Right Track 4

Detailing and Improving RTR Locomotives & Coaches


 

Following on from the terrific success of the Right Track series, Tony Wright examines what can be done to make the high standard offerings from Hornby and Bachmann even better.

He takes you through the many stages in the process of turning these excellent models into something a bit special.

Modifications covered stretch from the most simple of improvements to the application of full detailing kits from Comet and Brassmasters.

Locomotives examined and improved in detail include a "County", "Britannia", "Black 5", and "Jinty" though many others are featured.

Coach modifications include Pullman Cars and Gresley and Thompson conversions utilising etched brass componenets from Comet and Mike Trice/Dart Castings.

Some coach conversions are so extensive that, if you are building coaches from kits, this DVD would be of great interest to you.

The 3 hours 15 minutes programme is designed to appeal to everyone from the raw beginner to the more experienced.

In short, if you want to improve your locomotives or coaches, this DVD is for you - whatever your experience.

Yesterday Saturday the 13th Nov I received a copy of your DVD Locomotive Kit Building Part 1, as a novice just starting in Model Railway kit building
(after scratch building Military Models for along while and being a design engineer by profession) I was egger to get my copy and I must say I wasn't disappointed in the product I received It if a first class product, informative and to the point.

Well done to all those involved. After watching it a couple of times I could understand exactly the tools I needed to construct a working Locomotive from a Kit.
