Very nice paint job Brian.  This may possibly be Heljan’s best model to date in my humble opinion.

 

Fingers crossed.

 

Class 73 takes some beating.

Yes I heard it was! Sadly I couldn’t get to that show but fingers crossed I will get the opportunity at Warley! I am building an O gauge layout especially for this model!

I better remember to bring it with me tomorrow morning then!

Went on the Waverley from Tower Pier to Southend on 03-10-23, still as nice as ever. Here she is departing Southend for Whitstable.

 

[How realistic are your models? Photo challenge.]

58 having a service on the shed at night. Could do with a bit of a clean!

Interesting container ship behind it as well. I believe Maersk are having some new builds and one of them visited Southampton last week for the first time. Picture of Maersk Acadia at Soton backing out on 02-04-23

Return journey was at 19.30 so Tower Bridge was nicely lit up as we under it.

Had a nice trip on the Waverley on Monday from Tower Pier to Red Sands Forts near Whitstable off the Kent coast. 10 hours paddling up and down the Thames, very enjoyable.
