Re: IP Penrhyn Quarrymans
I am trying to decide whether to leave the coach in undercoat grey or paint it red. I might run it in undercoat for a while and then repaint it. Hello The correct colour is Brinjal which is the name of a Indian chutney. I bought mine as a acrylic from the paint manufacturer Farrow and Ball. Our lo...

Re: Accucraft Edrig Radio Control
I see on the frames under the footplate there is a cut out for a switch, so I guess the receiver would live? Rob Rob, my S/H Edrig came with a retro fitted R/C on the regulator. I added my own R/C to the reverser. The switch and batteries go under the cab, as you mention. The reverser servo goes i...

7/8" scale G.V.T rolling stock
Hello all I seem to be more and more drawn to modeling in 7/8" scale. "Don't be seduced by the dark side, Luke!" Attached image shows on the left my new coach I am building , whilst on the right hand side is a 16mm scale coach I am also building. Trouble is that I tend to dabble in to...

Seriously though I spoke to a friend whilst running an engine at Elsecar and admired his new Roundhouse engine; to which he replied that he had built using parts from his bits box. This started me thinking and I reckoned that I...
