Made a bit of progress on the headcodes which now glow in the dark. Fibre optic runs are in place and the lighting tubes made ready to install...... but its a weekend off this weekend to support the Huddersfield Railway Modellers 2011 Exhibition in Holmfirth Sat / Sun 10 'til 5. I'll be taking my DCC'd locos along for display, but "Lydgate" will be running steam all weekend with year (unless I can prise 'em off for a while on Sat afternoon!)

Nice one Ian. Would it be poss for you to draw or pics of how you do your fibre optic lighting in your wessies. This is something that i want to install in Buccaneer.

Rob

 

[welshwizard]

Looks super Ian.

 

[Phill Dyson]

Seconded!! That loco really does look good!

*thinks* ...... maroon.... EWS (a.k.a. Wisconsin Central) engines were maroon, with a gold band... wonder what a Western would look like in EWS livery.....

.... then again, maybe not.......

Well I'm with you as far as "That loco really looks good"

Rob

Yes I would be most interested in that aspect too

 

[D1054]

No problem at all, gents. But first I am going to make a short video of the Howes and SWD soundcards as fitted to D1054 and D1016 respectively for Cynric, et al. I've finished touching up Mr Manton's already excellent paint job on D1016 (a couple of inadvertant scratches by the owner..... oops!), and she's ready for a test run down at Longroyd tomorrow evening. So, I'll be taking the camera and video along and will post the results over the next couple of days.... then we can have a vote on which you think is best...... I have my own opinion having run up the relatively new '52 (D1013 recording) from SWD, but I'll let you make up your own minds Perhaps a vote is called for?

 

[lancer1027]

Hi Ian,
Exellent mate i look forward to both the fibre optic plans/pics etc and the voting on the sound

Rob PS i love WESSIES
