Graet news from eRail

As described in the post, there are some parts (as brake pipes that Christo used to serve) that I can't guess if are included and they are necesary to complete the loco. Are you going to serve it?

Could you tell us about the price?

regards

Hello Balkan Express,
Pipes or any other castings are not included, these are common, you can obtain them from Christo or the market.
Only the A220 specific etchings are included, the ones I described.
The cost of the plate unfortunately cannot be less than 30euro.

The problem is that at the moment I cannot have any more produced because of capital controls... :evil:

Here is a few more pictures from what I did yesterday. The addition of the hinges on the side panels and the fuel tank with the gauges added and positioned.

Buffer plates

Marker lights and buffer plates will follow.

Now that I look at it, I must add a third hinge at the high door!

Now the A.223 is finished:

Apreciate Johannes,

how did you made the curved lines in the front ends, by masking them?

Which is the exact colour for that orange one you used?

Are those decals made by yourself?

Regards?

Hello BalkanExpress,

These signs including the white stripe and the "V" are own-designed:

In a second step, these was produced as a rubdown sheet by a specialited company. The same for your Signs for the Ganz-DMU are in stock now ;-)

For the orange colour, i use Humbrol #82 mixed with gloss laquer from the same programme. That matches imho not bad the OSE-Orange.

Mine is almost ready (the one side barrier has to be fixed) thanks to Johannes signs!! I am happy since this is my first attempt ever. I am thinking to do a light weathering later.
