Dunmorfettlin… Cheers Darius

Dunfetlin… I have temporarily fitted the MTK buffer beams to the bogie fronts. There are some 3D printed versions on there way from eBay… Cheers Darius

And watch the smoke from the motor burning itself out as the loco moves not. Cheers Darius

Primer on. Test fit to chassis. Body lowered to final position. Further fettling required at the roof to bodyside joint. Cheers Darius

Acquired recently in a part assembled state - an MTK Class 45 kit. The body side parts were carefully separated and the original adhesive (looks like Evo Stick) removed. The bodyshell was then reassembled. Gaps and joints were filled and left to harden. Plan is to mate the shell with a Mainline chassis. The original chassis weights are probably not required… Cheers Darius

Thanks Gibbo - I had a set of the MPD drawings on my old laptop but it has since died with them still on board. Cheers Darius

Cab front and door handrails fitted. I used 0.45mm dia. brass wire for the door rails and 0.7mm dia. nickel silver wire for the cab front rails. Cheers Darius

Buffer beam details fitted. Cheers Darius

I replaced the rather crude mesh grilles provided with the kit with etched brass grilles from A1 Models. Did the same for the Class 27. Cheers Darius

Initial painting completed. Cheers Darius

I was aware of the fuel tank differences between the 33 and 27 but chose not to hack about the chassis too much at this stage. I’ve been collecting MTK for some time now and am building them for fun and to show that they can be built to a reasonable standard compared to the rtr Heljan examples - of which I have quite a few. At the end of the day I really enjoy building kits. Cheers Darius

Something different - BR wagon built for carrying DEMU engines between depots on the Southern Region. 3D printed kit by 12A models. The kit goes together nicely. I printed my own decals based on images on the 12A models website. Cheers Darius
