Being forced to take things a little easy this week has allowed me to catch up on a few kits which I have been putting of finishing.

Firstly I have managed to add the transfers to one of our latest kits. The NER/LNER/BR P4 hopper, it went to Telford unpainted and now looks pretty good full painted and lettered. Even if I do say so.

Next on the list was HR/LMS/BR Loco Coal wagon. This one had missed out on Telford as I ran out of time. Not a hard task to finish as it just needed the axle guards, wheels and couplings to be fitted and the transfers adding.

Finally something for me it doesn’t happen that often. Two Telford’s ago I bought a Roxey Mouldings SECR/CR 0-4-0 Crane Tank and things got in the way of building it. The kit is mainly white metal so the hardest parts so far has been cleaning up the small etch and taking some flash off the white metal castings. With the top just requiring a few bits of wire adding and the cab roof fitting, it’s going to make an interesting addition.
