Tried something a bit different this week! Did you enjoy it or prefer my modelling videos?

[@scalerailmodelling2846]

Good video 👍 I agree with a lot of the points, manufacturers that give us a canvas for modifying/personalising will always do well One huge bug bear for me is when you get 3d printed bodies that have a specific loco nameplate printed as part of the body…they’re not as good as the plates from LRS

[@heaptoncollierymodelrailwa6011]

Yeee exactly for me that’s the most fun! I agree! The only one I do is the 1361 which has a number plate! That’s not too bad as it was fictional but annoying to change!

Love the case study approach

Hello oliver I hope you are well Yes for me flicking firebox sprung buffers pre fitted speakers are pointless to me buffers yes metal. I feel we are having detail for the sake of detail on locos and rolling. You know my feelings on the subject Keep safe ARP

[@heaptoncollierymodelrailwa6011]

Metal buffers are a good way of showing quality! Thanks for watching!

[@unanimousowlcouncil7377]

couldnt agree more about sprung buffers, its completely pointless, the forces involved in 00 are so small that they will NEVER compress unless its someones finger pushing it, same goes for firebox glow and opening smokebox door

Exactly just seems a bit naff to me!
