Matches your eyes.

Agreed

Can't get this picture out of my head...

And Pannier tanks...

The lack of uniform height and colour, so often found in static grass applications, is great.

North light roof profile

But the result is some of the most realistic grass I've seen. Good colouring and lumpiness.

Truly awful. Saw a few photos earlier. Makes me glad I've moved to 7mm and no longer have to deal with the joke Hornby has become.

I could help out with track saw, circular saw, chop saw or multitool. All getting much use at the moment rebuilding our stairs...

Good effort on mek, building and beer.

Just mention mint sauce, that generally sorts him out.

Liberties!

Nice skip.

Nice. The brass door bangs are a step forward in my opinion, finer profile but strength. Now... If only they would produce a GWR clay wagon to the same standard. Got to be loads of clay layouts that would take a rake or two....

I'd like you to measure the green one please Mike.

Oh, that looks like an incredibly thrilling job...

I remember the stormy sea that was the fiddle yards on BCB!

I can confirm, with no denial option involved, that Spams did indeed do some work on the Maunsell coaches that ran on Treneglos. That work included: renumbering, adding set numbers, fitting dynamo belts, weathering, adding a few passengers and, because I could, printing off and fitting self adhesive overlays for the compartments which had period pictures on. Took minutes to print and add to each compartment. As an extra I stuck tin foil to some double sided tape, cut it into rectangles and added as compartment mirrors. When exhibiting Treneglos, the light did just catch the mirrors, and they were occasionally noticed by those watching. I didn't fit anything in to the guards compartment, not did I add luggage racks. Deffo would not have been seen. I do have some Maunsell coaches for Pencarrow in 7mm and will be doing the same detailing internally.

In my bitter experience MDF isn't immune from hideous warping.

Sadly I won't be attending this year's cake, pasty, and evil pannier event. The chip shop in Minehead, the pubs in Taunton and the great cider farm, which are all now part of the Members Day extravaganza weekend, are now safe.

Have I mentioned we're having lamb for Sunday lunch? Mint sauce... Yum.

Is it a mould seam or a reflection? I've not noticed it in other photos and it doesn't appear to be there on the black version.

Thanks for posting updates and photos from Kettering, wasn't able to get there myself this year.

Makes it almost as difficult as sneaking 0 gauge stuff into the house!

Very nice looking models. Is it me or are boxes getting bigger and more fancy?
