Thanks guys.Not sure if the decals are in the right spot, but looks ok to me.
-
Some photos of the 42's so far. Still not 100% finished yet, with couplings still to be sorted and some painting to be touched up. [ATTACH]16477[/ATTACH]

A nice selection of stock.
-
Happy Christmas to all.
-
You are a star Richie, thanks for help.
-
Happy Birthday Richie.
-
Nice job.There is something nice about a rake of bubbles.
-
Cheers Des.Under belly work done, so I had a go at one those small lugs to see how it fits.
-
Done a bit of work on the underside. Not sure if it's correct, but looks ok to me.
-
Very impressive work, well done.
-
Fantastic job on the CAF. Your 42's are looking gold strong.
-
I love this layout so much.
-
A fine machine they were, and such a great sound at full cry.

You are right Alan, the Hornby Deltic chassis is far too long for the A class body, hence the the chassis has to be cut in the middle and Deltic fuel tank removed. When you buy the A class resin body, you get the fuel tank sides and a bit of plastic card will finish off the missing bit in the middle.The resin kit also comes with the bogie side frames which match up nicely on the Deltic bogies. My workbench has some photos of my build of a39.

Noel it's the unreleased Zimo Mr sound guy A class sound chip that was recorded from a39 a few years ago at Downpatrick.I was with Keith (Mr sound guy) on the day for assistance as Gerry Byrne had organised permission from Downpatrick and ITG for recordings.The chip is unreleased at the moment but Keith is to look at it again.

A little video of my own A class that has the Hornby Deltic chassis, and SSM detail kit.The deltic chassis is not bad at slow speed and the only problem I find is traction,mainly because the bass reflex speaker takes up a lot of space.She can haul 11 cement wagons no bother.

Or you can buy a resin body from DC kits, a Hornby Deltic for its chassis and Studio Scale Models for the detail parts, then paint it in a livery that you like.Quickest way is rtr from silver fox.

Cheers Des.It's a nice kit and I am enjoying it so far, no cursing just yet.The ballast plough van may wait till after Christmas as I want to get one 42 flat done before then.Well done on such wonderfull kits Des. Thanks to Glenderg for his excellent help.

A small update on my 42 flat build. Hard to get time to get out to the shed to do a bit of work,however I have the underside and main body glued together and one bogie is ready for bogie sides.
-
Top job, very nice.
-
Lucky you Tom.You can't beat a nice rake of bubbles.
-
Looks great Noel.

The tankers are the standard Dapol East oil wagons that SSM have a brass kit to make them Irish.It's well worth your while Rich giving these a go if it's your first time doing brass.I am using superglue and it works fine.
-
I got my twin ballast plough vans from SSM today,along with the 42 bogie flats.First I need to finish my final 3 oil tanks which were started this weekend.As work will be busy this next few weeks,I might have to leave the new Kits till after Christmas,not to mention the Wickham inspection car that needs to be finished.I just bought two 42 flats to see how they go.

Great idea:-bd
