I've a couple of these to do myself looking forward to seeing your finished models Noel. BTW Noel do you know what colour the seats were as in some pics they are red with a black rear and sides and in others they look to be brown any ideas

Exactly Stephen 400 is OTT as I said fools and their money

I will do a how to when I start the next section. The signal box was cut in half so that it would clear the wall when the trapdoor is opened. All the above corner was done over a weekend from start to finish.

It's just a little disappointing that such an important pice has been left off 112. I used some left over Vitrains spares I had. I'm not to worried about the proper length of the cable just the fact it was forgot about is disappointing. I feel sorry for those who don't have these items lying around and have to go buy them if they want 112 to look correct as it one of the first things that you notice about the NIR 111's compared to the 071's -

If I had of been sitting on that plane looking at the starboard engine spitting flames I don't think I would be calm and efficient -
Score both sides of the tab with a blade and it should just snap off with slight movement

A lot of the front cables and detail are missing of the 112 model. I've counted 4 on the real one that are not on the model. -
The numbers on the silver/black 071's are printed on top of the silver on the sides and the same on the yellow front. They come of very easily with the scalpel blade. As I said before you have to be very very gentle when doing it. I already renumbered one for myself and another 3 for some customers and I've had no problems at all and the final result is fantastic. Also don't put brake fluid anywhere near the model unless you are prepared to do a respray job and be careful if you are using T cut as for some reason the metallic silver don't seem to like it.

Seamus get a 10A scalpel and very very very gently scrape the numbers of. Keep the blade at right angles to the model and don't use the point of the blade keep as much of the sharp edge of the blade in contact with the model. Just finishing of 074 at the minute and will try and put some pictures up for you later.

A little rounding of on the cab ends but other than that she's spot on
