I’ve had this box of weights for about 10 years now and am just about half way through. I think I’m good. Cheers Darius

Phoenix “CIE Golden Brown” enamel airbrushed on. Self adhesive car wheel balancing weights fixed to chassis. I got a big box full of these quite cheaply several years ago before they started being sold as single strips to railway modellers at exorbitant prices. Cheers Darius

- Resin body cleaned up and sprayed with white primer. - Hornby Class 73 chassis cut and shut to size with plasticard reinforcement. - Sides cut from Hornby bogies and replacements grafted on. Cheers Darius

Why am I not surprised Cheers Darius

Fortunately they seem to be the only side effects I’ve had so far although they seem to be less frequent now - or just less apparent in the heat. I thought I’d got away with it but my hair started falling out on Tuesday and has continued to do so. Not sure which look to go for… This Or this Cheers Darius

Hi Leslie. On the Hornby 08 the boxes are separate parts so you can just prise them off. Cheers Darius

Now on the Whiterock roster. I enjoyed this conversion so I’ve obtained another Hornby 08 - to become D304 in Black & Tan livery. Cheers Darius

Ready for painting. Cheers Darius

Bodyside doors cut from plasticard sheet. Primer on Test fit to chassis. Cheers Darius
-
Further progress. Cab truncated. Bodyside skinned and cab modified. Louvres scribed and side boxes added. Cheers Darius
-
Understood, but it seems a shame to cut up and waste most of a whole second loco just for the cab roof. I’ll re-work the Hornby roof. Cheers Darius

New project - conversion of a Hornby 08 into a D301 Class. Body removed and disassembled. Handrails and piping removed Bodysides sanded smooth to accept a thin plasticard skin. Next steps will be a new, shallower cab, new side boxes and louvered bodyside doors from plasticard. I may salvage the Hornby cab roof Cheers Darius

Looking at hand uncouplers online and thought I could make some myself using scraps of brass I’d collected over the years. Cheers Darius
