603smd led and mapped it to a random function output on the decoder Edited May 13, 2022 by pteandy1402 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pteandy1402 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 A pair of Freightliner Class 86s weathered and a nano led fitted for a photograph arc effect. These are Pete Watermans to run on making tracks. After seeing SQRails post about how he faded the paintwork using a mix of freightliner green and a light grey and masking the logo to replicate a fresh vinyl logo being applied. I added the missing zero injury decals with railtec ones along with the 86627 renumber and used Fox transfers for the main logos and smaller freightliner logos on the cabs. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
