Remember being horrified at them compared with what was around at the time, can't believe they've been and gone already.

Pylon King Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 That is a quite astonishing piece of modelling Mr. Pylon King, and thanks for reminding me why I model the steam age! Do you have a topic on the forum we can see? All the best, Dave. . Thank you . Mostly scratch built by myself , 4mm/1:76 collection which focuses on “British grid” models. The substation was found back in January at the Astolat Railway show in Guildford for only £20 , purchased on the spot. Do you have any similar to these ? Although very prolific structures , electrical grid models are largely overlooked . It would be interesting to find out about the views on this forum . 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

28XX Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Eddie Goulding, the Telecoms Area Engineer in Birmingham in the late 1970’s had a green one. He didn’t like driving much, so I chauffeured him around quite a bit. I thought they were terrific little buggies, and it seemed Ford had solved the porridge-spoon gearstick feel of the contemporary BL fwd cars.
