Yes it is you just pop it out, that does come in handy and makes it easier.

Pictures Jeff, on the western thread on rmweb some one did it to there's and the visual difference was clear to me so I had to do it as well. I used the front end shot of D1000 I put up earlier in this thread.

LOL...I've just tracked back to that pic. DIRECTLY underneath it, you said: "I think the headcode box needs moving up a couple of mm too but I'm not going to start carving the front up..."
I've saved both pics so I can look at them side by side, hope you don't mind?
Edited to say: flicking back and forth, I think you are right.

No problem Jeff, yes I was a bit reluctant but having seen some one else tackle it it had to be done.

I've built the second cassette board for Canton today so besides the legs and a bit of paint that project is finished.
Only 6 weeks until the Newport O gauge show and then all the focus will return to Ranelagh Bridge.
The last bits for the Hymek should be with me soon so I can get that loco finished.
I've received the final pictures from Chris Nevard and suffice to say they are superb. I will get a few of them printed and framed to go on the wall on the railway room. Keep a nice reminder of my first proper O gauge layout around me.
I can't share them for obvious reasons but they will be in Model Rail for all to see in the coming future.

I'm sorry - but if anything deserves a proper quality oak plank instead of ply, it must be Old Oak.....surely only the best will do.

Went down to Williton yesterday and took some detail pictures around D7017 and the two Warships D821 and D832. I have put them up on my Flickr site, hope they are of use to you all detailing your Heljan 7mm Hymeks!

Crikey, what scale is that layout behind with the signal sticking out!!
It's actually on the floor below.

That piece of ply standing up underneath will become old oak approaches. Might even get it framed up next week
