I think I heard about this book on Facebook and honestly I bought it to look at the the prototype information in it and I wasn’t disappointed. Then I suddenly said that’s one of mine! I have to thank you for the book about building my ballast wagon kits! My sudden departure from kit manufacture can be put down to a mixture of things, but mostly depression. When you cock up 5 dies in a row.....

 

One prototype in the book I had spent quite a long time looking at (other people call it researching) was the Plaice. I had hoped to use the underframe for other wagons, but l seem to remember they had been quite seriously modified. 
 

I like the Pilchard, but I don’t think my machine could squirt something that long.

Roger i built a few of your Lamprey's etc. when you first released them and i found them a real pleasure to build - everything fitted together as it should and the brass/whitemetal bits added a bit more finesse than other kits.  I would go as far as saying they were probably my fave kit to build.  Hope you're doing fine in these strange times.

Thanks Matt, as you may have read elsewhere, my Son has reintroduced my kits under the Five79 brand. We spend hours discussing the production of new kits. But have not come to any final conclusions.
