  1. I will take full responsibility for said mistake, as I got my facts confused when I made that comment. You are absolutely correct about the sides being curved in on the 1935 tenders as well as the 1928s. Brain was definitly switched off that day!
  2. Loves Sydney weather. Sunny one day, then pouring for the next 2-3

  6. Can't get enough of 'In A Gadda Da Vida' and 'Sunshine of your Love' at the moment, even though they were made about 30 years before me!

  7. The LNER Gresley 8 wheel tenders had drophead buckeye couplers on the back, as shown in this picture:http://www.flickr.com/photos/43956756@N08/7030347249/in/photostream/, and Flying Scotsman's tender is 1928 built Corridor type #5325. I am very tempted to buy the Apple Green Version of this, but I have at least 5 other things on my list, and simply can't afford it at the moment (although there is always birthdays...) Fantastic review, and I can't wait to see more.
  8. Having thoughts about entering the 2012 Scratchbuilding Challenge with the original Leader, an LNER A5/3, Bittern's water tender or something a bit more......interesting.

      looks like I'll do the water tender and the 'other item'

  9. I have heard a rumor that today the DP2LT has recieved the frames for Cock o' the North...........

      Its nice to think that in 10 years or so there could be 2 P2's on the main line.

      Take TWO Cocks to the North?!...;-p

  10. Having fun designing that pesky second tender for Bittern......

  11. Looking good Ian. I always thought these were a bit weird, but they are starting to grow on me after watching this build!
  12. My condolences go out to the family of Alan Pegler for their loss, and to the Railway Preservationists, having lost one of their founding fathers

  13. I think I have figured out how to make the second tender for Bittern, but it's not going to be easy

      which version?

    2. 69843

      69843

      will have to see, as I think I might just have enough styrene to start construction ASAP

  15. What a fantastic model of a proposed locomotive. Can't wait to see her in there (in three months due to slowness of distribution...my 'new issue' is #165 February 2012!) Would love to see this next to 71000, a Britannia and a 9F for comparison
