spent yesterday evening on 2 kits for a diesel/fuel depot i probably wont ever get round to modelling a Dapol Tank wagon, and the Knightwing diesel shunter

the Dapol kit, being the old airfix model, required a bit of tidying up, nothing major like just some sanding and filing to get the tank halves together proper, yet was finished within 20 mins, added 3 link couplings, then thanks to the brilliantly easy paint scheme 2 minutes to paint and half an hour to dry!

thankfully while it dries i had chance to build the shunter, using a Tenshodo WB35 motor bogie to motorize, the kit went together as per the manufacturers instructions with no problems of clearance or fitting of parts, all in all quite a succesful evenin modelling

Really nice! I've always been a fan of that shunter in both its standard form and the cut down versions that were in vogue a little while back.
