    Rivets

    Rivet transfers as mentioned above are great if you need to do full rows of rivets, however if the rivets are placed irregulary then applying individual ones from evergreen strips are probably the best option.

    Here's a really quick video showing the U class running, my example was perfect straight out of the box and ran no problem. All the footage is raw un edited stuff, so no slow mo involved haha. Will do a proper running video and review sometime this week, just wanted to make this video to address any concerns anyone had about the engine and its running. Would have done a proper vid but coursework needs done first. Sorry about the lighting and quality.

    I missed my loco arriving on the Friday, however I'll be going down tommorow to pick it up. I cannot wait. Good idea about the nameplate and builders plate. I have ordered from narrow planet before and their service is very good.

    IRM Cement Bubble Poll - Mercig Factory Weathering or Pristine Finish?

    I am also like some people here, and do worry about how factory weathering looks, yes the master might be stunning but it's all about how the factories in china can do it. I was worried to see how DJM's J94's would turn out weathered but its safe to say that the people in china have been able to capture the masters pretty well and it looks good. Here's some pics on hattons of the production models, notice no difference in price as well which is always a plus.

    Hello everyone,

    Whilst I'm working away on commissions etc, I thought some of you might like to see what dad has been up to, he's just recently finished this O gauge Parkside Dundas 20/21 ton hopper an is now building a second one.

    Its challenging to fit a reasonably powerful motor inside a J15 boiler and find enough space to add weight and a decoder, it will be interesting to see how Hornby? will motorise the new Dean Goods.

     

     

    Hornby did a great job with their GER J15, the body and cab are both made from die cast metal and the motor is still able to be powerful enough. Hornby aren't updating the dean goods, it's Oxford rail, they making a brand new model of it.

    A very good company, I've ordered from them before via cheque and the whole process was quick and smooth. It is best however to email what you are wishing to buy just in case he doesn't have it in stock, but everything can be made to order.
