Just wondering lads A Friend of mine is doing a rake as was wondering if there are Ready to stick Buffers that are like the Taras out there somewhere. I Know as few chaps Scratched their own but this route would save him a bitteen of time. G

Done another bit tonight, Hate to see what the ESB bill will be after this yoke. Started at 1000 and went till 0100hrs. Heres the pics of the Progress so far, Nothing tricky to report. Everything seems to go very well except when you think you know better and skip reading the Instructions. Wheel and bearings on Battery Boxes Went together well. White Metal fittings on. More to do. Roof Vent on Gangway Completed, Just need to Add the Crepe paper surround and the hanging bars: Other end to do tomorrow

Busy Enough Rich, 3 more SSM 20ton brake vans came today!!. Maybe time to advertise on Job Bridge for someone to build a layout for me!! only joking of course.....

Just beed using the Hold and Fold tool at the top this evening and it is a quality product for sure. The Handrail jig is next up!!

LOL, That jet wont be Oragne for sure, Thats was meant to be a quick build but is now in its 4 month. anyhow 1.5 hours later we have reached this stage: Everything went together pretty well except for the W irons where one set of tabs is fouled by the Solebars but 2 mins with a needle file and it was sorted. No problem. The roof is just placed on at this stage. Looking forward to the Next bit!!

Love the reverse Curve Kirlry.

Fantastic bit of kit, Thought out well too, I Like the ideas of the servos too as they are much kinder to the point and great possibilities with signals. Can see one of these being purchased in the future. Seems fairly Straight forward to work out how to do it also!! Thanks for throwing this up. G

Well the Postie arrived yesterday with a Parcel from the southern Hemisphere and by god what a package. Upon opening the box you are greet with a fairly substantial instruction sheet as well as some illustrations and a bit of history of the van. The brass was each packaged in its own Tissue paper,Lovely white metal pieces in a separate bag, Clear Acetate for the windows, Pre rolled roof and pre rolled side. In fact Mr Mayner has not left much out in all fairness. The kit looks exquisite. I told myself to hold back but I started as small bit tonight. There are some Fiddly bits to do, The Gangways probably the most difficult part. Over all a well thought out kit with Clear and Concise instructions that don't Confuse a Nation!! 10 out of 10 form me so far!! Heres some shots of the bits n bobs. Thnak you John for the Excellently Pre rolled Sides and roof!! Heres the Start. Sides and Ends Folded. Could not help Myself, Test fit of the Fantastic Roof Cheers G

Wow, They look Brilliant and almost could build themselves. Can wait to see them in the Flesh!

Cheers Rich.This had roof detail in the form of a Square section where the Exhaust pipes pop out. Has BB on the Etch though. The Grills aer soldered onto the inside.

Hi Lads, Aint done much in the Way of Building but have moved on and corrected the A Class over size white stripe and the little angle at the cab end. it was bugging me. Also restarted a Bill Bedford Mk.3 EGV Van, Not a good as SSM ones to be sure.. Hope to be able to stick a bit more up and I am getting back into the Swing of thing now. Cheers George

That sounds pretty good, Love the Exhaust note.

Despressingly Bloody good, The Little Railcar unit is fab as well.

Cements look pretty good to me and not a bad price either!!

Must take a look at those Eamonn - missed em. Met the guy the other week and a nice chap as well.

Not a GWR man myself but she will go well next to the City of Truro!!

Both Gone.

IHMO the difference is Minimal and barely Detectable, I Have fitted a 201 with Bass Enhanced speaker and have one without. I feel not much is noticeable between the 2. Changed a speaker in a Kernow class 205 as well and the sound basically was the same. Might be my hearing though being around jets n stuff over the years.

Dapol did some N gauge Dummy units that had a lower cost that the powered one. A few guys I know have gutted their 141s to run as a dummy behind a powered unit as there was a bit of performance difference after a while A Dummy unit Makes sense to me once the cost can come down, If not then no point..

Looking Good John.

Sign of things to come really. Walk in to a shop to buy, say an Airfix kit and you will chose the Mark, Decals, Add ons etc and printed off while you have a coffee. Stuck in a box and off you go to stick it together.
