David Holman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Splendid and as you say, fiendishly difficult. A coach is a box (albeit with many add ons), a steam loco is a box with a boiler (ok, sweeping generalisations for both), but a railbus is another level in terms of all the complex curves and glazing. Road vehicles likewise, which is why we don't see many scratchbuilds of such things. Seriously multimedia and great to see a whole host of techniques brought together. Very neat on the trailer too and will have to look into the idea of a capacitor for my 2b. Shame they never ran the two back to back, Colonel Stephens style - it would solve the problem of turntables! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you’ll see it fits quite well ….think it’s a 35/470 one that’s recommended. Key issue is that it’s not polarised, given that current flow will regularly reverse.

Gabhal Luimnigh Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 That's a lovely model, I think you've captured the look brilliantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northroader Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 You’re right, it’s all the curves in the bodywork. Buried in all the boxes somewhere there’s a few pieces for the NCC one. Will I ever do it? will I ever find it? Yours is an inspirational job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
