Stunningly good and stunningly small!

I can't get over how detailed that strapping is (is that the right word?) Very nice. Very small.

Do the doors open?

Superb!

I think you could safely say that you're pushing the limits of etching technology!

Is this part of a larger project?

Very impressive EP... what thou is the etching?

What next, Mk1s in T-scale? Hang on, why not Proto-T?

Thats 1 thou stainless steel - it wouldn't play in 2 thou brass. The actual processing was done by PPD, who have done a lovely job on it. Still need to figure out why one or two of the other bits didn't quite make it - I appear to be hitting the limits of the phototooling they produce not of the process.

Horsetan - I believe Adam Warr (Mr Electra) has some mark 1 vinyls for T scale ..

Andy - I'm experimenting with various ideas for doing some T scale stock, and also some N gauge grillework. The 25 grilles look nice but my class 29 grilles have gone a bit odd - more research needed there.

Actually no - the Farish 25 grilles aren't bad - it has other bigger problems (shape of sides to an extent, doors and other bits are more of a problem) plus I've done etched sides for 25/1 and 25/0 conversion to it for ages

No these are to tidy up an Its N Gauge 25/1 resin casting which has the grilles flat in the bodyside rather than raised as they should be

That will be Proto - Type .....

Brilliant stuff! The more British T the better, those track pins are useful buffer wise

Somehow "British T" sounds right.. "More T vicar..."

Paddington in a boxfile - now there's a thought!
