Thank you for all the positive comments guys, whilst taking off unwanted moulded detail I did doubt my sanity and was it worth it? Definately and will do another when I can get some more T/tank coaches. Now what to do with all the Hornby brake van chassis? I had never tried using separate door handles and grabs, for me the jury is still out but Mrs 84C likes them!
Thanks Jim, did put your suggestion to Mrs 84C but she just laughed! and said I should be so lucky, so very cruel!
Noel, the transfers are from Railtec their Irish range and I have nothing but praise for their service,very friendly and swift, and the quality of the product. My only interest is a satisfied customer.
JHB, part of the project was to see if I could make something out of a pigs ear. I am very happy with my coach. I was also amazed that +30yr old humbrol paint was still ok and sprayable, thats the green on the sides, which I do not think is quite dark enough.
