Thanks to the RhB forum I now have an EMs too, just a bit smaller than Phils.

Loved that one Paul - made me laugh so much I had to send the link to the rest of the family (who are sitting around with laptops handy.)

According to a sign I saw In town each year 850,000 people drop there phone in the toilet and 116,000 accidentally wash their phone, so I suppose someone had to wash their loco!

Decision made going to attempt this Maybe not a proper RHB GE44111, But a bashed MOB version

Wish me luck!

Phil, I've got some chrome stuff somewhere that would do that. You get a sheet of the stuff that you rub into place and then trim the excess, a bit like when they apply gold leaf. it's used a lot by car modellers for bumpers etc. I'll dig it out see what it's called.

Mel, Ed, Thanks for the suggestions, but Sandy from DVRR has given me some chrome vinyl wrap, the type sign makers use. So thats going to be my first line of attack.

BTW Anybody got a spare roof for a 44 111 ??? The MOB roof is different

Phil
The pantograph settings are different too but you can alter it on the dip switches according to something I read somewhere so if you don't have the details I would just coppy how they are set in an RhB one
How different is the roof?
