gm171 kk Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Got my hands on 133 yesterday. I haven't run it yet but I did place it on the layout for a few photos. Unfortunately there's a few details damaged in the box so it has to go back to the seller. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handrails and a couple of other bits on mine were broken so unfortunately I have to exchange it. Looking forward to 129 so I can have a pair.

gm171 kk Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 133 on the airbraked liner tonight. Delighted with 133. Next weekend should be busy with 133 operational along with another one of her sisters and hopefully some wagons to lay ballast on the layout. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 082 is back after a two year absense. It donated its chassis too 112 for the passed two years. 112 has the old 2+1 marker lights whereas 082 had the 2+2 LED clusters which meant the marker lights on 112 didn't work after the swap. I since asmcquired an 071 very cheap with the 2+1 marker lights. This chassis is now under 112 and 082 now has its own chassis back. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 So I got the airbrush out for the first time and weathered the track. No where near a perfect result and it started a load of extra work to tidy up ballast but it was a learning experience. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
