Big Update

Been awhile since my last update, so pardon me if this one is a bit long.
First off the class 20 conversion is well underway, the original loco has been stripped and had new fuel tanks, lights and mu sockets fitted

External Fuel tanks mk1, I have slightly redone them since the above picture was taken for a better fit.

Bath time! Class 20 goes for a dip in Precision Paints paint stripper

Stripped loco with test fit fuel tanks


Fuel tanks glued on sporting mainly trains rivet strip along the bottom
Wipac Lights fitted on both ends along with MU (multiple unit) sockets
I have also added to my tunnel by spraying the ends grey (mixture of railmatch rail grey and humbrol dirty black) before adding smoke marks where locomotives would pass under. (Not pictured but will add later)

I have also started the process of adding people to my pullman coaches (mainly by taking two apart).
The figures will be purchased in the next few weeks.

Devon Belle Observation Car an The New Century bar car with bodies removed.
Will the pullman coaches I am also tempted to remove their current capacitors (220uf) and replace them with higher capacity ones perhaps around the 500 mark to remove the flickering that happens on some of them.

All for now

Happy Modelling
