  1. RMWeb had to change server host due to poor performance and as a result of more of the same performance most of the photos/documents uploaded onto RMWeb before that time have been lost - decades worth!!! Darius
  2. I went for RMWeb Gold to support the site when it was first offered, which was before the big database issue earlier this year and the ever worsening advertising issues. As such I don’t get any ads apart from BRM related ones. Cheers Darius
  3. Hey. I represent that post!!! Cheers Darius (FICE)
  4. “Sputnik” gangway door scratch built using plasticard and The Worsley Works etched door frame. Cheers Darius
  5. More information on Trix/Liliput here. Cheers Darius
  6. Hi. The Trix UK models were in the main produced to a scale of 3.8mm to the foot, so they are sort of HO-ish compared to OO, but they were of good quality and fidelity compared to the Triang/Hornby/Dublo models of the time. The AL1/Class 81 model was an exception, being produced to 4mm to the foot scale. It also, in my view, looks more like an AL1 than the Triang-Hornby or Hornby-Dublo AL1s. Cheers Darius
  7. Roof vents etc. added. Cheers Darius
  8. Another Trix AL1 upgraded - as Shields Road 81 009. Cheers Darius
  9. On the plus side, two of the coaches were fitted with battery powered LED lighting strips with mini push button operation. These have been salvaged. Cheers Darius

  14. Thanks to Galteemore, Larne Cabin, DB Joe and Noel for their kind words and encouragement- and to Lambeg Man for both that and the excellent photos. Some more MPD material has arrived courtesy of eBay… Cheers Darius
  15. Completed model - as No. 63. Cheers Darius

  19. Dunpaintin. I added undergibbon parts “hewn” from spare MTK white metal DMU undergibbon parts - suitably cleaned up before fixing. Cheers Darius
  20. Dapol coach chassis modified to accept a Hornby DMU motor bogie and trailing bogie. Test fit of coach body to chassis. I still have to fit the chassis undergibbons. Cheers Darius
