    • On behalf of everyone at IRM we would like to extend our sincere condolences to David's family, fellow club members and friends.  Although very much a continental modeller in N, he would visit us at every show both home and abroad that he attended, and offer us his best wishes and words of encouragement. A sad loss to our hobby and community. RIP David. 
    • Just to point out folks, this does not affect Accurascale. IRM or indeed Heljan purchases. Cheers! Fran 
    • Thanks Stephen for the clarification,  panic set in when I took the roof of my sound version and it looked the same as my non sound version and I thought were am I going to fit another speaker in there 😕. The sound is imo the best yet as well as the loco. Now to get ordering a sound chip.👍
    • Some progress with the roof conversion and the revised livery. This coach is now 1410, one of the Park Royals fitted for AEC railcar working and included in the last passenger train on the CBSCR in March 1961, quite freshly painted in this 1959-1961 livery. The roof is still to have a spray of grime, but I'm reasonably happy with the new arrangement of ribs and vents. The ribs I've added with lining tape are slightly more subtle than the moulded ones, but the difference isn't huge. They are now in the correct places, as are the 10 pairs of vents (IRM had 9 pairs). The repainted interior and the passengers are nearly ready, but I still need to re-gauge the bogies. I'm enjoying this conversion and FOMO got the better of me - I have bought 2 more... I may never get round to doing anything with them but I doubt they'll lose value. I have some 1980s era conversion options in mind including one with a guard's compartment, also a former suburban with toilet added, and possibly even an ambulance car. Or they might just have their underframes and bogies robbed for other vehicles.
    • As per your quote all the hunslets have a speaker set up built in. Just add a sound decoder for the sound experience.
