Sharking
I spent an enjoyable afternoon at the International N Gauge Show on Saturday, and this Shark kit was one of the items I picked up. I decided to go with an olive green example as a bit of variety in my mostly dutch engineers fleet. Its missing transfers and the plough shields seen on the prototype but I am happy with progress so far. The picture is cruel - at least 4 times the size of the real thing!
I also picked up a sample pack from the 2mm association, with the short length of track seen under the shark above and a 16 ton mineral wagon kit. I've spent the morning today playing with the etches and bodged it together nicely! I don't think I will be jumping on the 2mm bandwagon just yet though, despite the much better looking trackwork and finescale standards. My modelling time and budget are restricted enough and for the moment I am happy pursuing my favourite part of the happy - slapping paint onto wagons! Once my 'N' shunting plank is up and running and the urge to get things moving subsides it will definitely be a high priority for my next project.
