Kal, Jaz + Co., Just caught up with today's 2 pages, and the modelling here is just superb... Kal's conversion to Kadee is excellent work, and I'm sure Jaz has just photoshopped and resized a picture of a real coal wagon and stuck it behind the 03, it looks SOOOOO realistic... My view on the solebar/footplate/whatever it is on the bottom of the wagon is that It's a typical Hornby inacuracy because it's in the RailRoad range...I have a RailRoad brake van and the underframe is exactly the same, so it could just be them trying to save a few bob on a retool... that's just my opinion....... Ta Jack.

Evening all, I've not had much chance to do anything recently, but I have started a mini project...a Bachmann EWS MTA open ballast wagon. I do like these small engineer's wagons, and have a rake of about 7, all weathered, detailed and loaded...apart from this one... Hopefully it will look like a previous one; I'm also experimenting with tiny neodinium 1mm x 0.5mm magnets to couple brake pipes, as Jim S.W did; And yes I know I don't model P4, but they look very realistic and (Seem) simple to make... Now...I said I'd tell you about the various projects on the go, so here's the first...an EWS cl67 (to become 67017 'Arrow') This is the decoder socket and home made lighting board; Fully detailed bufferbeam (and sprung buffers ) scratch built underframe/air tanks; New Light arrangement; flat cab front awaiting WIPAC light clusters ...And finally...cab hand rails gouged out ready for wire replacements... More soon... Jack

Neil, Superb modelling on both of your layouts... I take it the DRS 57s never turned up then...was looking forward to them... Keep it up... Jack.

Hi Mick...brilliant modelling...loving the silver locos... How's the yellow stuff coming on? And what are your plans for 'Tornado', a NR yellow repaint? Excellent modelling... Thanks, Jack.

Just had a quick 5 mins before tea (toad in the hole......yum!! ) not done anything, just a bit of a tidy up and rearrange as the freightliner 66 and the DRS 57 have been moved off as they only need weathering now...making room for another project.........what'll it be? I'll have a think......... TFN Jack.

Hi everyone, I've decided to start a thread to share my modelling...I'm fairly new on here, but have been modelling for about 7 years, and now have a great selection of modern image stock, which at some point will all get some form of detailing. over the past years though, not much has been done as I was inexperienced and I have moved the workbench 3 times before now, but I am now settled and have more knowledge. So...firstly, the workbench; This has all the tools I need, although my collection is ever growing. I am also fortunate to have a magnetic board at the back to stick up prototype photos. A Bachmann DRS 57; A long term project: a Lima 67; A West Coast ViTrains 47; Bachy Freightliner 66; GBRF Bachmann shed; Hornby MK3 TGS to be NR yellow 977994 track recording coach; And finally...Bachmann nuclear flask wagon; Oh yes...almost forgot... To add to all this, I have a small photo plank, small depot layout/diorama (of which the depot and track and fuelling point and inspection pits are all kit bashed/scratch built), a 6'x4' roundy roundy, and various club projects on the go too Well...rather alot!! I will describe all and the work done on them in due course... If you've read all of this you're a star! More to follow, Jack.

Brilliant modelling...I've got a donor VBA, but need to get it started Have you put lights in it? Jack

Lee, Brilliant modelling...loving the 40's...even though I'm far too young to remember them.... Have you put Maskol around the windows, as they have a red/pink ish tinge to them?? Thanks, Jack

Great videos and modelling David..... IMHO I don't think it makes much difference for the effort involved in doing the whole of D.P.... Loving the vids, what camera/ camera truck setup do you use??..... I'm always a little scared watching when you go through a tunnel, keep thinking you'll crash.... Jack.

Just one more thing.... Dunno whether this is a limestone wagon, but it looks to be a 30' version of yours; I know you've now got yours, but maybe a future project? Ta Jack.

Hi Nick, superb modelling, be great to see how this progresses Here's a few stills of a working I saw last year, with GBRF's 66721 at the helm; Then these....which were parked up at Warrington B.Q. on my last visit; hope these help, sorry for the hijack, Jack.

WOW!!!!!!! THAT TREE!!!!!!! That was truly JLTRT.... Unbelievable If I were you I'd be extremely pleased... ... Please keep it up with more pictures.... Jack

Great vids David.... They're still modern trains..........they still run on modern lines..........nout wrong with a bit of variety........ (How bout 60163 Tornado....that's a real modern 'kettle'..... )

Awesome Jaz....if you take away the mantelpiece, it would be bl dy hard to tell between that and the real one...... I'll dream on..... Jack.

WOW...... Really starting to come together now....you should be well proud B)

What we can't see is the match behind it......when it farts it'll light the fire. What's "it's" name BTW??

Jaz, Those trees really are stunning.......don't think I'd have the patience to do them They'll really look the part once in situ and when done with leaves (unless portrayed in Winter...) Great Modelling. Jack.

Great video David, the tunnel definitely looks right now.... It seems you forgot about the track setter.......DOH!!! (Don't think anyone else noticed........ ) Ta Jack.

Hi all... I've heard that (weather permitting) 70804 is expected to arrive into Liverpool at 09:00 this Wednesday. Thanks, Jack.

Great modelling as always D.T, Just wondering....how you gonna make a 1 aspect light signal that shows red/yellow/green? Tri colour LED's??? Thanks, Jack

Hi Nick, Truly inspirational modelling you do, so professionally done as well! Doubt I'll ever take on an RHTT, and if I do, mine will NEVER be to this standard Jack

I only recently got an account here, but have seen WW before, and I always mistake it for a real photo!! Truly inspirational modelling here, everything you produce is so real! Great work, more photos please! Thanks, Jack

Hi Kal, Jaz & co., Well...I've been reading this thread for a while, and there's some really inspirational modelling mixed in with silliness...although I think the modelling is sooooo good I can put up with the other bit Ta, Jack.

Hi David, Been reading your posts for ages, and there's some brilliant modelling on show here, more pics please! Jack

Hi, Absolutely great modelling here, especially the 150, very clever... Keep those pics coming Jack
