    I have had success scraping the numbers off MM 071s with the sharp tip of a cocktail stick.

    A side by side before and after of the buffer mod would be great if you haven't done them all yet!
  3. murphaph
    Fabulous end result!

    Interesting that IRM is listing the MM stuff on the projects page. Thanks for that. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/en-de/pages/projects

    They look fabulous with the Hornby buffers. Great work!

    I've never seen a 20' with a pair of double doors like that.
  7. murphaph
    Absolutely! These are the things most people never photographed.

    As my father often used to say, they are an acquired taste.

    Very informattive stuff! Did these Cortaulds wagons get down south much?

    Looking good! Can't wait to see the progress.

    When was the last time a H van ran with the mail train?

    Welcome Paul. Nothing embarrassing about that jumper. It's a great memory to have. I'm sure many of us wish we had more pictures of our childhood adventures. I reckon you'll pick up 007 in model form at some stage. They do come up as lads decide they are focusing on a particular era and let their other stuff go.

    What a beauty!

    I'm pretty sure @Garfield said that all the "ballast chassis" based models were complete with the release of the magnesite wagons.

    You cannot currently buy 21mm wheelsets for either IRM or MM locos as far as I know, certainly not from the manufacturers as you can with Accurascale locos. You would need to either extend the axles with bushes or replace them entirely. The IRM bogies are not a plug and play replacement for the Cravens. At least some modification is required. The original bogies can of course be cut in half and a spacer installed to widen them. The IRM stock that is 21mm ready is trivial to regauge. Just use a wheel puller to ease the wheels out on the axles and get a back to back gauge to push them back in to. I believe at least some, maybe all of the SSM kits can be made in 21mm. The Provincial Wagons RTR models that I have are not really regaugable as they are based on GB models. I don't know if the kits are but @leslie10646 can answer that definitively for sure
