    Another project that's been under the bench for some time. Somehow managed to end up with two Bachmann class 44 body shells and one chassis!!
    This time converting a standard class 44 (1 - 8) into 44009 with the different side grilles and the odd one of the lot because it has discs at one end and route indicator box at the other end!!
    Side grilles discs and handrails purchased from Shawplan - Extreme Etchings

    Good going and well done! Seeing the job though can be the hardest thing to do some times. I had a few projects I simply abandoned as my interests changed in the year or so that the project had stalled. . It was a waste of money so now I have a golden rule. No more than three projects on the go at any one time.

    Incredible amount of work into that unique loco. Nice fading and bogie colours.
    Enthralling.

    Dare I say would have loved it to have turned out pre-tops in green.
    Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks.

      @@Wallsrail Hello Budd .
      When I was watching your extremely well narrated demo vids. I couldn't help reading between the lines, (Pardon the Pun) and thinking this guy's one of us.
      After all who would have the confidence to hack up a perfectly good and sometimes expensive model, except one to correct those that do not take such
      passion in our dailies dare😉 I say .
      Back to Green.
      Green was my favourite era although we did a lot with Blue and dreadful Yellow😎, and Silver with go faster Red stripes, (never caught on with me ).
      You like dags. We like dags to. loved the nail trimming sketch 😆to .
      Thanks also for the info on the Super Detailing Kits as I have a lot more time on my hands now , I am rekindling my passion for modelling.
      Kind regards,
      Sandhole'r/NH/PN.
      P.S. Naturally Keep up the good work👨‍✈️ really interesting

      The first cut won't hurt at all (Line from a Propagandar song - Duel) ruclips.net/video/nnQ2zOmb6Hg/видео.html
      The desire to create something different has never prevented me from taking a knife to a perfectly good model or kit!!
      Sometimes with disastrous results!!
      I'm guessing you're just a few years my senior? Blue was the dominant colour on the Railway when I was growing up, and therefore my main interest, as green is yours.
      A few oddities coming soon......
      Thanks NW

    Having just discovered your channel a few days ago I like the look of the JLC saw you use in these videos. Did you buy it from the UK? All I can find is direct from the Czech Republic through eBay.

    Nice model. A lot of intricate work went into that. Which contact adhesive are you using?, if you don't mind me asking.

    • @Wallsrail
      @Wallsrail  4 года назад

      Araldite or its new name Diall is my go to 2 part epoxy resin glue. Unibond or whatever B&Q are selling is the contact adhesive I use. Various different types over the years, they all seem to do the job.
      I sometimes use UHU or other gummy glues for other non permanent stuff.
