What to
expect |
Our models
will come to you in individual coach size presentation boxes where
appropriate. The models
come complete and ready to run, to your
specifications. They come
with standard hook and bar couplings though-out, interiors and glazing. We
will fit windscreen wipers to driving cabs as required. We try to
follow the prototype as close as possible. Our models
are generally multi-media models consisting of injection moulded plastic,
high quality resin parts, white metal and etched
brass. Because of this construction we suggest that our models are used and
stored in conditions that are generally room temperature. |
|
Motors |
Our
standard motor fit is a brand new Hornby motor
(usually out of their Class 73, Class 153 or similar, but this may change
depending what is available as spares). The motor
is fitted within the model as discreetly as possible, usually within the
brake van area. The motor comes with pick-ups on all four wheels
and we also fit pick-ups on all four wheels of the trailing bogie as well to
enhance performance. We can fit
an alternative motor choice, as desired by the client, please contact us for
details and a quote. |
|
DCC
Control |
All of our motorised models come “DCC ready” and fitted with a
blanking plate to the chip socket. If required, a chip can be fitted at a later date, externally without requiring the opening
of the body of the motor coach. The only exception to this is the Plasser & Thuerer Tamper.
The model is so small that the only real option is to hardwire the chip to
the motor. We can
supply and fit a standard DCC chip during construction, if required. We can
also fit a supplied sound chip to our models if desired. |
|
Body
Finish |
Our models
come with door handles and grab rails fitted to the passenger doors and
handrails to service doors as prototypical. We provide
sole plate foot boards as prototypical to the unit being modelled. We do
extensive research on underframe details to our models and have represented
them as accurately as possible. We have
found that the best way to supply our models is with the body fixed to the
chassis. This means that access to the interiors is possible, but not simple. |
|
Client
Choices |
Apart from
the obvious choice of colour schemes, because our models are built
individually to order, there is a wide range of options the client can
choose. These include :- Unit
Number and coach numbers Destination
Blind Wording (Including made up names) Headcodes We can
also offer alternative motor choices, DCC chip provision, as well as sound
chip fitting. Unfortunately,
at present, we cannot offer lighting to our units |
|
Weathering |
We offer a
weathering service to our models. Usually this is a light application of
dirt, but we can weather to a photograph if desired. |
