  1. I want to get an 071 . Funds only just allow for one. My heart says black and orange. Or maybe black and silver. BUt my head keeps saying grey. Cant decide.

  2. Thanks everyone - it is ok - I am sorry to ask such basic questions. I had a tin of Brunswick gloss. In the back garden I don't think it is not too far off a picture I have in the Irish Traction book. It will be dark looking in the attic though!

     

    I don't really mind. I have enjoyed building it. Anyway - I didn't shave off the lights because I might feel brave someday and go all orange and black on it.

     

    I wish there were more of these great kits available.

  3. Thanks mr enniscorthy. It is a lima looked ok online but when i got it it appears to have been kept somewhere damp. I spent a good while cleaning it and re soldered the connections/replaced the wire. Runs ok. Pity - i sold an old mainline that was a strong runner not too long ago! I wouldnt really have a clue about lights. I have a few LEDS lying about and a resistor or too but i dont really want to make a mess of this nice kit!

  4. I picked up this from the forum here. Thanks! The chassis is a lima 52 from ebay that arrived in terrible condition. Paid over the odds but the motor seems ok. Anyway. Bit of chopping later . Spot of soldering and I am nearly there. Have the decals waiting from Studio scale models too. Impressed by the kit and decals. Inspired to make a few more. 20140616_223553.jpg

  5. Thank you mr. Glenderg. Unfortunately the good lord decided to make me colour blind and at the same time not a bad artist and craftsman. So i find it really hard to match a can to a livery if you know what i mean. If there was a name or a number it would help! ... :-) i once saved for ages for a walkman . Walked into peats . Bought a pink one thinking it was grey.....
