R765-U_3132663_Qty1_1.jpg too much greenery so far I can remember reading Railway Modeller and an article on 'improving' one of these 'models' involving taking a few ml's out of the area behind the buffer beam as well as removing the moulded on nameplate housing! Amongst other things! Blimey those were the days! Do remember being inspired by the way! As for Oulton Hall that's where the idea came from!

Cheers, Mark I still have one I did all that too, before I discovered Wills kits. I as able to get several of the red ones at seriously discounted prices, long before it became a collectors item. Retailers couldn't sell them at list and let them go for whatever they could get to clear shelves. As the chassis was the basis for many of the Wills kits, my dad bought in bulk and threw the loco bodies away. Mike Wiltshire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted July 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2016 A platform sausage ! Hmmm you're tempting fate with that one (2nd piccy) For a moment, I thought the porters barrow was a giant rabbit, contemplating the philosophical existence of the platform sausage.
