Popular Post KNP Posted January 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) For years this Toad had sat in a box and just waited for its day of freedom. Then I had the idea of permanent way train, saw a converted 20ton brake van model and the way was decided. This is an old Bachmann model and needed some tidying up….. So now a new wagon is on the rooster Very much a hybrid, used what I had to hand which is why it says it must be returned to Plymouth….better than the other one I had which was for Slough! Just the S & W couplings to add… Edited January 9, 2022 by KNP 31 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have long been looking at this photo the wrong way. At the conclusion of Raiders of the Lost Ark the Ark is crated up and Indiana Jones is told that the Ark has been moved to an undisclosed location for "top men" to study. Behold KNP's photo of the "top men" on the cusp of revealing the awesome power of the Ark of the Covenant!!

Popular Post KNP Posted January 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) A close up of the passing formation just received. I have a feeling I should have put a couple of windows in the back elevation. Will leave for now and get on with the rest of the wagons. Bag of rods have arrived so perhaps I might go back and finish the cattle dock! Decisions, decisions....? Edited August 19, 2022 by KNP 29 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
