if he's from the Shropshire he may just be about to "put a pig upon a wall to watch the band go by"

they look quite good, the blue circle tanks are especially fine looking. think i would be tempted if i were to use them to paint the shanks and hook tips, to look like a dotted or solid line though, as the wagons now look like they are drawn along by magic.... "there is just no pleasing some people, is there!!!!"

Gah, Gloucestershire, guess thats another reason to buy one. Wonder if some one will prove it with a picture?

Looking at the komatsu's chassis has got me wondering how hard would it be to use that for producing a Coles Argus yard crane?

I expect he can, but can I interest you in a home loan to finance the purchase of it if its made in one lump ????

I would like to see more departmental stock and on track plant, you know the the olive greenies, Engineers red, yellow perils and Dutch beasites especially from the 70's/80's. I'd be happy if the things were dummies/unpowered as a lot of the time they are just siding fillers or diorama stars. If you were looking to hire in talented sub contract designers, there's a couple of guys in the 3d printing thread are doing brilliant stuff.

Your going to need a bigger layout, to get a complete line replace working diorama at this rate. Perhaps you could borrow Drem and close the Eastcoast mainline for a bank holiday possession???!!!

I model BR Blue, as this is what I remember as a kid train spotting in the mid 70's. I've stretched it a bit to include the start of Red Stripe, Dutch and hanger on green. RULE 1 applied.

I bought this book after seeing it mentioned on here, Money well spent. More interested in the lines closer to the city, but the forest lines are still of interest. Hope they bring out more in the series soon, would certainly buy a book that covers more Central & Eastgate Stations, Tuffley Loop & Junction and shared lines to the south.

"empty"..... like they admit it was full......

probably didnt look much better before either, those sleepers look a bit rotten.

i think he buys that yellow paint in 5ltr tins, hope he's not done the whole house in engineers yellow.......

see message #560 & #561

David if the electrical flash stickers are a known standard size, can you use that to work out the overall height dimensions from an average of the source images?

print them 1mm thick and then stick them in the etch solution till they are the fineness required.... ok lots of trial and error required to time the dip just right..
