The Bus Prevention Unit at Aston just drop into a bumpy field which is conveniently located behind the Kangaroo Inn. Even the sheep aren't bothered anymore. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 24 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 24 After all that excitement of actually getting around the bend I thought a change would do you all a bit of good. Linked to the WKT I have been doing some tidying up works on the tenders but mainly working on their support act. The small mess coach has had some S&W couplings added and the Toad has been renovated. It's depot is now Taunton with some transfers added to confirm, S&W couplings, lamps and weathering. So I here are all my Toads having a meeting and forming what I believe is called a Knot of Toads Since I took these pictures I have found the misplaced side lamps which have now been added to the PW van. Don't be concerned more pictures will follow over the next few days of the auto train arriving at the station....! 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant beat a knot of Toads - although lets hope they get moved soon; days spent on an Autocoach with no loo.... I know they were made of hardy stuff in the 1930's... but I am sure someone might need to pay a visit 🤣 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 26 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26 There she is. An old (1998 I think) Dapol autocoach with Dart Castings detailing kit and Shawplan flush glazing added. I don't think I will be replacing this considering the time and effort I spent on it... 34 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 26 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26 (edited) WKT getting there, nearly done. Just waiting for the transfers to be finalised. Need to sort out the chemical wagon but at the moment can stay black/grey and detailed with pencil graphite. Whole train just passing by on a proving run luckily caught by the Squadron Leader who was also passing by....!
