georgeT Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 As soon as you've built the M7, Dapol will probably bring it out RTR and DCC for just two hundred sods. hahahaha Thats a point Mate, didn't think of that, cant see it though as they have done BR - LMS - SR so maybe it will be GWR - LNER next time...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2018 George The wagon looks far better than the ones I built for a colleague. I finished them and they run (and he's weathered them) but they didn't look anywhere as tidy as yours does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello Ray, Not bad kits for £30 each, nice brass clean castings not as easy as l thought but l got there in the end the first is a Catfish and the next will be a Dogfish, as l want to make a ballast train up l already have three Grampus to make yet and then l guess l will need a Shark ? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium airnimal Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2018 George T, good to meet you today at the Chapel show. I have admired your work on these pages for a good while now. I too prefer to model by myself at home rather than sitting around drinking tea at the local model club. I have found in the past that most model clubs that no more than about 10% of the members do anything with the rest there just to chat. Below is my latest loco as yet unfinished. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nice chatting to you too Airminal its always great to meet RM Webbers face to face, thanks for the kind words, by the way thats a fine looking loco you have built, something about pre-grouping locos...
