I'm afraid I've no room for a layout big enough to warrant a WC in O, just small tanks engines for me. I've a few RTR examples and would love to add an O2 kit from Connoisseur but I think it would just join the pile of unfinished projects under the bench. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big jims 02 is a great model as l have built two of them in the past one a mainland loco the other was an island one with extended bunker, very nice to build... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting into Cadley Hill with the proviso that everything on it must be already present - it has already presented some problems that in one case showed the value of keeping 'little bits' of odds and s8ds. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano747 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi George Cracking job on the Pacifics x3!! Good to see your mojo back too as I enjoy following your work. I look forward to the DA N Class build as its another in my stash 'on the shelf' A recent, and very unexpected promotion to a management position has put all my modelling on the back-burner for now, as I was about to make a start on a DA 42xx kit. Hopefully later summer time?! Regards, Rob (Deano) 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
