Wonder if anyone can tell where to obtain rivets like theses of various lenghts? Thanks

Seems to be coming together very well Andy, love the stock and videos...

Thanks for that Michael, explains a lot...

Well l am back to the building of a TPO train at last, not too happy with the yellow lines l think they are too wide as l think they are for the 325 unit (as they are a bit wider than the Mk1 stock) and they could be a bit straighter, so they will be replaced soon ...

Hello Rob, Very nice to see you Stafford last weekend, l mentioned some sort of windows for the mail train l am building, after thinking about them l have decided to use some black transfers l have left over from some wagon kits l have had in the past, take care mate...

Getting on with the TPO build....

Having two factory weathered 33012 7mm class 33s, l decided to clean up and make a class 33/1 out of the spare one 33118 a favourite of mine from my Eastleigh days...

While it was nice and sunny and very warm l thought l would give the Fairburn a nice coat of etching primer...

Hi Ray, i must be slipping, guess its the heat hahaha

Back to my quest to build some TPO coaches from the 80s, so l have scrapped the lima coach route and have gone down the Darstead road by using sides, roofs and ends all l have to do now is build the floors using thick plasticard of 4mm Foamex....(here are the sides after a soak in cellulose thinners)

The depot has come on a treat buddy, looking good, well done that man...

Hi Andy, l must agree with you they are rather big and bold...

Apart from some valve gear issues the Fairburn tank is taking shape at last...

Hi Guys, Having a break from The Fairburn tank that's taking up a lot of my time at the moment, l have made a few changes to the TPO and that is to replace the ends with some Darsted ones, plus a new roof from Ellis Clark, all shown placed lightly in position...

Hi Rob, They are too flimsy and ill fitting, so l have got Dave at JPL Models to make me a set up, he says this is not the first set he has made for the DJH Fairburn ? ...
