before I throw the towel into the ring on kit building and while my eyes seem to be up to it, I have started an MM1 Class 22. This one, but perhaps not quite as dirty
D6326 Oxford September 69 Slide 1015
No doubt it will spur Dapol on to produce a RTR version in superquick time to coincide with the varnish drying on my effort but if it does, then I will get one for the hell of it.
Slow start in as much as the wheels (Slater's) have been blackened
and trial fitted to the bogies and now that the bearings have had their outside faces filed down, I have a free running pair of bogies and I can consider what type of pick-ups (fitted to both bogies) to go for, with wipers being favourite at the moment. I shall be using a single Slater's GB13 gearbox with a Canon EN22 motor and delrin drive hooked up to a Zimo MX645 decoder with stay alive and a pair of speakers.
More to follow in the not too distant - I hope.
regards
Mike
