Okay folks, this war time brown on the clerestories, does anyone know acompany that produces it, or is it a case of Swindon's laziness, one pot of cream, one pot of brown and mix thoroughly. Thanks Derek

Now I've been going through your posts on the H33's, as I'm putting brass sides on an old Hornby donor and the Comet sides came with an underframe diagram showing them carrying two gas cylinders set along the axis of the coach. Have I put them on wrong or put a spanner in all your good works Derek

I wonder if anyone has noted R4680 is RH, R4686 is LH, same model different livery. To my understanding van end was handed corridor facing. To me R4680 has the wrong description. Am I wrong? Please help, I intend to purchase 60 of these coaches, there are a need for more RH in rakes than LH

Hi WBF, If your still looking for an excuse to load Cromwells onto your warwells, there was two depots in Belgium that kept a lot of older armoured vehicle. After the Cromwells went out of service with the TA, some were shipped back to UK, they were up gunned and a lot of other things and they became Charioteers. The govmt at the time flogged them to a number of countries, Jordon and Austria spring to mind, there were other places too. They would have come into the country at the Miliary port Marchwood, near Soton, and transported to various Royal Ordnance Factories. Hope that's of use. Got my order from Shapways, huge box for 2 ramp wagons and 4 warwells, excellent products, keep up the good work Cheers

The document that first got me on the road for details on the ramp wagon http://movcon.org.uk/History/Documents/DID/D-MCHS%200140.htm Scoll to near the bottom there is a simple diagram showing the axle seperated from the wagon, only side view though but it may help. IT looks like a simple slide held in place with retaining bolts. On another matter, your green for painting the wagons, up to the point when some fool invented "radar reflective paint", as if that worked, the military used to use a very nice "shiny" green, always shiny can't bull a dull paint. I aways knew it as Mid Bronze Green. The Land Rover dealer may be able to get this, Coded as RTC 4042 T GREEN. That's the expensive way, if you only have a need for one or two vehicles, the other alternative is a day out at one of these vintage military vehicle rallies, theres normally one or two traders selling all the different colours over the years. They normally sell it by the quart, it will need thinning, should out live you, its very stable, but the bronze does collect at the bottom.

Loving your work, the ramp wagon looks well, you may think this like asking for the cherry as well as the cake, but what about it ramp wagon with its axil removed and the buffers folded. would that be a major redesign
