RMweb Premium Doncaster Green Posted September 11 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11 I have just converted a Dapol Class 121 to 2mmFS using the replacement wheels available from Shop 3. After testing everything appears good; no sign of imminent derailing through 2fs points and good steady running. A start has been made on fitting the extra buffer beam detailing parts after removing the 'orrible' N gauge couplings and trimming off the coupling box. All well so far, but I have now hit a problem and need to ask what may be a very silly question. How do I fix the destination blinds? There is no information in the user guide and I can find nothing anywhere online. Any help would be much appreciated. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that they are printed/painted overlays to be inserted into the frames? If so, than I'd be inclined to fix them in using a dab of dull varnish as a glue - any overspill will be less visible than most actual glues and it should stick them down well. I do this for fixing nameplates. If they are plastic, not paper or card, and there is a selection in the pack then Tackywax could be a good alternative since you'd then have the option of removing them and ringing the changes.

Thanks for that. Doing more digging I discovered they appear to have a backing of a water activated adhesive. After a little trimming to fit they have been fixed in place and the job appears a 'good 'un', time will tell! John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger.s Posted Monday at 15:44 Share Posted Monday at 15:44 I am attempting to put lighting into an EMU. Can anyone suggest suitable connectors to carry the power from car to car. I want 4 circuits between cars and the available space is very limited. Regards Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at my parent's in France at the moment - Dad has a copy of Essery & Jenkinson's LMS Coaches, so I can photo and send the relevant pages if needed.

RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted Tuesday at 23:15 RMweb Premium Share Posted Tuesday at 23:15 Thanks Nigel, I’ll dig out the Essery book and see what’s what. It’s definitely been in there a good few years - no trace of the witch but the lion had to make space for the lockdown unitrack… Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
