Mol_PMB Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 1 hour ago, pwr said: Took me 14 years to build my B2 on and off. My problem is a start something and put it down for some reason and go on to something else!. My BSK in blue grey was started in 2014 and put aside whilst I struggled with lining. I've now got transfers for that but when I picked it up recently I found the roof had bowed. Still considering what to do. I think I will finish the body off as far as I can then look at the roof. I am sure Shawn at Easy build will send me a spare if I discuss the problem with him. Given how much they cost and you still have to provide paint and transfers you can see why the Dapol/Lionheart MK 1's are a better bet at the prices that they seem to be available at. Paul R I like the implied hint that some Mk1s would go nicely with the fleet of 33s on SMS... Now, will they come in SR toothpaste livery? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with bodies removed, frames painted yellow and the word salmon stuck on the side as a very basic model then yes Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a 5" Gauge version also sitting on the workshop floor waiting for lockdown restrictions to be lifted so we can get across to the Llandudno track for a steam up. Ray. That looks brilliant Ray, I do mis coming to Bala now that were so far away. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
