Good to hear you are getting back on track Paul. Its been a bit of a rollercoaster for you. I'm kit #12, but not rushing you to have it finished. Plenty to do on other items like working on detailing APT-e and APT-p for a display cabinet, along with your fine kit. Regards, Seán.

Happy Friday Folks!! Work and studies(thankfully finished next Tuesday), have meant I have little or no time to do any model work, but it hasn't stopped my fleet growing in the meantime. I had purchased the Dapol 08 when they came out, but have now added another one. I introduce "Unicorn".

At the moment they will do, but I will be looking to make a more prototypical side frame, and cast resin ones from that. Obviously the front steps and coupler will have to be removed, as they are in the way of the front and rear skirt positions. Bits will be re-positioned as needed. Also toying with swapping the coarse wheels for finer scale ones, but we will see how it runs first.

Well, a little bit of work on a project I have been meaning to start. I am taking a K-Line 3 rail switcher, and hoping to transform it to 2 rail CIE 121 class. K-Line Switcher: Hopefully the end product: Progress so far: Still a way to go, but it is starting to resemble the right shapes.

Hi Paul, Been following this with keen interest. Sorry to hear you have had to stop, but your health is number 1, above all else. Hopefully all turns out OK for you in the near future. I have sent you a PM. Regards, RL

Ha, yes they are. I had run out of grey primer, but found this one from an older project. They will match the rest of the loco, once I find the Allen key to remove the wheels, its not in the safe place I left it.

As it stands at the moment: Hatchette Flying Scotsman - Awaiting wheels painting, con-rods and small detailing:

Hello one and all, I am relatively new to 7mm modelling, with the Hatchette Flying Scotsman being the only full kit I have attempted, and that’s not completed yet (pictures to follow later). The purchase of the Dapol 08 really gave my interest in 7mm a boost, such a lovely model for a great price, and RTR. An impending house move has inspired me to start documenting my progress into the new and wonderful world that 7mm seems to offer. With plans to build a shed and a garden railway to run my new stock on, with permission from my better half and daughter already granted thankfully, I will have threads for these as they happen (probably a year from now). In the meantime, my workbench will be kept busy with a few kits and modifications, for both Irish and British outline. Hopefully I can keep everyone entertained with my progress. Comments and tips will be welcomed. Regards, RL
