Great job on the 442 looks fantastic

The 442 in nse livery just looks so good, did you ever go on the real life 442?

Very kind of you to say, I always liked the "White" style of NSE livery on the DMUs / EMUs of the time.

Sadly I never did go on the 442s myself, but witnessed many of them at full tilt as well as leaving and arriving at Waterloo.

That's good to know, but also sad as all TPM stuff is becoming very scarce indeed.

A real loss to the hobby when (as I understand it and would happily be corrected) the business did not come back after a move.

That's very interesting, how does it run?

I note a DCC conversation as well?

Hi

They run very well but are very difficult to get hold of these days. Very easy to convert to DCC.

Cheers

Cheers mate!

Yeah it's been "on my list" for as long as I have been kicking around here

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.

Paul

Thank you Paul.

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.
