Well done Chris - you have achieved far more than me in 2mmFS (I'm still just rewheeling N gauge stock after 5 years) in a much shorter time so keep going as its very impressive. Me too, the dialogue made me laugh....

well done at the stage you've got to, by now many of many of my attempts hit the wall ( literally ) and end up in the too finish pile keep doing it is looking good btw the vomit comet was always the jet foil out of Dover

Perseverance indeed. Impressive that you've kept at it. I laughed out loud at your humorous description. I can see why you had to remove the whitemetal cars - nice try but I suppose it wouldn't have worked in the long run :-)

and the medal for perseverance goes to... The first time around no one has experience and our work probably had similar misgivings. When I started building chassis (sadly Chris hadn't done any kits then) I discarded three before I got a good one. It can be demoralising. It seems you have got back up and are on track, or you will be soon. P.s. You could have picked an easier prototype. Mine runs okay but it can't pull anything much. If that motor is heavier than the small coreless ones that could exacerbate the traction problem that results from not having weight over the driving wheels. No apologies for taking Chris out of context or that horrible pun.

it's the detials that bring things to life... well done

Wonderful - do like to see semaphores Andy and these are really taking St Ruth to the next level. Great stuff...

Judging by what can be seen so far, I'm guessing it's an igloo :-)

Definitely worth doing. Making the arms move is not as difficult as you might think... although arranging the drive can be more err... challenging. If you want to make life easier for yourself then go for dummy signal lamps. Regards, Andy

Thanks Pete! I've enjoyed working with the powders and will definitely use them again hopefully improving my skills as I go. Best regards, Jeremy

Good start Jeremy - do like a nice n grubby tractor me Front end detailing lookin' nice to with the ploughs...and it looks lower too which helps... Won't comment on the fixing as haven't done that to any of my stock yet...but I will sit back and note the tips given above...

Nice one! Thanks for the advice! I spent a bit of time today blending the smoke stains into the roof a bit more. It's starting to look a little more realistic now. Best regards, Jeremy
