Yes, I've looked at that.  Its why I'm asking for a conversion kit.

Hi

Plasticard and filler would be the way I would go.

Cheers

I am in agreement with the previous two posts, I really like my rake of 10.

Not quite scale length but I have seen a few videos of 47s with intermodal sets on Western metals in the 90s with "shorter" rakes, so I am not too far off.

Thanks very much C-Rail.

Lovely models   which my photo doesn't do justice. Certainly worthy of running empty to show off the fine detail around the spine. 

Mine arrived today aswell and agree they are lovely models. The voucher was a nice touch as well as I'm gonna need a whole bunch of containers 

The GF class 108 DMU has the destination box on the roof.
The 108 I remember has a 4 digit head code box on the roof and the destination in the middle window.
Does anyone know where I can get a conversion kit so my 108 has the 4 digit head code box on the roof please?
Thanks Gary

Class 66 is more widespread than the 59, but you might find the 59 easier to get hold of. Some Revolution stockists have already sold out of DC and DCC sound fitted EWS class 66.

Hi Scott,

As others have said the internals are largely the same, though of course there are numerous cosmetic differences.  Plus the PCBs have minor variations due to the differing arrangement of lights in the 66.

Also, if it's EWS you're after, remember that the 59s received the 'standard' EWS livery with a straight buff line, whereas the 66s arrived with the zig-zag version. 

cheers

374-901 (W80300) & 374-901A (W80301) had working lights.  The last release, 374-901B (SC80315) came without, as appears will be the case for the latest 'C' revision.

I picked up some spares of the first two with the working lights, and swapped the chassis with the PCB for the chassis without the PCB, so I could have all numbers  with working lights.  I also therefore have a few I can run without the lights.  I might do the same again with the new version.

It does seem a strange choice; I can't remember what the pickup arrangement is, but the only other difference is the PCB with a few components and the LEDs on it.  I can't imagine the cost is that significant, but I can only assume that's the rationale for not including it.

At least the last release did have the orange lenses in the bodyside, so it was possible to do the chassis swap.  Hopefully the new one will be just the same.

I have ½ a dozen of the 374-901 with lights that do work.
 
Would it have been so difficult for the sorting van to have working lights or did Farish suffer with issues I'm unaware of?
