Coach doors scribed in. Cast cabs and rear ends fixed in place. I’ll let the glue cure overnight. Much filling and sanding awaits… Cheers Darius

Next on the bench is this MTK version of the BR Derby Lightweight Ultrasonic Test Train. I already have a set of Railtec decals for it. Spot the use of press studs in the test wheel assembly mouldings. Cheers Darius

I have to admit that I am inconsistent with my approach to building these kits. It is definitely more efficient to complete identical tasks on both/all coaches side-by-side, however I find some of the tasks more fun than the others. Roof detailing is a bit of a chore so it is more motivating (i.e. “fun”) for me to move on to the priming and painting stage of one coach than to get the second coach up to speed. That way the grunt work is evened out along with the more enjoyable tasks. In this instance I did make both plasticard rear walls for the coaches at the same time. The olive paint I am using for these coaches is mixed by Phoenix so I’m confident that the finishes will match. Cheers Darius

Alas derekdoesn’tdogrammar. Cheers Darius -
If the cover text gets you that riled up then you must be totally apoplectic by the time you have read the first article. I have to admit that I tend to look at the pictures and then revert to the text if a particular shot interests me - the exception being the practicals. I seldom get irked by the content with the exception of one modeller referring to his customary Spitfire flying over the layout next the picture of a Hurricane flying over the layout. Cheers Darius

For scribing I use an Olfa P-Cutter. For flat surfaces I use a steel rule as a guide and for curved surfaces - such as coach roofs - I tape plasticard to the surface to act as a guide. Cheers Darius
