The Mk1 looks great so far - how strong is it, given that it's huge and has all those window cut-outs?

I should add that I've really enjoyed these videos - something about blue diesels in the garden being so unexpected, perhaps

Very steady camera work too... I presume that it was "filmed 05/07/10" rather than in June as stated . Great way to complete the detailed progress reports. I'm looking forward to seeing it painted and finsihed. Do you plan for a rake of these? Good thing to have in the garden... a rake

Will its incredibly strong, If I hold both ends I cant twist it along its length or even get it to flex. Mind you there is around 12 sheets of plasti-card in it so far. Unlike the prototype the seating is structural forming ribs (3 sheets of plastic in the seats alone.

Jon, yep filmed 05/07 where did June go !!! as for a rake, I think the only one I will be having is for the lawn !! The thoughts of doing that many windows again !! Unless It was a train made up of a single suburban and and a parcel van (No windows!)
