[mike]

well todays turn out a loverly winters day.. so 1st up was the new lgb coff shunter, track was wet, uncleaned since er... august? .. and it ran at speed step 4.. never missed a beat, over the lgb /trainline points, which so far, have been faultless.. unlike the piko ones

 

[mike]

while the little coff was warming up/. .i did a bit more to the pendelbury model building..
a new advertiseng bord was cut out from scap plasticard.. and glued in place, the garage doors, took some pondering.. the buildings not really deep enought to do inside bit.. and ifi did the doors open.. needly i tride both options, roller, side concertining doors, but setteled on a nice woodedn set.. they are only in the 1st coat off paint, so not a good colour yet..glazzing the windows was started.. window frames given a nother coat off white..

 

[mike]

[mike]

thanks guys, its nice to be able to do stuff..

 

[mike]

not ignourances gorden, just a question..
the yellow coff is narrow gauged (single buffer)
the red coff is aperntly modifiyed standard gauge to narrow gauge, so has twin buffers
both models are completly differnt up close, the buffers are NOT interchangable.. same as with the v200.... both version off the coff share the weigft, chip, and motor block.. and may be some small cab intreuria details.. but the rest is quitely differnt..
