Cheers guys, glad you liked it. The bogies are, for the moment, a cop out, and I intend to replace them with something more appropriate in the not too distant future.
Hi,
That's a neat job, I am not really modelling the "Caledonian" but I just fancied the set. I had thought of doing the coaches underframes and adding interiors but haven't yet decided...my work on the loco involves cutting back the front bogie, adding pipes/scale screw coupling, and making a "dummy" frame over the bogie wheels to fill that huge gap. I will post a pic here when I get done. No doubt there would be much more could be done. I also replaced the tender wheels which are truly horrible old Triang style things with continuously variable back to back.....
