I like that a lot and have just read all the posts. I want too build a model of 1300 which ran on the Hemyock branch and was very similar to this so thanks for sharing your build.

I hope my blog helps to give you inspiration with your forthcoming build.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the kind comments again.

It only seems like I work fast, in reality it's not like that. The entries for these last three projects have all been made retrospectively.

I took these  photos as the models progressed. They were originally posted on another well known railway modelers forum but they failed to arouse much interest there, largely I think because it seemed to me that the members were more interested in 'playing trains' than building models.

At first I was hesitant to post on this forum due to the high degree of knowledge and modeling skills exhibited, but now my own skills have improved slightly I thought I'd 'have a go'. So future blogs will probably be at a more normal pace.

Steve at Narrow Planet does seem very helpful, he emailed me concerning the DF plates just to make sure he had the right info.

Hi there,

Thanks for the kind offer, I already have three photos, the one I've used for this project is of the pre - GWR rebuild  I also have two copies of the pro-rebuild photos. From what I've seen most of the kits are based on the updated version, only one kit build photo I've seen depicting this earlier version.
