So moved cantrail lower, modern OHLE flashes in correct places, smaller cabside numbers plus the 714 on the nose ends, moved position of blue stars, solebar labels, checkerplate kickplates, yellow axle boxes, red springs. Added the HTG headboard too! Good to know, this is the loco where the soundfile came from too... Nice to see someone doing some modelling on the Accurascale sub-forum! 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cairnsroadworks Posted July 29 Popular Post Share Posted July 29 Decided to have a bit of fun with one of the split box beasts. I got some lovely 3D printed door noses and a clever person helped make the headlights work. And thanks to Tim of this parish for the reinforced style windscreens. Just need to fit some frost grilles and it’s done. 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted July 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30 With all the following the tractor has I’m still surprised no one has done a EMD engine and generator swop into one of them to perk one up 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement with additional strengthening required probably would negatively affect that key trait that I think has been a key reason for it's longevity. If we just need a modernised diesel for freight there's plenty of 60's to go at. 93's/99's are likely to free up some more 66's and there's a lot of spare 68's now TPE has gone as well. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph1050 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Hi good people, so I am a happy owner of HN Rail 37405 and want to add the full buffer beam detail but Im not sure where all the different coloured pipes go.

They are in transit and due in about a week. If you got a P class invoice it would not have been a payment demand or it would have been in error tho they are also due in about 6-7 weeks. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black and decker boy Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) On 20/07/2024 at 22:49, nightstar.train said: I have received and been testing my 37405. What a glorious engine, although it does rather make the eyes bleed if you look at it for too long! Have the HNRC 37s ever been used on Network Rail test trains? I was thinking of adding a push/pull mode so only the lights on one end work, but I won't bother if it doesn't work with NR trains. A quick squizz around on Flickr doesn't show it running with test trains. You’ll be pleased to hear 37405 has been on IM test train workings this week and photos are appearing on WNXX and Flickr such as this one: Edited August 10 by black and decker boy Typo 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also ironic that you couldn’t get a shot of the whole train because of the lineside vegetation blocking the view! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
