Now the TPM chassis is one thing I have NEVER seen, so would be interested in that. Ref the varnishing: I used Microscale "MicroSatin", slightly diluted and simply brushed on the entire model. It is remarkably forgiving and dries totally clear. Skyline2uk #14

You've made a good job of that. I might finish mine one day which is powered by the TPM MUMU (Multiple Unit Motorising Unit). What puts me off are the transfers and how to keep the windows clear after varnishing. Cheers Paul #15

Well it seems that today is the day! So here is the result of a project that has been ongoing for some time. A few years ago I found a complete unopened set of TPM parts on eBay and jumped on them. After a good few months of (not continuous obviously) work, last night I sealed the last decal. So here is my set "Inspired" by 442402. As far as I know it includes all the parts TPM ever made available for the set, including roof vents, dummy couplings, etched yaw dampers (marked as CJM incidentally) and pickup shoes. I have watched a (very good) video on YouTube covering the 442s more time that I care to remember. What on the surface is a relatively simple conversation of old Farish MK3 stock contains all sorts of pitfalls with toilet locations, pickup shoe bogies and yaw damper orientation. The set is powered using the previous tooling (China built) 158 chassis which is almost ideal, except the bogie moulding dampers are the wrong way round for the 442 ![]() ![]() ??![]() ![]() Skyline2uk #16
General Discussion / Re: The angry threadLast post by thebrighton - Yesterday at 02:27:22 PMOn Wednesday into Thursday Eastbourne had it's first rain for nearly 2 months. So what happens?
Southern Water cannot cope with the rain so has to pump raw sewage into the sea from their Eastbourne works for 8 hours! All the local beaches packed with holiday makers are now unsafe to bathe in. Words cannot describe my feelings on the matter. #17

N Gauge Discussion / Clearing out some coaching sto...Last post by Southerngooner - August 20, 2026, 05:08:04 PMHi
I've listed some coaches that are surplus to my requirements on the Classified section. There are two Bulleid brakes in BR (SR) Green, two Mk1 BSKs in green and a Mk1 CK in crimson and cream. All are £20 each plus postage, so why not take a look! Dave #19
