So... where to begin.. i've been active more in truck modelling than railway modelling for a while now but the tired feeling with that has set in because i get to play with very big trucks all day so the inspiration to model them isnt there.. and i always have an urge to "play" trains after visiting an exhibition..

after rooting round in the garage i turned up some old Hornby freightliners and acquired from somewhere a loooong time ago a mendip models freightliner "upgrade" set. all it consists of a selection of whitemetal pieces that allow new and lower mounting points to be created, bar couplings and some buffer beam ends.

so all told this will come to a cost significantly less than a set of those lovely colin craig etched ones! but as the intended use is on a waste container set in the early 90's until the Hornby KFA's surface..

Next job will be some pics..

but today's quick quiz question... where can i source replacement wheel sets...
