Right, actual progress, a second try at making a properly-shaped People Mover. This one is much crisper, is narrowed a little to almost scale width (as narrow as it can be and still fit around the Kato chassis) and unlike the first attempt on the left, does not look like it has been crafted by Salvador Dali with a dessert spoon...

The side details are looking better...

The next step is to make a set of etchings to add a splash of detail, window frames, wipers, couplings and door bits...

Also, on a more retro sort of direction, talk of 2mm panniers on the Coombe Junction blog made me dust off the Farish/Dapol hybrid pannier project, this will need some etched bits too, I seem to have made a half convincing job of adding some smokebox handrails..it was my first attempt

oh, and a 1:150 scale Alan Partridge Lexus.... as you do...
