Sandbox225,it wasn't too hard,but its not as straight forward,i had to run aroud the teeth on the drive sprockets with a needle file toy narrow them also on the idler sprocket too,then glued a small 2mm thick styrene block on top of the carrier roller feeding the idler just to line the track up to the idler
just a few things to file,
they sit pretty good on the track frame and also roll well,no perfect but good enough to pose

Yea you gotta point.. next to the ac 200 and the coming ac 500 not to mention the lg 1750..i was tempted to add a xtra bit of colour but i'm hoping that the irish liviries will be worth waiting for ..but i'm sure the new red and blacks will appear right in front of YOUR blue depot..  Aubrey

you should give a repaint a go,so what if they don't have a 4 axle ac100 it would look cool

Graham, that foxy lad in the white overalls will have to get the sack.. if he's not spending his time falling over he's standing around with his hands on his hips all day.. He's a useless fella altogether!!
