  1. Could anyone advise me on what to use to make some glazing, to fit sealed split headcode boxes. I've used Shawplan brass components to convert the Acurascale 37001 with it's headcode boxes sealed. These are now fitted and painted, even used a fine tip pen to highlight the raised rubber seal that was used to hold the glazing in place, but now I'm stuck, as not sure how to get some glazing to look flush with the rubber seals. How have other modellers overcome this issue?
  2. My 37001 arrived yesterday, cracking model no doubt, but has anyone had issues with the sand pipes hanging too low that they get dragged back underneath the fuel tanks?
  3. Could my layout of Horncastle be added to the list please. A Lincolnshire terminus modelled as if it had survived into the 1980s.
  4. For anyone in the North Lincolnshire this weekend, Horncastle will be appearing at Caistor Model Railway show.
  5. It's time to give the layout it's first outing, and it happens to be at the town it is based on. The Horncastle branch closed in April 1971, and to mark 50 years since the closure of the line, the Horcastle History and Heritage Society are holding an event at the Joseph Banks Centre on 14th and 15th August. More details can be found on the flyer. Horncastle End of the Line Exhibition Poster.pdf
  6. The extension board is nearly completed, warehouse has been painted, weathered and guttering added. It was then fitted in position, and the greenery added to blend it in. 2 street lights have been temporarily added, but will need to be removed to tone down the shiny finish.
  7. Like the look of that Ben, good excuse to build some more VEA vanwides too.
  8. Work is progressing well on the extension board. The warehouse is built, but requires painting, and the window frames have been spray painted away from the building. The road and path in front of the warehouse has been formed using coving adhesive, which took a bit of fettling to get it to meet the height of the existing goods platform. Now to find those paint brushes!
