You were considering the Calder Valley line on another thread and as I did not want to intrude on it, I have posted a couple of pictures here....

The sun tries to penetrate the cloud and rain at Todmorden as the 16.45 Manchester-Scarborough DMU approaches the junction with the Copy Pit line on 28th September 1981.....

I'll give it a shot mate but they take AGES (says he who has built 15 of the things now)

They are already half built, so all you need to do is take them apart and re-do them PROPERLY, hahhahaha, it will then give you two more for the Bacup roster.

Come to think of it, the 13 ton steel open was one of the ones you gave me too mate, still in it's bag.

 

The LNER 5 plank was a very old Parkside kit and I guess that the tolerances didn't used to be as good as they are now, as I had to remove a ton of flash and use Microstrip at the four corners to hide the huge gaps. I regauged the OO wheels to EM for both.

Would love to but my plans for Saturday have already been changed once by the Missus to be more couple orientated......

 

 

 
See you back on here in about 15 years then...
