Nearly finished my second ballast plough van.I had to sort the roof antenna on the first van as I made a bags of it first time around.As can be seen the roof has not been glued on the second van yet as I need to get proper glue that won't cause any clouding from super glue like what happened on the first van.Still a bit of touching up and weathering to do.

That's a fine job.
-
My 187 had the chassis lugs taken off as well as all speaker parts that were originally in the loco.I can't say I would fancy taking the speaker out of the housing altogether, although it would save on the work to clear out this area.
-
Noel I just used the standard bass enhanced speaker with the back taken off as I was having trouble getting the cab to fit properly. Some great info on CVs cheers.

I paid a quick visit to Ballybeg a few nights ago and a got a bit of video of my own 187 with realdrive and Gerrys 088 with realdrive.The coasting feature can be seen near the end of the video.088 has a bass reflex speaker in her,and quite a blast especially from the horn sounds.
-
That's a fantastic job Tom.
-
Looks a great kit, and best of luck with it. Do keep us up to date on progress.
-
You can get them rtr, but as a kit no chassis. you get decals and all the bits.Prestwin chassis will fit as well.
-
The IFM cement drop side and curtain. I bought them as kits,drop side 22 euro and curtain side 18 euro without chassis. I bought the Dapol rtr chassis which are very handy with the nem coupling and run very well.The dapol prestwin chassis will fit as well if you want it to look better.The MIR kits are probably more detailed.

I will post up a few photos of them George when I get home.

Beautiful machines.
-
The IFM cements are nice George. I bought mine as kits.
-
Thanks Des, as you can see some of the roof painting and weathering needs to be touched up. She's a lovly little model to build.

Nearly finished my Wickham inspection car 711, just have to stick on the wipers and tidy up paint and weathering. [ATTACH]17491[/ATTACH]

077 is on my shopping list sometime when funds are good.
-
I noticed that too Kevin, I must check my YouTube and see what's wrong.

It's a nice layout alright Noel, and I love getting a chance to run some of my own trains on it.The 141 realdrive is so enjoyable and and had a very nice feel to it.I did not capture the coasting very well on the video as the MK3 train derailed a couple of times right at the wrong time.
-
I paid a visit to the deeps layout last night to try out the new 141 Mr Sound guy chip.So here are two videos and a few photos.
-
Now that's stunning.
-
Looks great Des. I would hope to get a rake started some time in the future.
-
Looks like a nice kit to make and your weathering is good.

Installing DCC in DMU with 2 or more cars
enniscorthyman replied to DiveController's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
Here is a bit of video showing my own 2700 that have the TCS Decoder in the power car,and a TCS lighting decoder in the non powered car.I put extra pick ups on as some flickering occurred,so she runs very well now. -
Installing DCC in DMU with 2 or more cars
enniscorthyman replied to DiveController's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
I have a TCS two function chip in power car, and a TCS lighting decoder in the non powered end.It works well with the directional lighting, however I found that extra pick ups were needed at the non powered end to stop flickering. -
George would PVA glue have the same problem with odour causing the clouding.I can't wait to see your work on the plough vans.

Thanks for the comments lads. That's a good tip there Rich. The junction signal is from the SSM stable and is supposed to work points on the other side of the bridge.
