My aim is to Model the North Coast of NSW near where I live so my rollingstock is based around this. I have named this Blog after Killawarra which is one of my favourite locations and perhaps one day I may model this area. Anyway I hope that I may inspire others with what I do.

I purchased pack ALGX-05 which is described as a Mid 70's-Mid 80's Pack. It contains 3 models Numbered ALGX35F, ALGX91G and ALGX131V at the cost of $240.00. The reason I chose this pack is that it contains a number from all 3 series of Vans. On Track Models states that there are only 2 series of these Vans, though from my research I have identified 3 variants. I will go into more detail as I go.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">ALGX35F</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg04ZianjoTJCjqtFyaUlvFWqj4_Zjqgem47N33FQBSgyfNw2oqdaIrZJgDe11nLF59VKmpMkAT4PelcoDkRFgEg-WK_qWtkh7K0bqAHXIHKQcAYLQhPwh61zPlRwV0-wO5ovuI-3uNT-I0RpvPtNICXdyXDwYhmRcfKhR3gs1XZNBaB3F6cytKCYiwagXr/s1200/_IMG3048.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="1200" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg04ZianjoTJCjqtFyaUlvFWqj4_Zjqgem47N33FQBSgyfNw2oqdaIrZJgDe11nLF59VKmpMkAT4PelcoDkRFgEg-WK_qWtkh7K0bqAHXIHKQcAYLQhPwh61zPlRwV0-wO5ovuI-3uNT-I0RpvPtNICXdyXDwYhmRcfKhR3gs1XZNBaB3F6cytKCYiwagXr/w542-h276/_IMG3048.JPG" width="542" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmnpYHik3Pex5U7C1UsRK19GcE8xdIDjhveYkYXVg-BfZcOf0dvXrFpVGtxtqPv9_WiGc3jZD2yrqoa0r0vFtTa0_PmIReXYh0Mje8GCcE-KtuYvgg1JHRCgxYOcpfTfNGlHZRxLjOiV_f-VLqxGt4fwUt0ob3p4Kn3zQTlc78gXZQpryvElntMSaqjt3j/s1806/6333434465_5e6f8a5708_o.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1806" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmnpYHik3Pex5U7C1UsRK19GcE8xdIDjhveYkYXVg-BfZcOf0dvXrFpVGtxtqPv9_WiGc3jZD2yrqoa0r0vFtTa0_PmIReXYh0Mje8GCcE-KtuYvgg1JHRCgxYOcpfTfNGlHZRxLjOiV_f-VLqxGt4fwUt0ob3p4Kn3zQTlc78gXZQpryvElntMSaqjt3j/w544-h360/6333434465_5e6f8a5708_o.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Norm Bray Photograph</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">First of all, ALGX35F. All I can say is that On Track Models have nailed this Model. I really cannot fault this model. I have fitted mine with Bogies that better match Norm's Photo above. I will use this photo to weather my model. This represents the first series of Vans numbering from 1-57. These had the Pressed ends. The brake equipment arrangement was completely reversed from the other series of these vans with an upside-down Rachet Brake Handle on what you could call the long end of the Van. The end with 3 sets of Louvred Panels. OTM's have also done a real nice job on the Roof, with 13 Riveted Panels which is correct for the first 57 vans.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In years past Trainorama produced this First version of Van but the Brake Handle was on the short end and there were only 8 welded roof panels modeled.

I have always used AR Kits Bogies and some SEM Bogies due to the conformity. But now I mostly look at the range from SDS Models as they have taken conformity to a new level with their range. The thickness of the bogies, Axle Length, Bolster height and brake detail is uniform across the range just like the basic old AR Kits Bogies. For this reason, I don't usually keep bogies from any of the other Manufacturers like Auscision or OTM's. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ALGX91G</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Qz-bN-Wvuex3HKTsEY_ICvh4eJeaIzcFV-PlHyxuT8pyM8HBzxxV-JU847n3nnn659FPKVO_GqB2mLFhPxOHx20XppTRzricMxZMFjOK8c7-G3-NGhmAYGECLf_tOq92VnPhSF5Wz1GSbvPltKcRETM-5VM0zcf_p0iK2uE4dFBJ5OL6-Fn67lgjZT11/s1200/_IMG3049.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="1200" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Qz-bN-Wvuex3HKTsEY_ICvh4eJeaIzcFV-PlHyxuT8pyM8HBzxxV-JU847n3nnn659FPKVO_GqB2mLFhPxOHx20XppTRzricMxZMFjOK8c7-G3-NGhmAYGECLf_tOq92VnPhSF5Wz1GSbvPltKcRETM-5VM0zcf_p0iK2uE4dFBJ5OL6-Fn67lgjZT11/w569-h308/_IMG3049.JPG" width="569" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My thoughts on this Van that is numbered in the second series of Van is that it is pretty good. All the equipment appears to be placed as it should be. Detail is excellent with all the latest refinements such as Wire Grabs and metal steps. Paintwork is good. Only issue with this model is that they have used the same roof as on the first version. In reality this Varient only has 8 Riveted roof panels. This is something that Trainorama got right with their model years ago. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQC-nCBYOETop698h157CUj_1BTW3x9KUh2BnttsqiMPWHQNQOuRBPk42bWErIu0aycgD7fVpncD-J8Tw0OuNKj0v_kq89b_tFf2FF_SM0-3FOqHSdd_b1IobrR3Gp6q6b0hca-uG0IWU_luw-Pq4zAmSu0A7JDnJt4EwTPg47IxCwYtnZ5v_d-JCaDwEc/s1200/_IMG3063.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="1200" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQC-nCBYOETop698h157CUj_1BTW3x9KUh2BnttsqiMPWHQNQOuRBPk42bWErIu0aycgD7fVpncD-J8Tw0OuNKj0v_kq89b_tFf2FF_SM0-3FOqHSdd_b1IobrR3Gp6q6b0hca-uG0IWU_luw-Pq4zAmSu0A7JDnJt4EwTPg47IxCwYtnZ5v_d-JCaDwEc/w474-h228/_IMG3063.JPG" width="474" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Trainorama's representation of the 2nd series Van with 8 welded roof panels instead of riveted panels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKpD483vxdBRl8DvPnTYywUxsBKyWEE38Wg9qK8d2qHDGwGZlX_CSkIrOW8ywDL27j__n0qWhOYkAgSaHw1ywUGiBMDKxHTBgz9fJ9vQFlwt7E8I7JtVAarFtIkG5v56pBXjdklThVTMYY9Kz_eCE-t6PrLXxFhiOZAa7vA4eXoxDdoYrdxCqqW0QRPxH/s1792/8329398206_693076baa7_o.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1792" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnKpD483vxdBRl8DvPnTYywUxsBKyWEE38Wg9qK8d2qHDGwGZlX_CSkIrOW8ywDL27j__n0qWhOYkAgSaHw1ywUGiBMDKxHTBgz9fJ9vQFlwt7E8I7JtVAarFtIkG5v56pBXjdklThVTMYY9Kz_eCE-t6PrLXxFhiOZAa7vA4eXoxDdoYrdxCqqW0QRPxH/w496-h332/8329398206_693076baa7_o.jpg" width="496" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Norm Bray Photograph</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photo shows clearly the 8 roof riveted roof panels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everything else appears to be in order with this model.

OTM's have provided this model with the same detail as the second series of Van. In Reality these Vans are very different. I am not sure at what number the second series ends and the 3rd series start. From Photos that I have studied, the earliest 3rd series Van I have noted is 129. So at least 129 to 157 are 3rd series. If I was to guess I would say they made 50 of each, but I really don't know?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is different?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The roof is the main difference. It has 11 roof panels like the VLCX. They also maybe welded on and not riveted, but I am not sure. I believe this because the roof has no over-hangs like the other series vans. These have a Brake Wheel on the end instead of a Rachet Handle. The Brake equipment is set out a little differently as well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsrJNAwc8-ITOUYadHcXkrYjEnHNc9FK19GnEjWT5f6vGBFV8laeGPs2gaK9O5__GTngaI8uDpy0JXC25wprPDRouinR4YZKnC55-6FfjQKo50zFwOxSnsyYROii5cULHQAYtc7BWx6cYpIt8InmwwNoqRkoCWUFKqEN11IPJaXZ5zSlLTrrzpMgQSUknY/s800/ALGX135.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="800" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsrJNAwc8-ITOUYadHcXkrYjEnHNc9FK19GnEjWT5f6vGBFV8laeGPs2gaK9O5__GTngaI8uDpy0JXC25wprPDRouinR4YZKnC55-6FfjQKo50zFwOxSnsyYROii5cULHQAYtc7BWx6cYpIt8InmwwNoqRkoCWUFKqEN11IPJaXZ5zSlLTrrzpMgQSUknY/w484-h325/ALGX135.jpg" width="484" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Norm Bray Photograph of ALGX135</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please not the Brake Wheel and no Over-Hangs on the roof.

On the inside it is all set out to support the 13 panels.

OTM's didn't include any of these in their latest run of their Victorian Vans.

Interior detail with the opening doors is great. The underfloor detail is done well. The fussy Modelers out there would of like some more pipe work but there are always limiting factors such as cost. I would imagine that producing 3 different roofs would of blown out the cost. But if you want to do something extra to make these models stand out, there can be some modeling to be had.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As this is a Louvre Van that I have researched for my own benefit to detail up the Trainorama Model, I thought it would be a good idea to share my knowledge on this subject. These Vans were common up the North Coast Line in the 80's. The early 90's they were a little harder to find. I will not be continuing with the detailing of my Trainorama Models and these are a fine replacement and will work in well on my layout. <br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpxDpi7XDnzd-5d3aWo5HzV3VdmDM8KqWJcPeYTwB1UWRhag4KXzTKhY-0H6R5qJVbLBFtASAhCKwnjpSPnlFKy7HeQ5NsNiqezqFHOt6KzjlWyNKb8zX2OJhcx1vkLH2kCkclDdceR5tH2AYuw8nBVrDjvFDT2mb1BE1jn7oYmbOvGILS0W4zWMTDKzM/s718/3507%20No%206382%20Wingham%20Sat%2019-10-91.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="718" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpxDpi7XDnzd-5d3aWo5HzV3VdmDM8KqWJcPeYTwB1UWRhag4KXzTKhY-0H6R5qJVbLBFtASAhCKwnjpSPnlFKy7HeQ5NsNiqezqFHOt6KzjlWyNKb8zX2OJhcx1vkLH2kCkclDdceR5tH2AYuw8nBVrDjvFDT2mb1BE1jn7oYmbOvGILS0W4zWMTDKzM/s320/3507%20No%206382%20Wingham%20Sat%2019-10-91.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">David Porter Photo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Thanks Justin Moy</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>Justin Moyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06496413624607163916noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316431648706249914.post-31779564246226415092023-08-19T05:12:00.003-07:002023-08-19T17:16:03.695-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">44 class Loco's</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Auscision 4402 all weathered up</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8J4L_AGFAvDC1aqaS76tpSeI84cYZN-Z080Nt0v-1a76Jak2tCrJ2-I4JS3xJpvScYUN9OxpQviAYvAPISN10zDCRDAdINBOzrvCwNy9g4dcE6y_gym3YnYgEiwCwGiXQn0yEh-J5a7DX75DLYLD2AgteSiS6Su15kdkF1i-yc0OjFX2kkq88jx_E731l/s1200/_IMG3051.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="1200" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8J4L_AGFAvDC1aqaS76tpSeI84cYZN-Z080Nt0v-1a76Jak2tCrJ2-I4JS3xJpvScYUN9OxpQviAYvAPISN10zDCRDAdINBOzrvCwNy9g4dcE6y_gym3YnYgEiwCwGiXQn0yEh-J5a7DX75DLYLD2AgteSiS6Su15kdkF1i-yc0OjFX2kkq88jx_E731l/w568-h222/_IMG3051.JPG" width="568" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrp_CklUncNf7VhX2DZB9M0UMdPzpAq4eWi9QMXzkhAxvxY-IVMfSX0hIR5Mm7IbbvhjMeUoJONiWP1s2VKhRVNl0g_raz5wIdOIQAI_NZi9n9Hyo0nkZGNd5hlDtm8bk_3oGH9XCw1tpRklWCoJmmbI59KUAKaEEmXfi5ufFgg_3B7b4EeLQ91LgQ9QN/s1200/_IMG3052.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="1200" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrp_CklUncNf7VhX2DZB9M0UMdPzpAq4eWi9QMXzkhAxvxY-IVMfSX0hIR5Mm7IbbvhjMeUoJONiWP1s2VKhRVNl0g_raz5wIdOIQAI_NZi9n9Hyo0nkZGNd5hlDtm8bk_3oGH9XCw1tpRklWCoJmmbI59KUAKaEEmXfi5ufFgg_3B7b4EeLQ91LgQ9QN/w567-h233/_IMG3052.JPG" width="567" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got my hands on an Auscision 44 class Loco. I am not going to review it as such. It is done pretty well. The underframe detail really looks the part. the paint finish is good. If I was going to be critical, I would say the quality of the tool making is not up to the usual Auscision Standards. Some of the fine detail is missing from the MU couplings. Some of the bolts on the rear highlight casing are misaligned. The nose door is not very well defined. The steps on the side of the fuel tank are not quite right. The nose windscreens and the roof profile above the windscreens is not quite right. It is really a small list of Criticism when compared to the Trainorama Model. I am happy with the model, it is a good buy. It runs well and the DCC sound is reasonable. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They were first produced nearly 20 years ago. I looked at what it might take to make the Traino Model compare a little more to the Auscision Model. I decided to tackle some of the obvious differences. The ride height of the loco was lowered buy 0.6mm. I took that off the chassis bogie pivot points. I widened and raised the fuel tank and added chassis rails and framework behind the Pilots. I added some pipe work around the fuel tank as well. There was a lot more that could be done. Maybe one day, I will add the lift rings on the roof? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This has all been done to one of the newer run 44 class Chassis from Trainorama. These are fitted with 21 pin PCB Boards and much more friendly to adding DCC and Sound. I will drill out the marker lights one day when I source some Optical Fiber to use. Since getting into DCC I have lifted my standard of modeling. I will not have masses of Loco's going into the future. Sound fitted Loco's are mostly over $400 to purchase today. I am going to put a lot more effort into making what I have, run well and look and sound good. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj0DPIsVz47nBOxXbqTySC-wa2i5-6bWXejbC8tPgYfX3wNMIrI4ZgeTMPOgRHXFbC4hpaxxT2EpkXLn1HObIb_G3vu1ej62EdRfHuDbuZpS-EsLDW_wem3sj3SQ_jOYezj-zvb6bghtMzlUfqYyqXcr1YlyPSzRYiGkPlzbknnyO1UsGuMxVFiWPyDJeV/s3641/356743295_249957257815112_1570206877952169470_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="3641" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj0DPIsVz47nBOxXbqTySC-wa2i5-6bWXejbC8tPgYfX3wNMIrI4ZgeTMPOgRHXFbC4hpaxxT2EpkXLn1HObIb_G3vu1ej62EdRfHuDbuZpS-EsLDW_wem3sj3SQ_jOYezj-zvb6bghtMzlUfqYyqXcr1YlyPSzRYiGkPlzbknnyO1UsGuMxVFiWPyDJeV/w473-h266/356743295_249957257815112_1570206877952169470_n.jpg" width="473" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeUyd77MbFyfJEm0f7BNjomd54ci7kRBMGVL1A7HYWwTaLTsyMuqFFLjGQy-zHgNVwHUyve2YfGgihIjvHVC5HIvdR9a5kQ7yVHOVYeg81-_iYyZg8MuLvX0iYqlTQFxTe0bxYBiuxcH8whETOcRLCUR-sp3TOUxpQwQwMd-yEn_TP0Cdu9iyByM5kDaKU/s3641/356792027_6440123756072007_7018815083287303483_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="3641" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeUyd77MbFyfJEm0f7BNjomd54ci7kRBMGVL1A7HYWwTaLTsyMuqFFLjGQy-zHgNVwHUyve2YfGgihIjvHVC5HIvdR9a5kQ7yVHOVYeg81-_iYyZg8MuLvX0iYqlTQFxTe0bxYBiuxcH8whETOcRLCUR-sp3TOUxpQwQwMd-yEn_TP0Cdu9iyByM5kDaKU/w470-h264/356792027_6440123756072007_7018815083287303483_n.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTnbNOTLyw-H8u76uWyPeMmyOAL3B6Zu8ir_JfA18LUHQdfSXl6p_VpDLvimiwAEl5tQRinK-yVb3mt8BnB2cC2gD-BHRi-ZuyfIQgiVLIfu-eNtg-IkZ17U695GuDjHBEbOuB0n3qZrDHs7k9O8cfE4RNUnkctYQteFElgSo7kq7Dio9sfec2-qNa0G3/s3641/356794213_305684738566917_5336376728374668289_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="3641" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTnbNOTLyw-H8u76uWyPeMmyOAL3B6Zu8ir_JfA18LUHQdfSXl6p_VpDLvimiwAEl5tQRinK-yVb3mt8BnB2cC2gD-BHRi-ZuyfIQgiVLIfu-eNtg-IkZ17U695GuDjHBEbOuB0n3qZrDHs7k9O8cfE4RNUnkctYQteFElgSo7kq7Dio9sfec2-qNa0G3/w470-h265/356794213_305684738566917_5336376728374668289_n.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3oq6-KOqb955_Nk20-vz3a-sAOg7ngM-INwnnJSMAMyg4vYeTkNRBXy3Jq1tr1CJWzlrISFnYxMivTXu5sX2WjXsMNqZ-FqDTxXJvm2YVUUvdC54-iU2gucnBIX798EEO9XGIrPY-R_j-nftEAbouJ_F-QOWAqAEKNb_FN3s_NyT0-W_LUR0_Q43DHTN/s1200/_IMG3054.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="1200" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3oq6-KOqb955_Nk20-vz3a-sAOg7ngM-INwnnJSMAMyg4vYeTkNRBXy3Jq1tr1CJWzlrISFnYxMivTXu5sX2WjXsMNqZ-FqDTxXJvm2YVUUvdC54-iU2gucnBIX798EEO9XGIrPY-R_j-nftEAbouJ_F-QOWAqAEKNb_FN3s_NyT0-W_LUR0_Q43DHTN/w572-h235/_IMG3054.JPG" width="572" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cheers Justin Moy</div><br /> <p></p>Justin Moyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06496413624607163916noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316431648706249914.post-63724837884524487182023-08-17T11:33:00.002-07:002023-08-19T17:09:14.527-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><u style="font-size: xx-large;">It has been a while</u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just had a look at my Blog and realized it has been over a year since I have made a post. Life has been busy of late. I have been doing a bit of Modeling. Some of you may notice that I have been contributing to the Australian Model Railway Magazine over the last year or so. I have made a few changes to my mind set on Modeling of late. I have taken off into the world of DDC with a NCE System for my layout. With this I have had to have a good look at my Motive Power and where to go with it into the future.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have had to make a choice on what Decoders to go with. At this point I have made the decision to go with ESU Loksound Decoders as this is the way Auscision and SDS have gone with their DCC fitted locomotives. I have made the decision to off load loco's that would need lots of work to convert. Also narrowing down may modeling era to the first half of 1988 has helped to make decisions on what stays and goes. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">All my early Trainorama 44's are going. I am only keeping two that have the new run chassis fitted with the 21 pin PCB board. I have recently built up 4470 that was featured in the AMRM. I am keeping this one but fitting that body to a newer chassis. The other 44 will be 4419 in Candy. I have found that the 44 class Loksound Decoder available through Auscision works quite well on this Chassis after some changes to the Lighting and speakers. All other 44's will be Auscision into the future unless I can pick up any more of the latest run Trainorama 44's.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have two Auscision 80 class loco's 8010 and 8026. These were DC only but since Auscision have made their Programed Decoders available, they have been fitted and sound great. I have one Auscision 45 that has been DCC friendly from the start as it is a dummy. My other two powered 45's will one day have Auscision 600 class decoders fitted. I will probably need to sort out the lighting but will see when I get to that point.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The other Mainline Power that I am concerned with is Jumbo's. All my Austrains 442's are going. As a model they just don't cut it anymore. It is unfortunately that for me the Auscision 442 class Model doesn't cut it as well. It has nice detail as such, but the body width is too narrow and roof profile is just wrong. I only have one Auscision Jumbo that I picked up from their Bargin Bin. One day I might take to it with a saw, but I will probably wait for the day that someone brings out a better one that will look right running together with my 80 class. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Other than 44/442/45/80 class loco's, I have two Trainorama 48's and one 49 class that I will convert over. I Also have Auscision 42201 in Reverse and SDS 8171 in Candy that I bought with DCC sound. They both run and sound great. I also have Auscision 4402 with Sound. I will talk more about it later.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope to add some more Blog's soon. I have a lot to talk about. I will be starting the scenery on my layout soon. I want to talk about some recent model releases. Most notable there is the Auscision Mark 1 44's and the OTM's LX/ALGX Vans. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway some photos</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I can't even remember why I chose not to share it on my blog at the time. Anyway here it is.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This model is a serious kit bash. AFAIK there has only been one model kit available of this wagon produced and that was from Broad Gauge Bodies. On Track Models had produced real nice models Ready to Run of the VLCX, VBBX and VLEX. They had also produced both versions of the VLCX. Auscison have also done both versions of the VLCX RTR. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I only have the On Track Models representations of these Victorian Vans, so when looking at options to make up one of the VLDX vans, I chose to use parts from On Track Models 2nd version of the VLCX to kit Bash a VLDX. I see this van as the most closely related in Construction.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am no expert on Victorian Vans but from what I can work out, The Victorian Railways constructed 20 of these 52 foot long VLDX Lourved Vans. I believe they were made for a pacific haulage contract at the time. This is why they have an unusual length. Up till this time they had only built Vans in this series as 40 footers and 56 footers.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have noticed these vans as part of consist on trains passing Taree in the early 90's, but never got up close and personal with a VLDX. So I have had to make a number of guesses on how these are constructed. I am very thankful of people like Norm Bray for his Flickr Site </span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/60901191@N08/" style="text-align: left;">Norm Bray | Flickr</a> <span style="font-size: large;">that has many photographs of rolling stock for those that really missed out on getting photo's of wagons while they were running. He has given permission for me to use his photo's to explain my modelling process.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My aim for this project is to make the model as closely as OTM's have produced their Victorian Vans. So it looks like it may of come out of one of their boxes originally.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPG9bnkBAFzvu_pcN-ggwXhqdxpyCiq9oayjmH4YlLVIn64xvf16v1Sfr_NRg91iAk5KttfkAwzK-_SK-ReydYS4HrsIBsq5CMd_tsygZZVs25aKSCt2qfdYZ-Sw6LMeUJhHGeRdLKbAfr/s800/VLDX13F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="800" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPG9bnkBAFzvu_pcN-ggwXhqdxpyCiq9oayjmH4YlLVIn64xvf16v1Sfr_NRg91iAk5KttfkAwzK-_SK-ReydYS4HrsIBsq5CMd_tsygZZVs25aKSCt2qfdYZ-Sw6LMeUJhHGeRdLKbAfr/w564-h377/VLDX13F.jpg" width="564" /></a></div>VLDX13-F<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What makes these vans unusual is the length and the doors which only roll to the right on each side. This in a way makes it relate more to the VLCX Van rather than the VLEX Van. I also lacks the extra pressing on the side panels that the VLEX has.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmux-5XRDGSxJX-FTjOT1hFqpzBkMHp7OgokGuVBWD9LCtyS_MkCW2G_E4sO7_lzXBWeeU0P7moANHNNKQXVNuQPt7vesDGBg4c3RYK7Yh0xOCAVJWt_V9a1b5l8E8OBbNUcqUhSxtlDEY/s1792/5722108182_98c3ee68b2_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1232" data-original-width="1792" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmux-5XRDGSxJX-FTjOT1hFqpzBkMHp7OgokGuVBWD9LCtyS_MkCW2G_E4sO7_lzXBWeeU0P7moANHNNKQXVNuQPt7vesDGBg4c3RYK7Yh0xOCAVJWt_V9a1b5l8E8OBbNUcqUhSxtlDEY/w551-h378/5722108182_98c3ee68b2_o.jpg" width="551" /></a></div>VLCX 419-P<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The second version of the VLCX is what I can see as being the mostly closely related Van in it's general construction. I have used the On Track Models version of this van to construct my VLDX. The side panels on the 3 panel end are the same (H beams between the panels) The Ends are the same, the roof has the same profile and panel size. Going off the fact that these have a steel floor and not timber like the first version of the VLCX, I have used a steel floor on the VLDX.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij8BFAOSTCXhFCawCPiedUpY_op2ZRp1-l5FZ6HEphhJToy0DVD9NJNEJI1A9a2uWZudxO3cv8B-0fa7k5jwwxQneikaIhU-CS2F7m7PdhwDmuF_NwUf7QlblIf9fFNxmkoG0qhSpQ0Rw1/s1799/5600196518_21ff6293dc_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1190" data-original-width="1799" height="349" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij8BFAOSTCXhFCawCPiedUpY_op2ZRp1-l5FZ6HEphhJToy0DVD9NJNEJI1A9a2uWZudxO3cv8B-0fa7k5jwwxQneikaIhU-CS2F7m7PdhwDmuF_NwUf7QlblIf9fFNxmkoG0qhSpQ0Rw1/w526-h349/5600196518_21ff6293dc_o.jpg" width="526" /></a></div>VLCX 131-T<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">When you look at the first version VLCX, it is quite a bit different. The ends are different at the base around the coupler area. The side bracing is very different and the top door runner is different. This also has a timber flooring. It is well presented by the OTM's version of this.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRc2yCVLenLtTTFXU-lIvP5EI0ZpPA7d6KtAGGESUb_GzXpvohaBlX8YpQINfQEDcx7m_EbzLHsWPb_FJZzoDfazp9NrSe6WVMMi-oFJOn631-a9a1f6iW0j3aieIC5Vv4K3xH_qXJFADz/s800/VLEX837.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="539" data-original-width="800" height="341" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRc2yCVLenLtTTFXU-lIvP5EI0ZpPA7d6KtAGGESUb_GzXpvohaBlX8YpQINfQEDcx7m_EbzLHsWPb_FJZzoDfazp9NrSe6WVMMi-oFJOn631-a9a1f6iW0j3aieIC5Vv4K3xH_qXJFADz/w506-h341/VLEX837.jpg" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">VLEX 837</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The VLEX is a different beast. It gains it's extra 4 feet (52 vers 56 feet) by using larger doors. It also has extra pressing in the sides. In some ways it might of made sense to use parts from the OTM's VLEX to make the VLDX but I viewed the pressing as just too hard to remove and still look good. The pressing at the top maybe, but the ones between the louvres, not so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway to the model</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrc_PfeuLt8MZaVyHGEymcyAvqsdq-rVE0wZ0o-80jf0vrIelcNQkbNC7ZRUU8Ry2YQ9OLqeArB1mrqZ6guPLG6F2dAvnmeJc_Ky59sMaDV3AdzY6z1w2XIxtbHXD2Vgv9vM06JgRrMPr/s2048/036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrc_PfeuLt8MZaVyHGEymcyAvqsdq-rVE0wZ0o-80jf0vrIelcNQkbNC7ZRUU8Ry2YQ9OLqeArB1mrqZ6guPLG6F2dAvnmeJc_Ky59sMaDV3AdzY6z1w2XIxtbHXD2Vgv9vM06JgRrMPr/w524-h393/036.JPG" width="524" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It started life here from my parts box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had quite a bit of stuff to use as I had acquired some pre-production stuff from OTM's which become very useful. One that was very useful was a couple of pre-production VLCX bodies that had removable brass plates for the number boards. On the production run the number boards were put on the die and not a separate part. This was useful as the VLCX had the number board at the ends were the VLDX mostly had them placed in the centre of the Louvres. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwxERnsHEBuLw617w_GTN7ybPdOJ4wtJhmmXgfVpQOQOiY-XdXkZNbZ5ra6XPRltt8rSrzpoblRCUxx2w71lFJFsw73eqVvXuE7V6X5hZuSq8NFoMiVtDTLANqBwnnpCU0RAtpNvLoz06/s2048/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwxERnsHEBuLw617w_GTN7ybPdOJ4wtJhmmXgfVpQOQOiY-XdXkZNbZ5ra6XPRltt8rSrzpoblRCUxx2w71lFJFsw73eqVvXuE7V6X5hZuSq8NFoMiVtDTLANqBwnnpCU0RAtpNvLoz06/w543-h407/015.JPG" width="543" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For some reason I didn't take photo's of the construction of this model or I cannot find them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz39DacpcVyLmj-RH7BsKao22-ylfcjqJyU1I4YDV4p3L9ZIF27n8jLY390QCaBQ-1bt_guo-tTBHeAZ8Dv77971Z16ICsMm6dKbfYC3NJgITpUBWEZCJmTBlL-tAE3MaERKmdJnPh3s-q/s2048/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz39DacpcVyLmj-RH7BsKao22-ylfcjqJyU1I4YDV4p3L9ZIF27n8jLY390QCaBQ-1bt_guo-tTBHeAZ8Dv77971Z16ICsMm6dKbfYC3NJgITpUBWEZCJmTBlL-tAE3MaERKmdJnPh3s-q/w538-h403/018.JPG" width="538" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of note in this photo is the under frame. The fish belly is quite a bit shallower than the VLEX Van. As a guess I have made it the same size as the first version of the Victorian ELX/VOBX open wagon. it makes sense to me that they might share the same dimensions as such. I measured up an Austrain's model to match it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLO36W9GYMPxsFdFoNwdnDipQm0HkLy72_Nenf0pg3GBkWaqIOFCvhPWYRLGPP0sOXxj7lnLeOjv6iONru3eGIYA-nXEgsP7AIyuDw7K1OWgKXlutNzTl6l6oi6xheFnOyWRBpFlYpjLD/s800/ROBX95.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="800" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLO36W9GYMPxsFdFoNwdnDipQm0HkLy72_Nenf0pg3GBkWaqIOFCvhPWYRLGPP0sOXxj7lnLeOjv6iONru3eGIYA-nXEgsP7AIyuDw7K1OWgKXlutNzTl6l6oi6xheFnOyWRBpFlYpjLD/w551-h371/ROBX95.jpg" width="551" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">An example of a shallow under frame</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIDYn5zhYU8Y5bYidFBuL0iOVw2Y0DjM2QGchGSjUMnygb9oRvCDFldDfEJffpU6PY2hvAKfXE1Fm1EGtlcWbJxIjyVUaIsAjRkIQSpkcHMe66mWZeKL8PHFVZkUqsJJJGU_2Tbl7c-Rfr/s1200/_IGP2727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="583" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIDYn5zhYU8Y5bYidFBuL0iOVw2Y0DjM2QGchGSjUMnygb9oRvCDFldDfEJffpU6PY2hvAKfXE1Fm1EGtlcWbJxIjyVUaIsAjRkIQSpkcHMe66mWZeKL8PHFVZkUqsJJJGU_2Tbl7c-Rfr/w548-h266/_IGP2727.JPG" width="548" /></a></div>On other plus from the pre-production models were the use of real chain for the hand brake. All the parts except the under frame constructed from styrene are OTM's. The brake detail is done based on the 2nd version VLCX. I have used photo's to pin point the location as close as I can tell. I had to use the doors from two wagons as they are different on each side of the VLCX. One set rolls left, the other set rolls right. One the VLDX they both sides roll to the right. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYgqbaQ5FJ17gOHBG0TP5MONBSWurkLo5zlgN89Y37qnnmaYDxRz8hWiv1tFjCinsFefjGRpCPvZ3waNlAlSv1Pc60f9xjJvyioUaCWLvqAsEew7_ZJBcTJBjKyjNw805pnRxveS7WrwHi/s276/6102564700_9fc8bfe987_b%255B1%255D+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="148" data-original-width="276" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYgqbaQ5FJ17gOHBG0TP5MONBSWurkLo5zlgN89Y37qnnmaYDxRz8hWiv1tFjCinsFefjGRpCPvZ3waNlAlSv1Pc60f9xjJvyioUaCWLvqAsEew7_ZJBcTJBjKyjNw805pnRxveS7WrwHi/w414-h222/6102564700_9fc8bfe987_b%255B1%255D+-+Copy.jpg" width="414" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The roof is interesting. The panels on the roof as the same size as that on the VLCX. but to make them fit on the 52 foot VLDX they have this short panel in the center of the van. This made thing easy for adding the roof to this build. I used the door end of two roofs and then cut off the remaining door runners to suit. I was real happy when doing this as I finished up with a short panel in the middle about the same size. Maybe a fraction too big but it doesn't look out of place. Some satisfaction came when I could get the doors to open and close.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixisnvhEBpgRyO4b-oaIMlTj_oOdPIajpUCkpz3wNeN6db9uQJOUoS8yiQZ4sgDl4Nlj02AIo4JYyJn5-EJXhhpgOrCRtJ5gytobXsM3hyf-yzvUvCKozQvuaZIHlyFQVYG-d8Tl2M5kWA/s1200/_IGP2798.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hi Guy's. Getting back into the Groove as it seems. As I have been putting allot of thought into bringing my era back to mid to late 80's north coast NSW, I wasn't sure what to do with these 4x Auscision RKWF's that I had. In reality these wagons were converted somewhere around 1989 which puts them right at the end of my era. I could of back dated them, already having 3x Auscision AJKY's that are lightly weathered.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the end, I have quite a few wagons, these are 75 foot models and my layout isn't that big. I still have some AMK models versions of these waiting assembly. As 80 class were still running on the coast in the late 80's I have been looking at getting a few in my roster. I have Auscision 8010, and 4x Austrains 80 in various stages. A decision needed to be made. That is to detail up the Austrains 80's or replace with Auscision 80's. The amount of time to prepare 4x Austrains vers just making a few modifications to the Auscision Model. The Auscision Model is pretty good. I pointed out in a previous Blog any points on the 80 that could need attention to make it about perfect. So these 4x RKWF's not needed as such are going to help boost up my 80 class fleet.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To bring these guys up to what they look like in a National Rail / Pacific National ERA is a bit of a challenge. Lots of Fading and rusting. As I am still using enamels, the base colour I used to fade the paint work back was Testers Flat Enamel 64 OD green. Light to heavy coats and then added various Brown colours into the mix. Then I used various browns and a colour called Hull Red and sprayed up close inside each of the ribs on the sides. There was about 3 hours of Air Brush Time devoted to the 4x wagons.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHZr0hw-651NClMbvCetmjY_tKfvnUuTIOUscd-4YLyqIKsNZsjY90tSjlsszWLiOvFWG1lmRmsKKXb1j2V52psFr47uw6MKs_zxIWuI2sWg1G_9m4NZVetseH4iNKTcq_xFgGsl4onzk/s1920/166808229_2989707687916381_538746780107656371_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitHZr0hw-651NClMbvCetmjY_tKfvnUuTIOUscd-4YLyqIKsNZsjY90tSjlsszWLiOvFWG1lmRmsKKXb1j2V52psFr47uw6MKs_zxIWuI2sWg1G_9m4NZVetseH4iNKTcq_xFgGsl4onzk/s320/166808229_2989707687916381_538746780107656371_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have myself a new air compressor which runs real quiet.

Finishing off a number out standing projects. This one got out before the latest weather event has stopped my progress on other things. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have made the decision to back date my modelling era a little. I was modelling the early 90's North coast NSW. I am now going for 1983 to mid 1988. With this in mind I have been paying allot of attention to Tuscan and Reverse Schemes and of course Candy. This also brings into play many classes of Loco's that I wouldn't of been able to show in the 90's era such as 73 class, 421 class, 47 class and even 48 and 80 class loco's as they were moved from the North Coast in mid 1990.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have a number of 44 Class Locomotives that I want to replicate from this time. I have decided not to model Red Terror at all. So my two Reds, 4473 & 4482 will find other uses. At this point my 44 class fleet will look like 4442 and 4445 in their last representation of Tuscan. 4470 and 4491 in reverse. There will be another mark 2 4481-44100 version in reverse, just can not decide as yet. And lastly 4419, 4439, 4492 & 4499 in candy.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are two Trainorama 48's in my roster, 4819 tuscan and 4844 in candy. I will have 3 Auscision 45 class, 4505 tuscan, 4522 candy and 4503 candy. At this point I have one 80 class, Auscision 8010 in Bi-centennial and I haven't made my mind up where I am going to go with 80's in the future. This is whether I do up the Austrain's ones that I have on just go Auscision.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">These Locomotives above consist of my North Coast Roster of Loco's. I have some other bits n pieces such as Auscision 7320 and my Modified Austrain's 8173. There is a couple of others like a G class sitting there and so on.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">What you may of noticed in this list of Loco's is the exclusion of any 442 class. I have come to a cross roads as such over this class of Loco. The Auscision 442 class was released probably a couple of years ago now and I haven't got any. I have around 7 Austrain's 442's in various states of repair. It has to be one or the other. I sat on the fence and didn't pre-order any as I wanted to wait and see. So I missed out on most of the Candy ones straight up. At the end of the day I am glad I didn't pre-order any. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jumbo's like 44's are pretty much imprinted in my brain. As they were in the late 80's and early 90's I can recall every little detail around these loco's. Any detail or paint variations are pretty much right there in my memory. I wish I could recall other things like I can these loco's. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">With this in mind I wasn't all that fussed with the Auscision 442 class model. It has great detail as it should for the price and the chassis looks great. It is another case I looked and it just didn't seem right. I couldn't pick it at first. But when I looked into it more and more I just kept finding little things. Like the 80 class I looked at the windscreens and something was quite right there. When I looked into it, the main reason it didn't look right was because the body is too narrow. If you put a set of calipers on a Auscison 80 class body than keep that setting and place in over an Auscision 442, there will be about 1/2 millimetre of play. Might not seem like a lot but it is when it comes to looks and running the two classes together. These loco's in reality share many dimensions give or take not a real lot. This then puts out the angle of the mansard on the roof and so it goes on. There is some other issues to discuss later like the main cooling fans. Auscision like Austrains have used the later type on all their models which is a hard one to fix if needed. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the end of the day I want my models to look right together. When I redo the photo's as discussed in my last blog, this will be pointed out further and expanded on. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now some photo's of 44221. I renumbered this loco from 44201 by retouching the zero and making it a two by removing parts of the number and using paint to touch it up. Pretty fine work but it come up OK. I wanted to practice some of my Technic on this loco. It is all done with Enamels as is my usual, but one day I will start going water based. My mate Nathan that owns this one is pretty happy with the job that I did.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH6BUY8yRw1rh_twdOdtDbyuq339o2_4f-43jtKeR6ZHnfKNyVj6XT5nnkJfsUupS_Kfq1yQ2aEnIGSKv1aRj19KRH2PqnaW2SYDVvQX3i1jgRyE2tt1obA66i4txpJ4X_srTLO0SN9mF/s1300/_IGP4245.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="1300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH6BUY8yRw1rh_twdOdtDbyuq339o2_4f-43jtKeR6ZHnfKNyVj6XT5nnkJfsUupS_Kfq1yQ2aEnIGSKv1aRj19KRH2PqnaW2SYDVvQX3i1jgRyE2tt1obA66i4txpJ4X_srTLO0SN9mF/s320/_IGP4245.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">A couple of shots of the Technic</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqV8SNQ-LSGtcBYzQgS1SiMwj4q8VF5JCeZ9vCbm36H-kSmIOtKuW8ZlP1TVTHjG627WwesOAcR-1VacDzR_G0OWnNfo-wPXz_MQtF7cOvJpxbrxdNrujSQa02fPS2MfgchFOau-r_J2c/s960/160321208_10226074579352140_7746006412428106499_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqV8SNQ-LSGtcBYzQgS1SiMwj4q8VF5JCeZ9vCbm36H-kSmIOtKuW8ZlP1TVTHjG627WwesOAcR-1VacDzR_G0OWnNfo-wPXz_MQtF7cOvJpxbrxdNrujSQa02fPS2MfgchFOau-r_J2c/s320/160321208_10226074579352140_7746006412428106499_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I masked up the windows, number boards and head lights firstly using Tamiya masking tape cutting out the shapes with a single edge razer blade on glass.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz5EbqdM3i7TUJlJGjYkHm1ovCsggVDLsh4i_im6i3opPf5AnsfjfCePUVJ4VQ9o6W71fqebzNJH4eOGlscAij4N7HnlPkhn2a6pBfqW9wy_zxoL4BaY7mzKKHDeIgKcFHF8Pmdf3m-Hj/s960/158653932_10226074578872128_849924619701706222_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTz5EbqdM3i7TUJlJGjYkHm1ovCsggVDLsh4i_im6i3opPf5AnsfjfCePUVJ4VQ9o6W71fqebzNJH4eOGlscAij4N7HnlPkhn2a6pBfqW9wy_zxoL4BaY7mzKKHDeIgKcFHF8Pmdf3m-Hj/s320/158653932_10226074578872128_849924619701706222_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to lighten and fade some of the side panels but not the stripping so I masked them off.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEkz_3eI_GO4T4ICHAGtAyp0gq6qXoeh2Qhvt5MIARjKzRI1BzlriQZQgr22CIppT4icZMYDHl1as6yAnd21QH4Z4zspdBkBYZZgF-lMViv50U6McFoSDqdcdFcvDzsQjWzrLwoD4fRCM/s960/159734781_10226074579832152_2175216094742897029_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEkz_3eI_GO4T4ICHAGtAyp0gq6qXoeh2Qhvt5MIARjKzRI1BzlriQZQgr22CIppT4icZMYDHl1as6yAnd21QH4Z4zspdBkBYZZgF-lMViv50U6McFoSDqdcdFcvDzsQjWzrLwoD4fRCM/s320/159734781_10226074579832152_2175216094742897029_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then went about the first layer of air brushing using a print in the back ground of a loco with the appearance and colours that I required.

It has been a hectic time. So much going on. I will get back to it soon. A few things have happened over the last bit that have made me sit down and think. This hobby as a whole is starting to lose people. I was very saddened recently at the loss of some big names in this hobby. John Eassie from Austrains was one and more recently, Allan Brown. These people were great contributors to Australian Model Railways in many ways. </p><p>Over time Allan and Myself have shared quite a bit of information and my modelling has benefited greatly from this. He was a great character who was really getting out there and supporting young modelers. He would be at Exhibitions conducting workshops, go to club running days and countless other events. More recently on the internet and many of the chat groups sharing his knowledge. I always seemed to aggravated him when I would point out issues with some Auscision models. I don't know why? I do this to any model producers stuff that I have an interest in. Allan will be missed.</p><p>Now the sitting down and thinking part. I think I should be more like Allan Brown? I need to make the time to get out there and support this great hobby further in the future. I am not sure how that is going to look but one thing is for sure, I could sure start blogging again. Share the information I have. I am now 48 years old. I am not the healthiest being. I have a number of health issues. The most concerning is Diabetic Retinopathy. This is degenerative and can only be managed. I get regular Laser Treatment for this. At present my Maculars are stable but I am on the books of the Sydney Eye Hospital in case I have a serious bleed that effects my Maculars and eyesight. In any case I have allot of anxiety and heavy depression mostly around this issue that I am trying to manage and resolve this. It is truly amazing how counseling can work and get you pointing in the right direction and you realize just how ineffectual you have been in life.</p><p>So I have allot of things to catch up on. My modelling pursuits for one. Also my photography. I have been left behind greatly in this field. My equipment is getting old and needs replacing and I need software as well. I look at what people are doing now like image stacking to get better depth of field and I really have no idea? Anyway more on this as it comes to hand. </p><p>I want to leave you with a couple of images. These were taken back in 2005. I guess my thoughts on these images go along the lines of how far Australia model railways have come. I want you to have a close look at the rolling stock on these trains. These represent the best available for that time. Many kits make up these trains, Ian Lindsay Models, Broad Gauge Bodies, AR kits and others. I am going to retake these scenes soon with the same consist but with all the latest models available. Should be interesting.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzypEhsBdAP2AgWeLcvCehqX6rNMf_qNLOwk2HPiLyo6Fbplhlkd5bzY1_2vRbObpjgs0njdYhZ79vABj5VW-yChOh-WKXQKWna5iviGWYM6zNtY9kNbxmiK1SyADtv4q5PTuN9NH_02qo/s929/44233_6372_Wingham_Justin_Moy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="929" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzypEhsBdAP2AgWeLcvCehqX6rNMf_qNLOwk2HPiLyo6Fbplhlkd5bzY1_2vRbObpjgs0njdYhZ79vABj5VW-yChOh-WKXQKWna5iviGWYM6zNtY9kNbxmiK1SyADtv4q5PTuN9NH_02qo/s320/44233_6372_Wingham_Justin_Moy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha_YGtXzN58gehwExiXRDlrRfFzFuALr6cwfEA-1p_X1zQUV73QIa48SqBa6TkyMvNKfH4Mf50ZnGlKuWf6n6lOp2EfczjP88XJIeT1gw-mbXVQGpSXT0Dp8htnHcDJLR-QUdRnDxULC1R/s1023/IMGP2983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1023" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha_YGtXzN58gehwExiXRDlrRfFzFuALr6cwfEA-1p_X1zQUV73QIa48SqBa6TkyMvNKfH4Mf50ZnGlKuWf6n6lOp2EfczjP88XJIeT1gw-mbXVQGpSXT0Dp8htnHcDJLR-QUdRnDxULC1R/s320/IMGP2983.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9mvM063f9y7n0t3CXPdfEhCimOOfNmKkxXxCTVGkcUAVGa5kpLy6EE5wB18sGuj2FqfGQsYiBW_00MB_zioWneaoa7rh_ght1Ps51zqOQE-bE5SLpT3gIj_pn8H9HsJM4_FXPfMaZBejE/s1047/4808%252C4533+Dn+Cement+Primrose+Street.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1047" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9mvM063f9y7n0t3CXPdfEhCimOOfNmKkxXxCTVGkcUAVGa5kpLy6EE5wB18sGuj2FqfGQsYiBW_00MB_zioWneaoa7rh_ght1Ps51zqOQE-bE5SLpT3gIj_pn8H9HsJM4_FXPfMaZBejE/s320/4808%252C4533+Dn+Cement+Primrose+Street.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Cheers for Now</div><div style="text-align: center;">Justin Moy</div><p></p>Justin Moyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06496413624607163916noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316431648706249914.post-31266343310540147582020-09-08T02:35:00.001-07:002020-09-08T02:35:16.936-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just a quick update on the NOBX project.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLV3FTuaoGo3lWrcuZAfqoAky6k84pyhiF0HyQ8PASBQ4yChyphenhyphenuUpDXNVya0gewNVC0tct8Htf1wyEXgLw0Pw9eRCHjLISYRzTXqbWpHCBxOf89BdyZDxEqWiCDTIshS4Q7noXHMDnp0ce6/s960/118582558_10224388667485397_1349080403366234085_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLV3FTuaoGo3lWrcuZAfqoAky6k84pyhiF0HyQ8PASBQ4yChyphenhyphenuUpDXNVya0gewNVC0tct8Htf1wyEXgLw0Pw9eRCHjLISYRzTXqbWpHCBxOf89BdyZDxEqWiCDTIshS4Q7noXHMDnp0ce6/s320/118582558_10224388667485397_1349080403366234085_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">All the underfloor detail including the steps from the original Auscision NOBX have been fitted back pretty much how it was on the RTR model.

I am basing the wagon on the one in the back ground photo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihInrZS_PFgjVOXvQ_SO2N5A_yQY10IvtdR9D4J4J5a42sjKG1BZ1Ge3nUPFa15JJkDeZgOIRV_iXdSMM3WB38nob2v0RuYBNgyer6mZllFWnRAbK8EyoC-RrU994HenM90lksQ8Ndifeb/s2048/IMG_3930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihInrZS_PFgjVOXvQ_SO2N5A_yQY10IvtdR9D4J4J5a42sjKG1BZ1Ge3nUPFa15JJkDeZgOIRV_iXdSMM3WB38nob2v0RuYBNgyer6mZllFWnRAbK8EyoC-RrU994HenM90lksQ8Ndifeb/s320/IMG_3930.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cheers for now</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Justin Moy</div><br /> </div><br /> <p></p>Justin Moyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06496413624607163916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316431648706249914.post-55602801798851947252020-09-02T06:06:00.001-07:002020-09-02T06:06:36.572-07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Auscision 8010</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5JoiYwWsGS7sLUS1xMYwI3OzMF36cPelUABmCoakSpfDt371SRnFTI6dfIORnHJmVShs_mWQxYlA2y6ADZlI2fANkGCXA-0UELEpQ9WavOBVPxyI_aQO58is-_XFr6p8BUFL_mxtYwVP/s1200/_IGP4188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5JoiYwWsGS7sLUS1xMYwI3OzMF36cPelUABmCoakSpfDt371SRnFTI6dfIORnHJmVShs_mWQxYlA2y6ADZlI2fANkGCXA-0UELEpQ9WavOBVPxyI_aQO58is-_XFr6p8BUFL_mxtYwVP/s640/_IGP4188.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A little while ago I got my hands on this Auscision 8010. I am pretty Familiar with 80 class loco's. I have worked on a number of Austrain's 80's over the years even going to the trouble of Super detailing one. If you look back a way on my Blog I did one about this, I think it was called "Making 8002". So anyway when I got my hands on this model, I was very keen to go over it in detail to see just how good it was. Things have come a long way since the Austrain's 80 come onto the market. Back then I think I paid $150 for my first 80. At $335 off the shelf for this or $295 pre-ordered you would expect there would be major improvements. It is done well and at the end of the day you are getting what you paid for with this model. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I always look at ways I can improve a model. In order to do this I first look for any mistakes that I can fix. I have no problems letting fellow modelers know of any things that could be corrected and if I can offer ways that this can be done. The wiring side I am not interested in so I really don't want to comment there. My model is DC and runs fine. I have seen and heard the DCC sound option running and it sounds great. Detail wise is my interest. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Xr5y_pSfYOl8wLJOkLwTGXFjsWDZWl2286UtJY09WfgRPZJ-ikMj2QbryoDzjSUIzGpYnVzJ0VxTvNK-YUmEsts4Dt14Osxv_8cClaq5uDPCA9v-MrVZwciUimk57xl4nyt4ohShAZH1/s1200/_IGP4186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Xr5y_pSfYOl8wLJOkLwTGXFjsWDZWl2286UtJY09WfgRPZJ-ikMj2QbryoDzjSUIzGpYnVzJ0VxTvNK-YUmEsts4Dt14Osxv_8cClaq5uDPCA9v-MrVZwciUimk57xl4nyt4ohShAZH1/s640/_IGP4186.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Detail wise the model is great, If I could of done as good a job super detailing an Austrain's 80 it would be a sight to behold. The detail is all there. The only issue is keeping it on there. It is a fine detailed model and at the end of the day needs to be treated that way, but I'm F#@&ed if I know where one of my bogie steps went? That is one little detail to talk about first. It appears that the bogie steps are mounted outward a bit too far. The side frames may be related to the 442 ones. As the 442 model come first, the steps on the 80 model are in the same position as the jumbo. In reality the 80 has a larger cab and the steps are mount further back on an 80 due to this.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_juSZ5rRaOczo7CZ28GWg5t1wAADq3yvkfk7qt5v0e2MO5Z9cvVWxXCufldBDgwYVOvNOAscYvqlxU6r2mkO5Q5gynxZk3M55xwD2wZsKuMxf1KPnSRH33ykLp8d1Abt67fbQmXGVrH8/s1200/_IGP4191.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_juSZ5rRaOczo7CZ28GWg5t1wAADq3yvkfk7qt5v0e2MO5Z9cvVWxXCufldBDgwYVOvNOAscYvqlxU6r2mkO5Q5gynxZk3M55xwD2wZsKuMxf1KPnSRH33ykLp8d1Abt67fbQmXGVrH8/s640/_IGP4191.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">you can see in this photo the step doesn't line up with the cab door and should be mounted a little closer to the brake cylinder.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXdUSovQ_Xx5ZVc20FS_KEggB_ySd5UbGH9sprnTBbhYcUNJ2VzGc-gZM5VAxobJo8Mm3obfIZtlERoaVS_m_qzSuFsmgXNKuIpQQZDWGNp6CIQKqTRaJeB_ISJNwTbhMuiImTAI0vMCWa/s1200/_IGP6792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="797" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXdUSovQ_Xx5ZVc20FS_KEggB_ySd5UbGH9sprnTBbhYcUNJ2VzGc-gZM5VAxobJo8Mm3obfIZtlERoaVS_m_qzSuFsmgXNKuIpQQZDWGNp6CIQKqTRaJeB_ISJNwTbhMuiImTAI0vMCWa/s640/_IGP6792.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">You can see in this photo where the step is mounted</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Also in this photo look at the space between the wheel journals and the bottom keeper plate under-neigh.

The split in the Main Air Tanks. I am sure the factory would of had a reason to do them this way but I am going to do some filling and sanding on this one.

The windscreen rubber at the top so about the same height as the gutters at the side of the cab. On the model if you refer to this, it is well above this point (please see second photo). I don't know how to fix this one. It does distract from the model in my view. It is one of those things that you look and it doesn't look quite right, but at first you can't put a finger on it. I will figure it out some how. As far as I can tell all 80's windscreens were like this. I know that 8030 and 8049 have newer slightly different shaped windscreens fitted that sit higher after they entered private ownership. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Also there is a little cut out at the bottom of the head stock just about the coupler that I am going to enlarge a little for appearance as well </span></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">My plan is to have my 8010 look somewhere like in these two photos.

I mainly wanted it running at last years NSWDEM running day. This was featured in a previous blog. There is a lot to talk about with this model. It has stemmed from a want to make a good representation of a 81 class at the time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Over the years there has been quite a few models of the State Rail 81 class come out on the Market. I think first may of been the Classic Brass 81 class. Then around 1987 AR Kits come out with a plastic Kit as such and 1988 Powerline introduced there RTR plastic 81 class. I could not afford a Brass 81 at the time, which was what you would expect from Brass. The Mech. in the Powerline Model was a toy, The AR Mech. being K&M was basically brass but I didn't like the cabs on the Model. That said over the years I have repowered a number of Powerline Models and did up some AR Models. But I have never really like their presentation of an 81 class.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQbR1ehqF7UaExVDbGKlzRF9tunet7cQfVV-M8kVBQEoan35nuRi5w-s_Ztb5PVjEwzhQ38SQ1s3DDvs6vc-t2wVKSPHv9FcXB8N8cSoUtjvyG2q_r77rkGqkUdZQbkB4fqZPHGbb125N/s880/IMGP1509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="374" data-original-width="880" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQbR1ehqF7UaExVDbGKlzRF9tunet7cQfVV-M8kVBQEoan35nuRi5w-s_Ztb5PVjEwzhQ38SQ1s3DDvs6vc-t2wVKSPHv9FcXB8N8cSoUtjvyG2q_r77rkGqkUdZQbkB4fqZPHGbb125N/s640/IMGP1509.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /> This is a Powerline 81 class sitting on an L&C Kits Chassis with an Austrain's C Class Mechanism.

I am pretty sure I purchased mine for $175.00 at the time. Anyway I looked at the positives, it had a nice running mechanism and some details were correct. It sat for a couple of years then I started taking a closer look at it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I looked at all the bits n pieces that I had laying around. What could I do to this model to make improvements? Well there was a long list. I hope I don't bore you all with this.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At first I looked at plenty of 81 class photo's to compare details. First issue tackled was filling in the extra door. When 81 classes all went for their 10 year CCO at Bathurst an extra engine room door was fitted. They were also repainted into the Freight Rail Blue Livery. Thus no Candy 81's had this door fitted. I happen to have some undecorated bodies that I acquired so I removed the necessary pieces to then replace this door with a port hole.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjVjo_9ww_0_xKx4czSl2poQWe2tgEkSQLohDCAisX4kRaESMmb1wZo_FgdQxBYuuQRZf8omc_mdCmQAQlupSytbCT1Y88VHZa9IR-xfxUzjH8mEo4VBb98iUo-RnZoFxbVCq3LXptIYp/s1200/03.01_IGP3177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjVjo_9ww_0_xKx4czSl2poQWe2tgEkSQLohDCAisX4kRaESMmb1wZo_FgdQxBYuuQRZf8omc_mdCmQAQlupSytbCT1Y88VHZa9IR-xfxUzjH8mEo4VBb98iUo-RnZoFxbVCq3LXptIYp/s640/03.01_IGP3177.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another issue was the body height. Due to this the Candy strips were applied incorrectly. The Candy yellow strip run too low and along the chassis part and not at the bottom of the lift out sections. looking into what may of caused this, it become necessary to add 1mm of height to the body above the frame as such. This was achieved using 1 by 1.5 mm Styrene.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was placed between the Chassis and body.

I had it sitting on an AR Kits provided K&M Mechanism at this point for posing purposes. The Air intake had also been replaced with a Brass Etch that I got with a G Class detailing kit. The original sat too low and just didn't look right. Another Modification was a lowing of the AC units.

No point reviewing the year that has been, only that it sucks. It has been over a year since I last made a post. I just haven't been in the right frame of mind. I am sorry for this as I really do like to share my thoughts and modelling ideas.</p><p>I really like to finish a project before I talk about it, but lately I just haven't been able to finish anything. It is like some barrier or mental block or something. I am just going to have to give updates on where I am at with some projects.</p><p>Anyway I have had this project on my mind for a number of years. I have always wanted to take an AR kits NOBX to the next level. A while back I did up 4 NOBX's and reported this in a previous blog. They were as the model intended to be. These were the first batch of BDX's, I think built by Tulloch. I have wanted to build the 2nd version which has quite a different style of under frame. I think these were made by Comeng. Anyway I am sure someone will correct me. These details are not a priority unless I was doing this for a magazine or Convention. The cross members on the second version are the difficult bit. From the following photo's you can see what I mean.</p><p>Then the Auscision BDX/NOBX come on the scene.</p><p>I got my hands on one of the new Auscision NOBX models. I got it from a member at the Taree and District Model Railway club that was happy to split up a pack. I am not into pre-ordering models anymore and that is a topic I will write about soon. As soon as I got the model home I put it up against my fleet of AR Kits NOBX models to see how it stacked up. Ideally I would of just liked to weather it up and be able to happily mix it up with them. The under frame was real nice. The cross members were done well. The body however was just not as good as the AR version. Photos will tell the story. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlrHtSP2mxeyP0Kz6vhv_B6E2GIt5Lt4hu3dwC_s7koZznKlTHG7GjxP-SjnZpHqQ3OJmcsfYJAKk1wSV140hTjVgSR8K64n4ttw09e1ty2glgO5PQ206SsOdD5aDruFvrELhhXVo_DCj/s2048/IMG_3889.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The sides on the AR Kits model are just much more crisp. The Sole Bar at the top of the sides just doesn't look right and the half relief tie rails on the side just look too thick. <p></p><p>My solution to this? Use all the bits done well and mix it up with AR Kits sides. Make the small modifications to the sides needed and make the best of it. Hopefully come up with a model that could be of Competition quality. Next is a photo essay of the process.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7lkix9p9y9XkGrJKBZ1S5Gn8DlGuJ5SAmWh3Dug5NA1q4-aIFb4u6UJFPIDUfxBplzO0E8mS5wgAMmLB_-vIfAw4s0adMWirwrSucSQk_fcwKr_WwMnKb5DxAzGWhyIT-sub0Ox9GZB8b/s2048/IMG_3894.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7lkix9p9y9XkGrJKBZ1S5Gn8DlGuJ5SAmWh3Dug5NA1q4-aIFb4u6UJFPIDUfxBplzO0E8mS5wgAMmLB_-vIfAw4s0adMWirwrSucSQk_fcwKr_WwMnKb5DxAzGWhyIT-sub0Ox9GZB8b/s640/IMG_3894.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p>First was to separate the Fish Belly chassis which is cast metal alloy. All the cross members are in place. One of the cross members is wrong. on the brake gear side 3 are reduced in size to cater for the brake gear but from the photos I have used for research, the one closest is the same as the ones on the other side. At the end of the day I am not going to worry about this. Being a metal chassis, it is strong so it has opened to opportunity to do the deck with real timber boards. My plan is to have a number of them missing and be able to see clearly some of the under frame through. Maybe not as bad as what is in this photo.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiShjoq_4iL1R3lBMHP12W2YxE0hMGBWih35YDmqw7MxnvOjFa2GJen701RrZa3-Nr6WrAiDJ1xv4P7jIcQr-iCIT5mMbO6vyl-kgzkWxg-M21ht1cbULa9WERns8kzeHIZmfPemVUK3dhp/s2048/IMG_3909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiShjoq_4iL1R3lBMHP12W2YxE0hMGBWih35YDmqw7MxnvOjFa2GJen701RrZa3-Nr6WrAiDJ1xv4P7jIcQr-iCIT5mMbO6vyl-kgzkWxg-M21ht1cbULa9WERns8kzeHIZmfPemVUK3dhp/s640/IMG_3909.JPG" /></a></div><br /> This is the first version.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Guys</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been a while since I have posted here on Killawarra. It has been a hard year for myself with a few challenges. I won't go into them but I want to talk about the NSWDEM annual running day which was held last Saturday 22nd June 2019. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight"><br /></msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight">Quite some time ago Dave Porter and myself started a Yahoo News Group called New South Wales Diesel Era Modelling. There was quite a few Yahoo Groups dedicated to Railway Modelling but they were not really catering for our needs as modellers and really had some rubbish non related stuff on them. NSWDEM was a private group and kept on focus by the moderators. The theme was NSW modelling 1975 to 1995.</msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight"><br /></msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight">As time went on Aaron Denning come on board and has been one of the main driving forces behind NSWDEM since. Dave and Aaron then carried NSWDEM over to Facebook and it has grown since with at last check 646 members. There is a great pool of knowledge on the group with member always happy to share tips and tricks with plenty of Q&A.</msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight"><br /></msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight">This brings us to the running day. A social gathering of members mostly organised by Aaron Denning. From memory this is a fourth annual run day which has been kindly hosted by the Epping Model Railway Club. The club providing the venue, a couple of exhibition layouts to run our trains on and a sausage sizzle for lunch. The door entry of $10.00 would go to the club for kindly offering their facilities for the day. </msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight"><br /></msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight">This year was a little different as we had an invited layout visiting called Stockinbingal from Wagga. The club also provided their layout Binalong which has featured at all the run days and has been a favourite with the Up line being DC and the down line DCC. Everyone could run on it. Stockinbingal was only DC so some members couldn't run on it. Over the day we had around 60 members come and enjoy the atmosphere.</msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight"><br /></msreadoutspan></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><msreadoutspan class="msreadout-line-highlight msreadout-inactive-highlight">A couple of other features for the day was a room setup for watching DVDs from our era of modelling and the Raffle. The Raffle has grown to quite a thing. Mostly thanks to the work of Aaron Denning. At the Rose Hill show a couple of weeks earlier Aaron went around to many of the retailers/producers and mustered up a number of raffle prizes for the run day. It has got to the point where there is basically a raffle prize for everyone that attends no matter how small it may be. This year it ranged from a 70 class, Pay Bus, packs of rollingstock, books, magazine subscriptions down to a container or small detail part. A very good effort on the part of Aaron and the sponsors of all this great stuff.</msreadoutspan></span></div>

I really did enjoy the day. I spent most of my time running on Stockinbingal, talking to Rodney Smith who bought the layout to the run day. Rodney also by chance won the NRY that I weathered in the raffle, so I was please with that. One thing that I did note was a few of our model producers were on site enjoying themselves. Steve Pracy from SDS was there, he also helped greatly with the event by paying for the hall hire for the day so the Epping club wouldn't have to. He also was behind Stockinbingal being on hand. I noted also Craig Hill from OTM's. Ian Ratcliffe from IDR. Keiran Ryan from KRM and of coarse Aaron Denning from IFM's. If there was others I just cannot think of them for now. It was great having them there as plenty of ideas etc could be bounced around and they could see their wares in action. </div>

<br />
Well some of you may remember my first ever Blog. I related to my work on a Ian Lindsay Model's CLX/NLCX Kit. I had placed a On Track Models Chassis from one of their LLV RTR Models under the ILM's CLX Kit. I never really finished that model but it is now painted waiting weathering. It looked good at the time as there was no real better options to Model a NCLX.<br />
<br />
Over time Auscision announced that they were working on their JLX/NLJX product so I shelved the ILM's Kit waiting to see what they would come up with. It was pretty dam good so my thought process started on converting one of these into a NLCX. So what I can say, it was a success. The Auscision model addressed many short comings of the ILM body sides. The most obvious being the off centre doors. It also introduced rivet detail in the body which is simply achieved with injection moulding. Anyway here is the end results-<br />

It was sacrificed and a OTM's LLV. The LLV body may live on as a farm shed? The chassis from the NLJX will live on as a NCRX when I get around to it. So for two items of rollingstock I will be getting two back in other forms and a farm shed.</div>

I could not ignore some missing detail around the underfloor so this was added using styrene strip.</div>

I find one of the easiest methods for adding styrene is to spot it with super glue and handle as a long piece. I then cut it down to size with a sharp razer blade after the glue has set. I would do three at a time cut to different lengths as to give room to work and when stuck, cut to size. The off cuts were then reused for the next three till they were too short to work with.</div>

Other than the styrene work, the only other parts added that are not from the original models was the Brass Air Hoses and the brake rigging support just next to the brake wheel. That was from AR Kits brake parts. The Bogies are from AR Kits with Auscision P88 Wheels fitted. The coupler is a Kadee 58. The uncoupler bar is from the LLV. I used a Kadee red washer to adjust the height and give the wheels a little more clearance from the underfloor. I also hollowed out the cut off's on the 2CG Bogies as an added detail. SEM brake shoes have been added to the bogies.</div>

<br />
Got my hands on one of these the other day and I must say I am impressed.<br />
<br />
Usually when I get a new ready to run wagon, first thing I do is change the bogies over to that from AR Kits or SEM's. The bogies that SDS are producing are excellent and match in with my kit bogies really well. I find that many of the RTR bogies are two thick and the wheel journals stick out to far. This to me stands out among a rack of wagons esp. when you look down on them at 45 degrees. As I am in the process of changing everything over to P88 wheels, the wheels on this are not an issue.<br />
<br />
They come with KD58's as well so I don't need to change them out either. Pretty much all there is to do is weather.<br />

There is a bit of an issue with different coloured yellows between Manufacturers but weathering will mask this. I don't know who maybe right or wrong, I don't really care. They all faded and weathered over time. This would only be of note if you were running them straight out of the box.</div>

Hi Guy's<br />
<br />
I travelled down to Sydney last weekend and attended the Annual Model Railway Show that the Epping Model Railway Club puts on. This year at Rose Hill Gardens Race Course in Sydney. It was a great show and I believe it will be or is the premier exhibition going ATM. It was a great day and I really did enjoyed catching up with many friends throughout the hobby. It was good to get out as home has been a challenge with a big Cancer scare involving my Wife Amanda really upsetting the apple cart. Thankfully it appears they got it all and we can get back to some normality.<br />
<br />
One thing that I did notice in the Auscision Cabinet was two test shots of HO scale BDX/NOBX open wagons. They are a good choice to produce Ready to Run as they were plentiful on the NSWR system dating back to the Steam Days and there is still some heavily modified versions running today as container wagons and infrastructure wagons such for concrete sleeper traffic. It is a bit hard to tell but the underframes are much the same as built.<br />
<br />
This raised a question in my mind? I have about 11 AR Kits NOBX wagons in various stages of Kit Build. What to do? What strikes me with the Kit is that it has allot of potential to be a great looking model. For when they were first produced by AR Kits in the 80's, the detail in the sides was really good. The rib detail inside the body was a real stand out. Today this detail is finally becoming standard among the producers and is expected when a new model comes out and I am sure the Auscision BDX/NOBX project will have this as have the AOOX/NODY projects of past.<br />
<br />
This brings me to mine. I have pretty much completed 4 AR Kits NOBX's. My goal with these was to bring them up to a detail standard that could have them running around with my abundance of RTR Rollingstock. The detail on RTR from most manufacturers is pretty hard to match by most modellers and I struggled with these. I started these about 3 years ago. Doing a bit here and there. I did some of the work at work so to speak. I did allot of sleep over shifts at work and when I couldn't sleep I would have a little modelling tool box and set up and do some modelling. Just the building as I couldn't use paints on site.<br />
<br />
One big aim was to build up the Bolster area as this is one area that is real deficient. This was all styrene work and while I was at it the angles of the fish belly was corrected. There was allot more brake detail added using AR Kits and SEM's parts. Shunters steps and grab irons were added using brass etch ladder and wire. Also I added the 4x2 floor board detail inside the wagon by scribing 15 thou styrene sheet and the end boards using 6x2 styrene. Later I worked out that I should of used 8x4 for the ends as there is only 6 boards on each end and not 8. Anyway photos explain things better than I can so here we go- <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Weathering on this NOBX was based around the wagon below. I also added extra door detail such as the door that had been replaced with that from a type 2 NOBX. It has extra tie rails on it. So far I have only done the type 1 as AK kits produced and haven't attempted the type 2. The different tie rails are probably the most notable difference but when you get down to it the underfloor has many differences which I am not going to go into till I work on one. It will be interesting to see if Auscision do both types and the CCX version too?</div>

The difference with adding the bolster detail and correcting the fish belly can be seen in the next photo. Adding the bolster detail gets rib of the air that you can see above the bogie. This is a detail that is catered for in most RTR models coming out.</div>

It was an enjoyable project. Anyone looking for a modelling project to test their skills in this environment of RTR it comes out looking the goods. I will most likely finish the other several that I have and I don't think I will be replacing them with Auscision ones. Maybe I will change my mind when I see the RTR first hand. Anyway at $32 or there about for the kit, It is a cheaper option as long as I don't add labour cost to it.</div>

<br />
Firstly I would like to wish everyone a happy new year<br />
<br />
I know I had promised some more activity on my Blog. It will be coming.<br />
<br />
Something that has just happened is the end of Intermodal work for Aurizon. When it all started back around 2004/2005 as Queensland Rail National (QRN) it added some real interest on the North Coast Line through Taree. Plenty of Colour and Loco's that had never been up here before. I put allot of thought into modelling QRN back then and I started to collect some items. Due to my lack of funds to feed my hobby, I decided against this and stuck to my 1990/1994 time period. Anyway here is a photo essay of some of the earlier QRN stuff on the coast. Please enjoy<br />

<br />
Just a quick one. Here is a way that I have been replacing and adding shunters steps to my rollingstock. RTR rollingstockstock is always improving and some of the latest stuff has this issue of easily broken and snapped off plastic shunters steps addressed with metal steps. This is great but to address the issue of replacing the plastic steps in a cost effective way, I am using simple 2/26 staples from the kids pencil case. I have some photo's that go a long way to describe the process rather than boring you all with heaps of words.<br />

Next time I will put the bend in the staple before </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
trying to bend the step back to straight on the model</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the staple proved pretty hard and caused some </div>

damage to the model. I repaired this and continued on</div>

Next step was to add some 1x2 (8102) Evergreen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
strip Styrene to the steps. This is to represent the</div>

angle iron that the step is bolted onto the wagon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The angle iron would be welded to the wagon so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that if a step was damaged it could in most cases</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
be replace with bolts rather that a welding job.</div>

I ran the styrene along a bead of superglue and</div>

<br />
I haven't been doing much rail photography lately. I have been probably averaging one Train per Month for the last year or so. When SCT started to run their own trains up the coast near the start of this year most of my rail photography outings have been based around recording this train. I am happy with what I have now. Maybe if they start running the CSR locos on this train I will get out again to get something different rather than the SCT loco's<br />

As the SCT train remains relatively short, I have taken the opportunity to record the entire consist. Could be handy for someone that wants to Model the train without having to make it 15 metres long. These side on shots have not been edited other than cropped. So please feel free to copy them for future use if you are interested. All the code boards should be legible when you look at the full Res. files. I wish that 25 years I had this digital technology as to record a train this way was just not possible with film. This Train ran on Sunday 18th February 2017 as 7BM9 seen at Mount George</div>

<br />
Just a quick one, Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Life has been busy for myself and my family. I had a Hernia Operation about a month ago, all went well and I am back on my feet. Over Christmas, new year I spent allot of time working on my layout. All the bench work is up and in place, all the staging is in place and wired. All the track is laid with code 100 track. I have done this so I could get trains running but will relay the scenic parts of the layout when funds allow with Code 83 and 70. <br />
<br />
Having Trains up and running has really helped in getting an idea of how the operation and scenery will fit in as I keep going. It has also given me new ideas. The Idea of modelling Killawarra is dead ATM. I will revisit this with a possible Exhibition Layout in the future. I have some good ideas for this but will require a Layout of up to 10 metres in length. My 5.4 Metre long room could not do it justice. Another metre may of done it but my home layout will be freelance with a couple of small scenes picked out to model curtain areas such as a bridge that I am familiar with.<br />
<br />
Now as I work on my ideas, I am not going to go into the layout on my Blog as yet. I am not sure why I am taking this approach for now, I just want to work on and keep my ideas to myself till I have worked it out. They are changing all the time and maybe I just feel I will be wasting my time going through each thought process. I am nearly there so hopefully there will be plenty on my blog about this soon. I am enjoying watching trains run so for me the hobby is starting to bring me some relaxation. <br />
<br />
Last year I put my hand up to be a presenter at this years Modelling the Railways of NSW Convention 34 at Loftus TAFE. I had never tried something of this scale before. I had never put together a Power Point Presentation before. So there was a couple of first. My presentation was titled Making Ready to Run Rolling Stock Your Own. This was a discussion on my experiences with working to RTR rolling stock to suit my era of modelling the NSW north coast during the early 90's. I worked on a number of projects to for my presentation which I will also share on this Blog. I am just finishing off these so I can put the full story together. I am nearly there so stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Here is some previews<br />

Some of you may remember my first ever Blog. It was about kit bashing an ILM's NLCX fitting it with a LLV floor from a RTR OTM's LLV Van. As nice as it was looking, I sat on the project with the Knowledge that Auscision were working on a NLJX. As soon as I have this van painted and weathered I will have it's full story here. I am real proud of the work on this and it looks great.</div>

<br />
This is going to be a discussion on the new AQSY container wagons that I just received in the last week or so from Auscision. They appear to be a nice model and they are a reasonable representation of the prototype. Many years ago I looked at Scratch building a couple of these and went about buying 2 Laser Cut kits from Rail Motor Models in Victoria at the time. This was just the basic cuts to start what would be a scratch build, and the level of detail would depend on the modeller. This got to a point and was left.<br />

This AQSY I gave a slight dusting and placed it on SEM bogies. A lightly weathered pair of SDS 28 foot containers have been added and make a nice load for this wagon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is as far as I got with the scratch build. Since Auscision's nice Die Cast model there doesn't seem much point in continuing?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I was looking into scratch building these, I was living up at Ballina at the time and a member of the Northern Rivers Fussy Modellers Group for a couple of years. I learnt allot from this group of gifted modellers and was fortunate to be able to copy a heap of their research info while there. So it is good to have a model come out that I can go over photo's and make an assessment of issues arising and whether it would be worth while to fix any errors or let it go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First from Auscision's own web page there were 455 of these wagons built, from 4 manufacturers. There is a number of differences between these. I guess the most obvious would be the oval hole vers. the square type hole version. There is also some variations among the Square hole version, mainly around the sizes of some on the holes. ATM the only visual issue I can see is the bolster detail on the side sill of the Square holed wagons appears to be the same as the oval hole version. This could be a point of added some extra modelling work if you were inclined. I don't think many would notice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
From the photo's I have, I think most of the Square holed wagons have this type of detail on the side sill at the bolsters. The model I have has what I can gather something similar to the oval Shaped bolster detail. A bit of styrene work and this could be corrected</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only other area that I feel the model is let down is under the wagon around the bolster area. The frame should run through this area but appears to shallow off, perhaps to allow for the 22 inch minimum turning Radius promised buy the manufacturer. This is another area that a concerned modeller could go to work</div>

Under the prototype you can see how this area differs to the model</div>

It appears that Auscision have used the same Factory as they did for their ABFX/AOOX projects. Unfortunately having reasonably accurate underfloor detail just doesn't seem to be a priority of this factory when you compare it to other factories work such as the NLKY's and NLDF's as an example. Not that it makes this project look bad. It is just a bit of a let down when other projects come out better. It just goes to show the great work done on the NLDF's and NLKY's ETC. I don't know the story of why detail around the bolster was not added, the only thing maybe a restraint on the weight of the die cast model or bogie movement. At the end of the day it gives a modeller something that they can add to the model if they want to. It is not something that can be seen while the model is running, like a bad roof profile etc. The only reason for me to mention it, is that compared to other factories that Auscision is using, I think this one is letting them down in this area. On the plus side is they come with genuine KD 58 type couplers so I don't need to replace mine. I am putting KD 58's on all my new projects now to replace most Scale couplers that come RTR. As good as they are don't take well to being painted. KD's don't seem to be troubled by paint.</div>

It is a good representation of the Prototype, it is strong and things won't fall off the model without misadventure. There is a couple of short comings, If a modeller wanted to go about correcting these items, it would make the model your own. They are still out running and for my era there wouldn't be many container trains running around that didn't have at least one variant of this wagon on it. The 4 that I have will be welcome among my fleet of container wagons.</div>

Just to finish, some detail shots of the new Auscision Southern Aurora Cars. I only got the Spirit add on set and the XPT test Baggage Car as that was all I needed for my Grafton Passenger. The XPT test car will be painted back to a normal baggage car and the power car will have some mods. done. The NAM was sold off. More about this latter.</div>

This Auscision NLKY was a little project that I have worked on. I have always wanted to represent one of the type two NLKY's that had some of it's Louvered panels replaced. It took me a little while to research the source of the replacement louvers as I don't have real access to the prototypes that are still running. The best that I can work out is that they are louvers from the type one NLKY's, but grouped all the way down the side of the panels instead of just and the bottom and top. To get the look I did cut up an Auscision Type one to get the required panels for the project. I swapped a weathered one for one in original condition off my mate Dave Porter for the project. All least it will save my for weathering one of his at a later date. It took parts from 5 panels to make up each insert.</div>

I had a go at weathering the roof of this Auscision WBAX. This U.S. Box Car type roof really lends itself to some weathering that you might otherwise see on US outline Box Cars. Anyway my approach was using fine brushwork with Floquil Paint. Some of the colours were mostly based around Box Car Red darkening some with Southern Pacific Greys.</div>

Same approach with this Auscision NLJX. I think in my last Blog I had a shot of this wagon Airbrushed only. This is the result after some brush work to get some rust spots happening. I have also added some shunters steps and new lifting points.</div>

This is one of Greg Riddel's AR Kits NCBX wagons that he let me take a couple of shots of. It was for my own reference as I am doing one of these up myself. So why not share the photo's</div>

This is a selection of some of my Railphotography over the last few months. With some of the PN 82 class loco's entering back in intermodal work, the seeming boring PN trains have had some interesting combos of late. Anyway here is some pics, I am not going into any detail so please just enjoy</div>

<br />
Last time I was on my Blog, I promised that there would be a little bit more activity. Sorry this has been so. I have been working on a few projects, but haven't been able to get anything finished. Anyway here is a couple of bit-n-pieces lately.<br />

Greg Riddel invited me up to his place at Kempsey to see the progress he has made on his layout. Greg is really getting that lower NSW north coast line look on his layout that I have nic-named Beyond Yumbunga. </div>

The first 3 photo's in this set have had various degrees of editing done. This Last shot has no real editing other that colour balance and density. Mostly the other shots have had trees added. Greg already has 60 trees on his layout and this doesn't come close to what he needs. At lease I can plant some with my editing program.</div>

My latest purchase from Auscision is very nice. The NSWR JLX/NLJX Louvre Van. I can't really pick any issues with these that stand out so it is a winner as far as I am concerned.</div>

Some of you may remember my very first blog which was about this ILM's NLCX that I had fitted with an OTM's LLV chassis. Well that project had not progressed since that blog and that was mainly due to the reason that I new the NLJX was on Auscision's hit list. Now that it is here, I realised that using the Auscision NLJX Body to make up an NLCX was a far better option. It will be real nice when finish and be up to todays RTR standard in detail.</div>

<br />
Just looking and it has been over 6 months since my last post on my Blog. I have had allot going on at the moment. When ever things are looking up, there has been something to bring me down. Earlier in the year I had myself a good case of the shingles. I wouldn't wish that on any body. Then more recently I had Whooping Cough. That was a bugger of a thing too. I have also had some issues with my eyesight which has affected me the most. Eyesight for me now is not a sure thing and this has basically put me in a deep depression which has been the hardiest thing for me to deal with. With plenty of Family issues such as my Father in Law having a Stoke and now working full time, Modelling has just not been happening for me atm. This is much to the frustration of a few people that I have projects to finish off for, but I guess I am the most frustrated of all. <br />
<br />
Anyway enough of that!<br />
<br />
Modelling?<br />
<br />
I had a pack of Auscision NLDF news print Vans show up today. They are real nice. I can't wait to weather them up. Just took some quick photos to show the detail up close. Auscision have been making leaps with their latest rolling stock. One new feature in their latest rollingstock is all metal shunters steps and brake wheels. Plastic parts such as these always broke off on previous models and this new detail is very welcome by this modeller.<br />

Photo's tell the story, another fine model from Auscision. Also a little while ago Auscision released their WBAX Project. I will talk more about these at a later date as I tackle the weathering. These are a real challenge to weather realistically. </div>
