This week has been absolutely frantic with the Head of the house making unreasonable demands and therefore modelling time has been very limited.

However, attached are photos of three vehicles finished this week.

[They are a LBSCR Craven Family/Luggage carriage from the late 1850s and a LBSCR Open

Third of the 1840s. Both are kits from 5 and 9 Models and following my way of doing things, both the 1840s Open and 1850s Family carriage have been fitted with real mahogany steps and running boards, which I weathered to show how that wood fades when exposed to the weather. These mahogany strips can be obtained from any supplier of veneers

The third is a model of the ‘Cavell’ PBV number 132 as used to return the body of Nurse Edith Cavell to London after the First World War.

Transfers on the two early vehicles are from the Brighton Circle, and those on the PBV are from Fox transfers, although I think the white shading on the figure 1 on the PBV is a bit too thick.

I have also put up three photos of SECR Carriages under the following topic

That has been all I have achieved this week. Doesn’t it make your heart bleed!
