Particularly given that one of them is a Thomas complete with traces of blue paint on the wheels. We’re quite quick to deride the work of others on here without the full facts. Agree that the prices are a little optimistic but I guess under nine pounds for an 0-6-0 chassis is not bad. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, great modelling for the next step up from "Thomas", and showing an affinity for the "old company"! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A very long time ago, I remember spending hours cutting panelling from postcard material with a Stanley knife in an attempt to copy a Furness Railway four wheeler that I had seen a drawing of in one of the monthly magazines and mounting it onto a Lima continental chassis, (ex DR branch line coach IIRC) it got painted in something approaching LMS maroon with an oversized brush. A couple of years later, I discovered Ratio 4 wheelers and it got binned. A friend of mine did a similar thing, but he still has his, about forty years on, albeit slightly crushed. If it wasn't for that, I would have still been running nothing but RTR. In fact, I started making stuff that I couldn't otherwise afford, so that probably kept me in the hobby. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
