201 fitted with sound

Yes Stephen that's the point I'm making Paddy always says he need to sell what's out there before he can bring more out. If the Super Train is on the shelves how many people could turn their noses up at one and walk away. If he keeps the most popular till the last until the least popular sell out.

Antooooooooooooooooo!

Yep its me:rolleyes:

Very nice, you never see pictures of heavily weathered Supertrain 141's.

Here you go Fran this one I did now lives in America

I made a few simple modification to the circuit board on my 201 to enable the cab lights to work. I am using a TCS 6 function 21 pin decoder but this modification will work with any 21 pin 6 function decoder. You will need 2 resistors, a soldering iron, solder and a pair of tweezers

In this picture we have the circuit board before I start work

First start by removing the diodes and resistors with your soldering iron. The ones you are looking to remove are marked R1,R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, Q1, Q2

Then take your 2 resistors and solder them where I have in the picture below. Now you will have F0 side lights. F1 full beam #1 end. F2 full beam #2end. F3 cab light #1 end, F4 cab light #2 end

Some decoder manufactures tell you to remove the suppressors fitted to whatever loco you have. On the MM 201 these are the green bulb (black,red,silver stripe on them) shaped devices either side of the decoder.

Remove these with your soldering iron and with your tweezers pull the red and black wires across and resolder job done

I hope some of you guys find this helpful its not hard to do even if you don't have any soldering experience and it enables you to buy any 6 function 21 pin decoder

Some of the model in production

I was looking at photos of B113 in Cultra and got to thinking that a lot of you guys never seen the fantastic models that Hiddenagenda produced of this loco last year.

Hiddenagenda did a production of 12. 10 of these were sold to the public via Dave Bracken, 1 was for Hiddenagenda and 1 was for myself.

They were built from brass and plasticard and powered by a Bachmann class 20 chassis with the proper bogies fitted. The painting of all 12 was done by myself and they were available in 3 different liveries with the exception of 1 green livery with a white strip for Dave's own collection.

I have to say that I have had many hours of enjoyment with this loco and it has to be the best scratch built loco I have seen by a member of this site It makes the Shapeways model look like a car crash. If it only was a beer it would be called Carlsberg

This is my own one B114 and yes before you guys say it she was the only one out of the 12 to be weathered.

Enjoy the photos

Here are a few I weathered a couple of weeks ago for a good customer of mine. They wanted a very heavy weathered 012 and supplied the photos to work from. Hope you like.

A big thank you to ttc0169 for the use of his photos while weathering 229. Here are some of the photos I used.

222

222 was lightly weathered

Dirty Sisters 229/222

I recently got 229/222 so as usual they had to get hit with the weathering stick

I weathered 299 quite heavily so here's a few pics for you

229 Before

229 After

Hiddenagenda's Beat Wagons

Hiddenagenda sent me down some of his new beat wagons that he is producing to build paint

and weather so you guys could all see what can be achieved with the new kit

I got round to weathering 201 and 8208 I just gave them a light weathering as most of the photo's I looked at they seemed to be quite clean.

Finished these over the weekend. I will post pictures of the ammonia wagons later in the week when I get them finished.
