Popular Post KNP Posted July 10, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Two sides to every picture. 5531 and freight. Here we are to the left And here we are to the right Most obvious to me is those lamp brackets need filing down so the lamp doesn't look so perched on the end!

Popular Post MrWolf Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 Apparently, there is a prototype for everything. Is this cottage somewhere on the outskirts of Little Muddle, or did I find it in Shropshire? 20 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted July 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) We haven't heard from the Squadron Leader recently, he's fine just having his old RE8 serviced though I do think its time he got a replacement as it is 1938 you know! He sent me this picture of the area area around the Unicorn. It was originally taken to see if I had the balance and colours right, so I have repurposed it by using the paint brush with an undefined edge to cut out all the unwanted bits..... Now we are looking through a hole in the clouds!!! Edited March 29 by KNP 35 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted July 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) So back to a train, well a railcar. With the periphery faded to concentrate your eye on the subject I can live with this brown for now. I have contacted Dapol to see if they can give me a clue on what shade of brown it is, a reference of some kind like a BS or can they sell me some touch up paint.......when I hear back I will let you all know. No.8 going off to Little Muddle with the guard sitting at the back reading, which is what I believe sometimes happened.
