- Making your locos match up to the modern products is easier than you think. Don't be afraid to get stuck into cutting bits off and adding new details. On this episode I wanted to repaint the loco but ended up also adding lots of nice features and a @HornbyModelRailways HM7000 blue and DCC control chip which I purchased from Tony's trains of Rugby
Items I used to detail the project are
Smoke box door handles GWR 5.0mm long (Comet models)
Loco Crew right hand drive (monty's models) visit Dart Castings website for this.
Coupling hooks 2953 (MJT Scale components)
GWR Transfer sheet 7 (HMRS Transfers)
Cab side plates (Fox transfers)
Hornby Dcc Chip HM7000 (Tony's trains of Rugby)
Horby DCC power bank (Tony's trains of Rugby)
Vacume pips (Wizard models)
01:58 HM7000 fitting
04:00 Loco Body modification
06:50 Paint the body
12:20 adding transfers
14:05 HM7000 running
30:00 Light Weathering
30:52 Adding coal
33:18 Club running

Bit late on this one. Fireman.... Irof. A wonderful improvement. Love the content.
A very interesting conversion, Tris. You have an easy-going way of presenting your work. 😊
I like the repaint .. very nice ..
in order adjust the deacceleration the higher the value in cv 4 the longer it will take to stop .. higher the value the quicker it will stop . The same applies in cv 3
Absolutely beautiful job! Honestly sometimes wished you did commission work, because you do some marvelous work and it's so difficult getting the right shade of paint for British locomotives here in the USA. Either way, looking forward to what you'll be working on next! ^^
Thank you , that’s very kind of you to say. I rarely have time to do my own things let alone things for other people but it’s flattering you would say that.
Great paint job
Very smart install there.Kenneth
Hi Tris. Excellent work, one exalted loco. Looks grate .
Great work.... what more can be said.
Tris, you are a legend! I love what you have done to this loco. At their price points there isn't any excuse for moulding lines. Thanks for your enthusiasm and skill. I'm near Rugby on Thursday so hoping to pop into Tony's trains and spend a few quid. Look forward to the next one, take care. 🙏
Thank you David that’s very kind. Say hi to Tony from me 😊 get yourself a loco so you can be entered to the draw 😊
@@OONeal Cheers. Will do. Probably some GWR kits and some rtr wagons, but who knows...😉
I love the Automated Function on the controller. It allows you to run the loco with random sounds.
Great job on the loco. looks great
I don’t have an airbrush, but there are so many shades available in car paint aerosols, that for the moment I’ve had some success in finding good matches.
Great work bringing an old model up to date. Here's hoping that some time soon a new retooled one will be released as I would buy about 4 of them!!!!!
Thank you. That would be great if they did that so I will wait patiently 😊
fantastic repaint, looks great! 🙂
What an awesome job Tris!
It's lovely, like it always looked like that. The added details certainly make a difference. You have reminded me that I have the old Mainline model in GWR green. It looks lovely but doesn't run all that reliably. I feel like I have neglected it so I must get it out of it's box for a service and a bit of a run. Love the 0-6-0 tender locos. 😊
Fantastic repaint! Looks great with the added details too!
Thank you very much 😊
Looks good Tris
Looking good Tris, well done. Runs and sounds well, many thanks for sharing this take care Barry..
Another great video, as always well presented and you explaine your thought process/workings so well. You have inspired me to give this a go on my bachmann manor. thankyou Tris - keep up the great work!!!
Excellent, thank you for saying that. I hope you enjoy your restoration of your loco.
Sir Johnson Mc Johnson the Fireman
Lovely Job think you have inspired me !
Lovely job! Loco looks fantastic 👌
The fire man should be called Pete by the way.....
Really loved the video
Excellent work Tris - I have tried the HM 7000 8 pin and I think they are good value .
Cheers Kev
Cyril the fireman.
Great Job! I’ve been hoping you would do a video as I’ve enjoyed watching your previous GWR alteration videos!
Very good job. She looks great after a repaint. I wish Tamiya would bring out a locomotive green colour...
Excellent job Tris and another great video. Couple of questions if I may.
Do you use a particular brand of paint brushes?
What plan do you have for your exhibition layout now?
Many thanks
Nice work Tris, well done. Groot clearly approved, he was transfixed by what you were doing on the tender. And it's got to be Fireman Sam surely?
Great job with the repaint and detailing. That stay alive certainly works well , kept going for quite a while. I’m not a big fan of sound decoders but Hornby have at least done a good job at a far more reasonable price than the main sound decoders and easy to reprogram with free sound files.
Thank you 😊 yes I think even a normal chip for the hm7000 and a stay alive would be great for smooth running of any locos which may struggle.
Looks great there!
Have not been doing much with CVs, but as I understand:
Acceleration and deceleration curves are opposite, so if you want a longer time to decelerate you need to increase the sliding bar :)
That’s excellent thank you for telling me that!
@@OONeal happy to help, but please let me know here if you managed it, customizable features like that is one of the reasons I'm considering one of those decoders myself :)
Thomas,
Hi Tris, great video! So for the HM7000 did you just hook up the motor wires to power the decoder and leave the speaker connected via its original wires or do you need to add a connection with some of the other wires on the decoder? Thanks!
I own collect class locomotive they are quite nice too look at.
Have ever thought of do a war time black loco they lasted quite a long time after the war
The fireman should be named Bob
I've been watching the progress on Instagram eager to see this video and it was fantastic as per usual!
I'm looking at getting paints for buffer beams, did you use the Vallejo Scarlet Blood for this one?
Great video, the fireman has to be Tony? Regards Steve
The front axle on the tender seems to be dragging a bit at the end there, I just noticed...
Will you be coming to Didcot’s modelling weekend on 22/23 June?
Loco looks lovely . I wonder what the current output of the decoder is , I was thinking for garden railways use as well .
For garden railway, you can use HM7000 wireless control of locos and battery power your locos instead of track power
Tamiya paint is good
Nice work Tris - can't beat an airbrush for finish✌️👍😊 How long did the project take🤔🤔
I was forced to repaint a 7mm Brake Van using brushes recently (my efforts are slow these days as it is), but I brushed on (with a flat sable) two thin coats of primer, then two thin coats of top coat (using Ultimate Thinners) - several days left between each. That way I saved the transfers, added some (wood like) texture and improved the incorrect satin RTR freight grey (looked more like a green). It turned out okay, taking the windows out was nerve wracking.
Thanks for the video, should it be john for the drive
Do you use Vallejo model colour black or game colour black?
What you are doing is sending you the wrong way. Take the standard 15 on deceleration and increase it to 40. Sound files don’t like being below 15 on either setting as it doesn’t have time to react. Good luck Timo.
I don’t even know what your doing, let alone what your doing wrong 😂
I do not understand why Bachmann is so unwilling to sell many of their locos in pre BR colours.
Surely you need to _increase_ the ‘deceleration’, not reduce it…
