The opposite cab cab and bonnet lights to the direction of travel if someone has any idea about this I'd appreciate any info.
Try reading and changing the value of CV29. Change from 0 to 1.

Does anyone know if these trains are operating or if the recent rain has affected them?

For the life of me, I can't remember what the ULT maintenance abbreviation stenciled onto the side of the chassis means? ( It was stenciled onto both carriages and wagons).But what I can see from the photo, January 1975 was the last time the wagon got its "ULT maintenance"?
I asked that question before and got the following answer:

Class 181 aerials
I saw a post elsewhere of someone looking for aerials for the 181 class. It seems that only some locos were fitted with these aerials, and though they come in the box with the Murphy Model offering, they are often lost as they are so small - only about 3.5mm long.
It was not the 3D printing project that I had in mind after my last post, but a few iterations gave a resonable result. They pass well within the 2 foot rule - even up close they are pretty similar, apart from the colour. 4 rivets included, for those counting. If anyone is in dire need of replacements, let me know - lol.

Has anyone ever used the DHL option with order value over €150.00 and if so how did it go? According to Hatton's it should be shipped with out any additional fees.
Recently got a package via DHL over the €150 and no issues. Delivered in 3-4 days.

One method would be to install microswitches under the point, either operated by the throwbar or by some part of the point motor. The switches would be on-off and could be used to switch a sepperate 12V power supply to LED lamps. Make your own mounts or buy them if you can find ones to fit your motors - example here: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/233325153647

Looks, runs and sounds great!

Other locos are not affected, its a hornby elite by the way.

I got rid of my Hornby Elite, it gave weird problems such as this and was not particularly user friendly.

Hmmm. Nobody guessed 20' or 22.5' skeletal 2 axle wagons. That would be my preference.
Good guess I'd say.
Some sort of railcar would make sense, either modern or back to the AEC's etc. I wouldn't rule out some PW equipment though...
I'm doubtful about seeing the footbridge yet but we can hope!

Thank you all for the kind comments. I am happy with the result, though there is a lot of cracking in the paint which is visible up close.

I may move onto a 3D printed project next, though I suspect that we'll see a RTR version of this model at some point.

Class 2700
I took time over the last two weekends to complete this build. Most of the first weekend was devoted to altering the lighting to circuits to show 2 whites headlights rather than the 'daylight' lighting configuration of the donor model. The alteration only required 2 new LEDs to be installed, however the project used about 10 SMD LEDs as two of the original red LEDs blew during testing and I lost several of the new white SMD LEDs in the process. Most of last weekend was spent with finishing cosmetic touches including 3D printing the front valence and false couplers for each end of the unit.
