44765 is the one I did properly, there's a Hornby 5MT in there but it has new etched frames fitted outside the Hornby block to bring it out to EM gauge. These frames have proper bearings in them, Gibson wheels, new motion and double block brakes. With the addition of wider spaced bearings the Hornby mechanism runs perfectly.1 point

Thanks for the kind comments. Re the HO scale kit (Pola? Heljan? can't remember) check out "London Road" model railway on you-tube as the same kits are used as part of the back-drop.1 point

I owe the T9 an apology as I seem to remember the boiler is indeed a metal casting - but it did look a little matte and plasticky. I've found that this weathering + burnishing treatment helps with Hornby's GWR green quite a bit, giving it some much-needed depth and lustre. That missing bus will haunt me, I really wish I knew what had become of it!1 point

A clever solution for storage Mikkel. You are amassing a great collection of figures. Superb figure painting as well.1 point

Wonderful, Mikkel; I wanted to click both the Informative/useful and the Craftsmanship/clever buttons! Thanks so much for the heads-up on the pick-and-pluck foam - what a brilliant idea.1 point
