DJ Dangerous Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sorry if this has been answered already. I have skimmed through the thread and can't find the answer. What are the boxed and unboxed weights of the locos, including the special edition? What size are both regular and special edition packages? Thank you!

Noel Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 1 hour ago, amdaley said: Minor detail Well done that man. Not there any more though. Still trying to find a decoder for it Fortunately I've a few Silverfox C class kits running on MM 141 donor chassis, and they run like swiss watches. There was no way I was going to put a Hornby rail road plastic donor chassis under them. Minimal surgery needed to the MM, just remove the body and cutaway about 4mm of each end of the metal chassis and it fits like a glove, and runs like a pearl. Fortunately I picked up the donors about 5 years ago for about €80each before these beautiful bachman/MM baby GMs went through the roof on eBay in recent years. Its inevitable some time that these will be re-run just as MM 071s in NIR and Grey livery will get re-run in time. What's the rush? Isn't this a life long hobby. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 While it’s not easy to make out, the first two carriages illustrate perfectly why I’m always banging on about at least one RTR older wooden coach to go with not just early diesels, but 141s and even 181s too - the last wooden bodied coaches lasted WELL into the black’n’tan era, though in the above picture, obviously all carriages are green and will be for some time. The coach behind the loco is a wooden flat-roofed one, way off its GSWR home turf, and built between 1900 and about 1912. Next, a Park Royal. Gawd knows what the rest of the train is made up of….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
