steve fay Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm not 100% sure yet, im thinking about doing the main structure as a ply box as I can do a few at a time. I might then have the extensions done as a laser cut add on. I could request a few different options as if you look at the pictures of the real location there's plenty of detail differences, be it extension height or differing window types. All of the windows will definitely be laser cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 As I have a glut of card I decided to carry on, I'll probably do another 4 or 5 tomorrow, it's great to physically have something in place until I scrap them and build them properly!! 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted November 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2016 Steve, Not wishing to criticise in anyway, but that middle picture does look as if there is a major signalling farce going on at Paddington tonight! Im also a little concerned, that when Network Rail (or should that be GWR's P-Way department) handed the railway back, there were a couple of rather crucial things they forgot to put back .... now what are they called .. ermm .. oh yes .. rails! . Driver of A58 might not make snap time on shed! Sorry, my sense of humour, couldn't resist! Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I didn't make it to the Reading show today but a mate of mine did and collected my MOK 9F kit!! I shall be collecting it early next week. I've been looking forward to this one for quite a few years now. I know once built it will be the best 9F available. Pictures will follow next week.
