That's turned out rather nice Mark.

 

Particularly like that first shot...some nice weathering once again

 

What's happened to the Shakatak CD now it no longer has a box?

Whooooooo! Before my time Pete-Honest!

 

Well ok-it was my Best of Steps CD. 

 

As for Shakatak-well thats a blast from the past.  May have to see if I've the 12 inch extended remix somewhere in the stash of dodgy 1980's records in my parents loft.

 

Thanks for the comments too.

 

Cheers,

That Airfix/Dapol kit is so good. I know about the roof and the ducket height but you have demonstrated its potential.  Will the Bachmann and Hornby ones be around in 50 years time I wonder?

 

On a different subject entirely, I do like Juniper Hills fences.

Thanks Alex,

 

Totally agree with you and about the Dapol/Airfix kit-it does scrub up well with a bit of work. I've the BR version to complete which is sat in front of me.

 

I guess the Bachmann/Hornby ones will still be around in 50 years time-will the Dapol kit be around though?

I reckon the moulds for the Airfix/Dapol kit will wear out before someone produces a better model, so it might not make its century.

 

Did you change the buffers, or are those the ones in the kit?

Morning Alex,

 

The bufffers are the kit ones with replacement turned buffer heads fitted.

 

Again for an LNER example they may be the wrong type.

 

Cheers,
