First class job Building one as an electric loco, Only think i've found is the roof is a bit of a pig!


Have I gotten the wrong end of the stick here with Doug's model? He talks about installing a Class 37 sound system and then the loco has exhaust stacks - surely he built it as a diesel?

              Lookin' good, Doug   Cool Dude  I remember this project starting back on the madders site. Almost seems a shame to cover all those rivets with paint though.

                  Windows and false backs installed in the engine compartment. UHU glue used to stick the windows in place, doesn't mist the windows, but leaves stringy trails all over the place:

                      Such a tight fit, i'll have to come up with a new way to attach the body and roof. I was going to attach the body to the roof and have it as a single removeable unit, but now need to be able to remove the roof seperately.

                                        The sound is great too - having fitted the windows, it has alot more bass, can't really tell where it is coming from - out through a hole under one of the cabs.
