Who said NZ120 needs to viewed from two feet away.....
Oh yeah it was the Druff himself.
Well for those of you who like the idea of being able to get a little closer here is a photo of the latest nutter details we have been working on. You may remember I talked about my own Mini Me building a trackgang products Df kit set at the Wellington RailX last November. We got the kits cheap as there a few bits missing like the grills and we talked to Mr trackgang about working on an etch for these parts.
Info and photos were collected from a few good foamer's we know and using the Df Dft and Dx kit we bought a simple set of grill details was designed. The drawings went away just after Christmas to the etcher's and the finished articles arrived back this week.
DFT grills example
The etch is 0.1mm brass and the details are approximately correct.... I think there are one too many bars in each direction so if anyone would like to count them be my guest....
There are 2 grills for the radiator intakes and one for top plus the dynamic brake fan and grill. If you are feeling like a true massacist you could even try making it go round using a simple friction drive :)
These parts will be available from Trackgang very soon and we will have them at the convention too

very nice work! those grills look fantastic. will make a huge difference to the Trackgang kits.
what is the diameter of the fan etching? I could use some 48" (4') ones.
