The Kato/Hobbytrain V65 is the best of the lot; very heavy, worm drive, double reduction gearing, will easily pull 100+ wagons without a second thought......

For 546, given most of the interior is hidden behind the sealed up windows, is there any need to model the interior. Not as if the model is 2 inches from your face....

Making your own backscenes is the only way

Drama queens - and thanks to whoever it was for the LURVELY feedback

Ive one too - there were lots of these available 20 years ago when the final batch of A's were being cut up in Inchicore, the ITG sold plenty as a fundraiser

One wonders 'if' the Buttevant/Cherryville Junction disasters had not occured, would the timber bodied stock have been replaced so quickly... -

Was there a special batch of 20ft flats for this working, all painted red (under the dirt) as they had sparkproof brake shoes? -
3 inch steel plate works well. Also why not make your own backscene, take a photo and use a large format printer......

Interesting thread, but it shows the size of the market in the UK and interest in everything. Heljan alone cornered the market in Diesel Prototypes, Bachmann with their sublime Blue Pullman and what DJ Models and Rapido have planned the market will be good. Many years ago Lima said they would not make a model unless it was possible to release it in 3 prototype models - does not seem to be the case anymore. The Heljan Class 16 marked the last mainline diesel model to be made in OO scale, now everything is a duplicate of one kid or another

Id say the Bachmann NEM bars, come with the coaches

Carefully remove body by hacking with a pickaxe or a sledgehammer. Then dismantle the model by using brute force. Pull everything apart Place all parts into a food blender, along with a careful mix of water,washing up liquid and brake fluid. Blend for precisely 6 minutes and 37 seconds. Reassemble and et voila - shiny new loco ready for another few years sat on the shelf in its box -
Understatement of the year right there....... The CIE drawing will also show you that the windscreens are the wrong size, shape and position on the SF model and the EMD headlight is not even centered.......

or given its in Holland...

The final solution has been posted earlier and people still maintaining 2 power bogies are better (Off topic - were there Evergreen and M SC containers in 1981?)
