I think the Colonel has some waste oil and powders as well for the weathering

You could also turn the table upside down add some Big Big Wheels and Bogies, hey presto you have a passenger coachnad then get pissed watching SWIMBO throwing your ride on locomotive in the biggest skip you can find

Mr Peacock will you finish those 7mm coaches off please as all this bigger stuff is making me see in black and red

 

[rosspeacock]

Hi Ross

Nice one!

I think that an 'O' gauge version is also available

Looking forward to the photos

Hi Martin, yes there is one in O its a superb model made by Marklin about 3 times the price too I think..
Been looking into Gauge 64 (spur2) which is what It should be running on for standard gauge not 45mm as it is at the mo. Could end up very expensive ha ha

Hi all done some work today on flushglazing on the V200.
Cut the windows roughly with the dremel then fettled them to fit.. Glued the louvre windows in with MEK but not sure what to use for the others.. Filed all the chamfered edges on the window frames then painted the exposed edges black.

Nice work on the flush glazing

Basically all the models are 22.5 scale, if they run on G track this is 45mm which equates to just over 3'
Gauge 3 is the old UK 22.5 scale and runs on 63.5/64mm track (see Cliff Barkers webpage)
Zi Germans however call it spur2 which is the same
as our G3 but they use LGB flat bottom rail which
is inserted into flexi track style sleeper sections.
There is a fantastic video on YouTube of a Spur2 layout. Not sure how you do links though??
