Hi David, Do these help you at all? If you need a larger version for reference, just PM me. Rich

What a treat. Like Dave I very much like that low-level shot of the station area. Also some interesting views of the mirror trick, which works very well I think.

It does look like an interesting build. Very pretty too, will look good on a BLT

Hi Dave, glad you found the foil tip useful The lead photograph is really atmospheric, those background buildings are wonderfully atmospheric! BW Dave

Too late for the Steamie , Dave. Purdon Street is no more :-) BLK4Y

https://www.humbrol.com/uk-en/media/Humbrol_Conversion_Chart.pdf Have a look at the Army Paints range, I got some spray cans in Antics, which are excellent and give a superb finish, one of the greens is very passable to Malashite.

Al, some time ago, Humbrol rationalised what was then a vast range of specialist colours. They also produced an updated list of their colours, which included all the things that they matched....... something like Green 101, SR Malachite etc ....ok that's a guess but it's worth having a Google and I'm sure you'll get the list of colours and what they match up to.

An addition to St. E's comment..what gauge is the track supplied. 16.5mm or wider?

Are you going to build the transporter as a working model James?

I'm inclined to agree, I'm wondering if I can find a way to model the end wall and some of the 'outhouses' to give me two distinct 'photo locations' David

Hi westernviscount, Cambrian kits can be difficult, nearly every one throws up quirky requirement. All except the Sleeper Wagon which was easy. Anyway the Dogfish is now all together, less couplings as I've run out of my Bachmann standard. I'll probably pinch the NEM pockets and couplings off another wagon, pending Bachmann ever returning them to the market place !! The chassis is still flat, no diagonal rock so should be a reliable runner particularly as it's fitted with Hornby wheel sets and their deeper flanges. At 18.5 grams it's a bit on the light side, but being an engineers wagon it wouldn't be running in a long freight Photographed alongside one of my Catfish ballast wagons I used as a reference due to the basic chassis being the same.
