Well it looks like winter is about to come to an end, so its about time to come out of hibernation. I've got some Worsley Works MR Celestory coach kits a couple of years ago, but it wasn't until last week that I finally got the Chris Higgs roofs. Being a bit unsure on the how's of soldering with sides with tumblehome, I took one of the etches with me to the Caulfield model train show and got some hints, tips + advice from one of Ixion team.

After a one hour lesson, I got stuck into 1 coach today, in between playing hide and seek, jumping on the bouncing castle and pushing Master Douglas around the backyard in his pink (originally red, but now sun fadded) car.

Next thing to do, the chassis, and to extend the roof by 3mm.
