Jaggzuk Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 After a few alterations got then to fit together and the canopy sit nice on the platform. Love the canopy. Just seen one of these kits on a layout at the Hartlepool show and really look the look of it. How robust is it once the roof is on? If I go for it mine will end up being on the platform near the front of the layout and so will likely get knocked a bit with the boys reaching over? Also, I will have to modify it a bit too as my bay platform has one straight side and one curved side. So how easy do you think it will be to modify it to fit.?

Cheers Its layers of card so easy to alter and seems strong i had to cut out part of the main beam of the center legs to fit over the waiting room . The kids have knocked it about a bit as i have it a the front of the layout so it get hit when the reach across the station and it seems to be holding up to it I would recommend i like the look of it a lot and am planning to get more . thanks for lookin in again pal.

Marcus 37 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Very festive mate. Just need some snow and some festive music. Canopy looks superb and I especially like the picture of the 85 with the pan up. The overheads make all the difference. Great modelling.

vulcan product fan Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 The detail on models now is so good compared to when i started "playing with trains " as a kid with cast resin and 3d printing you can get some amazing stuff at a great price. found this on a well known auction site and just thought it looked so smart and reminded me of those visits to the works as a kid its a sulzer 12 cylinder class 47 power unit 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
