    • Hi Leslie.  On the Hornby 08 the boxes are separate parts so you can just prise them off. Cheers Darius
    • Thanks for the reply Noel, but as I have only two larger and four smaller white ones that won't work for me. Guess  as you say I will just have to mix and match. I might try a larger on the front with the smaller ones on each side. Thanks  @ttc0169
    • Of course I condemn this appalling desecration of the NCC by a foreign loco, but of course there were thousands of Yanks in Northern Ireland training prior to Operation Torch in North Africa - did you know that they sailed direct from NI to Algeria? To be shot at and killed by the French! It's a wonder that they didn't regauge a few of these to run in Ireland, they'd have been useful! Your cameo would just about work for 1943, the period I am referring to. The first one was built in 1942. As for desecration, I have posted my Bavarian 0-8-8-0 Mallet tank shunting at Portadown Jct - at least it was BLUE and your S160 is a passable NCC red!  Why not go the whole hog and letter it NCC and number it 111, or so?
    • Two more shunters from the roster, these with Irish connections. H&W Harlandic 0-6-0 DM in its final UTA days and a Ruston and Hornsby 0-4-0 DM, a nod to the ex-CSE loco currently with the RPSI at Whitehead. Both built from Judith Edge kits.   If you're wondering why the the 3-link couplings on the front of the locos are defying gravity, there's an uncoupling magnet under the track just there😀
    • Very commendable, Darius. You're obviously staying in out of the sun! How did you remove all those little boxes on each side of the bonnet - it looks like the sort of surgery I would run away from and just sloosh black paint over the standard 08 and apply a few transfers. Rather you than me! Compliments!
