Tempfix Rich Papper Posted May 19, 2021 Tempfix Share Posted May 19, 2021 These look like they're coming together nicely. Good fine detail on the windows - I'd have broken more than a few of them by now! Is that another set of sides at the bottom of the pile?

RMweb Premium MJI Posted May 19, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2021 Underneath the TSLB and bogie frame are some sides for a 1950s Swindon Intet City set as used Birmingham Swansea. Same frames and dimensions as the 120. Not sure what I will do with it. But I am also building a Gloucester ex MR 2P most likely 40540. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
