July 15..... How time flies! The same author did a number of interesting GWR conversions over a few years... I've done most but have just realised I've a short Python to look forward to!

There was an article in Railway Modeller a few years ago about westernising this kit - I did one and it's in United Dairies. The pictures of the four wheelers when they were new (and clean!) in one of the Russell books also shows them in United Dairies. Both book and and tanker are out in the railway room and it's raining so I can't elaborate further!

The one on the back goes to the middle barge bollard and then there’s one from the nearest bank bollard forward to the bollard on the bank. It won’t go anywhere then!

I can see five Castles in Nick's photos!!!

Thumb??🤣

I've been tinkering with an Aberdare bought on e-bay some years ago but the K's chassis has defeated me as far as getting it to run smoothly is concerned. Searches for a suitable etched chassis drew a blank and it's been on the shelf for a while. Excuse me for asking something again that might have been answered above.... but exactly what type of chassis will the new Aberdare kit be sold with? I'm building for DCC. I'll probably buy one anyway though!

It seems to going very well! You can’t even see the join…..It’s not just the quality of your work Kevin, but the rate of progress which puts me to shame….

Kevin, Are you going to do Pippin Fort as well?? Camberwick Green was a blast from the past. When I first watched it I guess I didn’t notice Windy Miller’s dipsomania or his complete disregard for the sails which nearly took him out every time he walked into the mill…..😆

Kevin, your last photo leaves me with a great dilemma. It is clear that you have modelled the parts of LM that would never expect to be seen from normal viewing angles even if you were a seven foot tall contortionist! I can’t seem to get the visible bits of my layout anywhere near your standards but I suppose clearing off all the detritus, unfinished projects, empty boxes etc etc might help. Inspirational as ever, must start a clear up……

It would be really cool if you could do that with a brown Peugeot too . John, I’ve just had a fail with a Humbrol rattle can, but an airbrush (and paraphernalia) is not on my crimbo list just yet. Mind you my layout coaches won’t stand scrutiny like yours!

A panoply of panniers??

Is it the workmen by the door doing the thinking, or is it the chap loafing, sorry I mean leaning, on the fence? Perhaps he’s thinking about harvesting the potatoes….

It’s good to “have you back” John! Inspirational as always…..

That’s me off to Modelu then!

Well so was I….. and ditto. I could have been an Admiral but fell a bit short….. as for Guzz versus Pompey, well, I’d beg to differ! Won’t mention Chatham…. “IVOR DEWDNEY” at stand easy for the hangoverally challenged. Back to the modelling….
