Ooooh, those are nice. It's good to see some progress on this project James, especially as pts 1 and 2 gave me the nudge to start my little project. Glad to see that you didn't let modeller's block get a grip. I hope I can pick up some tips for when I get to the underframe on my type 5 project.

Thanks Jon - if you look in my other blog tonight you'll find a little bit of thanks for helping out with that chain too as although the Shed has stalled the Tractor is still ticking over!

Um, Wow! What a start. The Canon and Co bits are exquisite - a pity they don't make them half as big

I'd never have thought of removing the upright stanchions on the underframe - despite being a fiddly replacement, it would make fitting the pipework much easier! Lovely stuff

Thanks! Yeah they are equisite - I've had to bodge them around as they're HO so I needed to 'stretch' some of them a bit. Should look ok with a coat of black and weathered!
