MRDBLUE17 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Kevin, Very nice modelling indeed. I like the use of the LEDs on the vehicles. I have experimented with a Dapol light bar inside a bus which has worked well but not tackled the head/tail lights yet but you have provided some good ideas. Thanks Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Many thanks for your comments guys, It is nice to think my stuff may encourage others, also if I did not model the sectorisation period then the 60's,70's would "be my bag" with a fetish for the diesel hydraulics. Hornby Class 08094 shows of its new lights. As we know road vehicles are a bit scarce for the mid 80's to mid 90's period but the VW T25s fit the bill and make a nice load for the Electroten vehicle carriers, (Pst.. want to buy some second hand Renault Traffic vans which came with the wagons originally). And as for the next exhibition The New Forest Show at Brockenhurst on the bank holiday weekend at the end of this month, wont be long now. Cheerio for now.

P.C.M Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Kevin, The VWs look great sat on your wagons, the 08 looks good too, but I think they normally showed one red one white each end when shunting. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter. Hi Pete, Here is 08954 again (got the number right this time)is this as it should be, To be honest I have seen many 08's in my travels, but I cannot honestly recall taking much notice of the lights even if they were on or off, I have noticed they had more than two each end but that is as far as it goes, the main reason I like lights on everything is that with DCC it is easy to see which way the loco is going to head off in when applying power, many thanks to you Pete. Regards, Kevin. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Spot on Kevin, From memory 08s had a small switch under each light so had to be turned on and off manually I can't remember how but the red lens could be moved to show whites, there was only a small globe so were never very bright, so if they were lft on during the day you probably wouldn't see them. The lights on the tamper look great too. I am still sending locos the wrong way, I try and remember that fan end is forwards. Having lights certainly helps. Cheers Peter.

Beresford Junction Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 And as for the next exhibition The New Forest Show at Brockenhurst on the bank holiday weekend at the end of this month, wont be long now. Kevin. Ah yes, I need to come and do some route learning on Leaford in preparation for the show. All the lights and VW vans are looking great. See you on Thursday.

Hampshire Hog Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Excellent Gronky chap, can't beat a good two tone grey shunter:) Yes, this Hornby 08 started life as 0866 "Europa" in the international livery, I repainted the blue roof with Railmatch 246 Falcon Grey and gently removed the "distribution" and other markings and replaced with the markings of my favoured loco, also as a matter of interest this loco does not come fitted with lights but it is fitted with the standard Loksound V4 Soundchip which is fitted with all the connections you need for the lights to be fitted if you wish, it is a case of attaching wires appropriately. Many thanks David your interest is appreciated, I look forward to seeing you Phil a little later this evening. Thanks again Pete for your supreme knowledge of the prototype. To finish off with a little more automotive interest, see you at Brockenhurst If I don't see you before. Bye for now. Kevin 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Looking good, can I ask where the auto racks come from? Regards Scott Thanks guys, Britfarmer (Scott) the auto racks are modified cut and shut based on the Hornby (Cartic 2) ones from nineteen hundred and frozen to death, because of that I suspect they must still be available hybridangel77 said "The lights on the 08 look very realistic.i may have to add lights to my fleet of 08's now.god not another job to add to my never ending list of ongoing work, where does it all end,lol. Terry" I know the feeling Terry, I have just realised that I have to put brass pin-point bearings in all of my older stock because of a new project, but what would we do with ourselves if the layouts we are building got finished? Rolling Stones take a breather. Well they are getting on a bit. See you at Brockenhurst please see map above (courtesy of Scott aka Pitbull, cheers Scott) Kevin. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
