Postman Prat Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi Fazy I wouldn't expect to find the ROD on the Midland line. I'd expect them to be common on the GC line through Leicester as it was a major class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just bought 3 ICI methanol tankers to compliment 4 I already have. That makes a nice train of 7 with two barrier wagons and a guards brake van. I love tanker wagons and sadly parted with about 15 HD metal ones some time ago. Has anyone built the ex Aifix/Dapol tankers recently as I am considering getting a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I have built a lot of the Airfix 22 ton tankers over the years although recently I have tended to butcher them to make other vehicles (six weedkiller water wagons and an anchor mounted class B being the most recent.). They are not difficult to build but would benefit from brass axle bearings (Romford), pin-point axle metal wheels and a little bit of ballast weight.

96RAF Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 From memory my Dapol kit came with plastic and metal wheelsets.It was still a lightweight though and I filled the tank with some old nuts that were exactly the right hex size to fit the inside diameter of the tank.Its a poor runner even so so stays parked up in the oiler yard area.

Fazy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi pp yes but I think I will turn it into a standard 04 2-8-0. which I'm sure I have a picture of one at Leicester 15C. I'll have to have a good look for it. Along with a V2 and K1 and prity sure some B1's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Good to see you back on here SoT. I prefer Connie and Nellie in blue, the yellow always looked somewhat strange. However a nice find all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordonvale Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 @LC&DR That looks like a paint job on the Roco 04111C BR80, one of my favourite shunters. http://www.ebay.com.au/p/roco-04114-c-br-80-steam-engine-ex-db-now-ns-green-livery-boxed/1629916802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81F Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 /media/tinymce_upload/a7a5aee27844ed3acdca7db985b93d88.jpgSome HMRS LMS Methfix transfers to back-date my original G2A. I ordered these by mistake thinking they were pressfix. But rather than try to send them back I bought a bottle of meths and am quite pleased with the result. I had damaged the tender coal rails so had o replace them, when spraying the coal rails the masking tape fell off and I oversprayed the tender so had to repaint that. I also damaged the cab grab rails and broke the whistle off so hd to repaint the cab and relace the whistle. The latter being Hornby from an old 101 body! As I bet my usual acrylic varnish will bloom, I'll probably use one of my rare Humbrol Enmel sprays if the weather is OK tomorrow - err later today! Oh just notied the tender is wrong!http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/lnwrrm1053.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
