New arrivals

[Mohawk Valley]

The first pair of trams (trolleys) arrived at Little Falls works this afternoon. Although in a German livery, they will be re-painted in Mohawk Valley colours of blue and white. The trolley pole will be replaced by a pantograph…I really need several more, so if you have any for sale, please get in touch.
I‘ve temporarily placed a panto on the trailer so I can see what it looks like…very good methinks, and I’m looking into fitting a full screen to them, which will mean the brake handle will have to be changed for a wheel arrangement so it fits properly.

It’s looking good at the moment and as soon as it cools a little, I’ll get them up in the loft for testing…

Any pantos anyone?

Cheers

Martin

Looking forward to hearing about this, Picked up some blue paint from hobby craft (own brand) yesterday to have a play with myself on a few wagons.

As long as it’s the spray paint and not the brush on as that is a Matt finish.

The Mack is painted in Hobbycraft blue with Montana Orme for the off white. #5 steeplecab is also printed in Hobbycraft blue and shown against an original LGB blue coloured loco.

I managed to get into the loft for a short time this morning and do a little testing…this went very well as the size of the station area is just about right for two trams top to tail with two coaches. Sorry but there is no overhead at this section yet, I’ve still got thousands of things to do and I keep on spotting things for sale that are too tempting! Never mind, this plan seems to work ok…until I think of a better one lol.

Oh, the station name will be changing as well, I haven’t got around to doing that yet as everything is still in the planning stage.

Cheers
