PFLR No. 5 - The DJB Coal Fired Saddle Tank Kit - Part 2

G'day everyone...   I've been working slowly through this kit for a number of reasons, the main one being that I did not want to rush, the other being that I simply had to fit it in around other things.

Hi all,   The first post of some actual modelling! Oh well...   Recently I uncovered a large scale coach that I scratchbuilt back about a year or so ago. Back when I built it I was so proud, despite having no detail, a poor paint job, the roof was crooked and theh fact it slanted to one side, to me it was damn good.   My Roundhouse Stanley and a mixed train, coach visible, with 'Big Dan' fighting with the 3-link chains...he prefers 'Chopper' couplings now...   After ignoring its bad qua
