Which Coach Diagram numbers are these kits please?

How did Scotland contrive to nearly loose that game??? WIBBLE!!!

Very interesting Ian...

The 'Norse-like' saga continues on and on and on and... Etc!

This season? What a bl##dy waste of time that was...

Smashing show and a smashing day. The bargain bin foraging proved very useful as well...

Would some of these modifications be applicable to the 51ft stock? I refer to the panels and brake sections... The end profiles could be corrected, using the MJT ends as templates? Most of the kits I have are 51ft ones, destined for my CLC project.

A fascinating topic - bravo 👏

Toys - Pram - Tantrums - Boohoo... Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Mercy please... 😂 Looks like a winner to me mind...

Embrace your "mistakes" as friends and teachers. It is through this you will improve incrementally as a modeller. We all begin; it is then how you wish to progress...

Is this the tape one used to use? https://nationalbodyshopsupplies.co.uk/t-euro-masking-tape-1-5-36mm-24-rolls-t2536/

Resistance is futile...

This saga is as long as the fade out on Hey Jude... Just an observation mind, the book appears when it appears

This evening, beware of angry Toto...

I couldn't possibly comment...

He, She or It? All the same to me - living, breathing beasties... Now weathering does matter to me. It brings models to life, allows the muse to serve your endeavours to create a scene. I hope the below illustrate that : A humble BR steel Medfit, full of skanky, waste ballast. An auld LMS Highfit, seeing out its days humping waste ballast. A venerable, battered Grampus awaits its next duty. An auld, fitted LMS Medfit, now with the Engineers Dept. Another bashed up, former LMS Highfit; this time, in the service of the S&T Dept. All this stock is runs on Mostyn. So what, it's P4, does that make it better? No; however, each item is an individual, part of the overall creation. Talking of which, back to the workdesk. More scuzzy, decrepit, filthy stock needs finishing...

Huzzah!

My namesakes kits did benefit from Colin Ashby refreshing the tooling when he had them. They will create half decent models with care, detailing and patience - the choice is yours as the builder. They also can be bashed, if so minded, into other esoteric stock. Steve Banks created models of early LNER non corridor stock which used auld GCR underframes, using the various Kirk sides. Think of them as another means to an end, just balance what the cost is to what you want... Mind, the Isinglass kits are good and getting better as is all of the 3D stuff. Like I say the choice is yours.

Is this a new racing idea to beat Red Bull? Let's race submarines shall we; I mean, Adrian Newey surely hasn't got a design for one squirreled away on his computer 🤔

EXCELLENT...

Well that went well then...

I do hope that if Red Bull try mucking about with Checos car, that the Dutch Jessie has a car failure or 3 as well.

Gentleman, I have much to muse on and digest. Your thoughts are gratefully received. Meantime, back to the scuzzy PW stock...

Hallo Frank. What are the other issues using Markit’s wheels in EM please? As someone returning to the gauge for some of my own modelling, any tidbits are most useful Too many years with "drop in wheelsets..." My tack has been to reenter EM using Markit’s simply to get some little victories under my belt. Wheel quartering is the next step, hopefully.
