    i could be wrong but the upturned light appears to be a funnell placed over the light fitting - simpler solution i suppose than drilling and wireing....

    welcome StrettyBoy...the best thing you did so far was to join the site! we all had to start somewhere, so start small and work from there....it is amazing how quickly your comfidence grows and the adventurer in you comes to the surface! the lads are great for tips and advice, so ask away no matter how daft - you want to read some of the stuff i asked when i started:rolleyes:

    rigtht lads - thanks to all for the comments. i tried bith break fluid and t cut on old locos and both work fine, but it leaves the paint work dull, so i will need a quick blast of gloss varnish. one word...'GENTLE!!'... be as gentle as you can with the rubbing and be sure to try it out on old unwanted stock to perfect the removal before trying out on the new!

    was in the curragh during the week and watched 6 railcar sets go by with as little as 4 on one train. cant be the companys fault if nobody is using them. anyone know how much it costs to run a 3 car set from dublin to limerick?

    used that method before and no matter how short a time i left the fluid on it removed some of the shine on the paint work - thanks for that anyway. grahams resprays suggests hot water to remove the sealer and mets for the decal - tried that on an old loco but the same effect. might look like i will have to weather the feck out of the cabs to cover it!

    total shot in the dark - the Tralee and Dingle?
  19. heirflick
    anyone any idea before i do something stupid that might ruin the paintwork?

    lads, what is the best way to remove decals from a loco body that has been sealed with johnsons clear?
  21. heirflick

    with all the spare timber - why not make a display case and have it complete with track and scenery?
  24. heirflick
    i give up! who ?

    Why is it that when someone tells you that there's billions of stars in the universe, you believe them. But if they tell you there's wet paint somewhere you have to touch it?
