A stunning model.

Did you see the Rapido announcement of a 5 plank in Engineer's Dept. black.

Always great to see a new blog entry from you Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing the Hatton's Genesis versions on release.

Can you recommend a decent brand and source for a filbert brush please Mick.

Have you the link to the Modelmaster transfers you used here please Mark. Asking for a friend.

I don't think that I have seen any of the oil fired locos modelled before, makes a nice change.

 

 

Are you sure about that @Siberian Snooper 

Very nice too Mick but for someone who's not a fan of the Western you seem to do quite a few of their locos.

I was actually asking about the ex SR ballast wagon (ling) transfers.

You've made a superb job of that ballast wagon Tim. Can I ask your source of transfers for it please.

Having a look a getting a few of these to put behind the newly released MR 16xx but not sure which Dave Franks buffers are suitable replacements.

Nice to see they're correctly social distanced even if it's 1954 and a very much different world back then.

And there was me thinking it would be BR Crimson..

 

What’s the Cambridge code for the BR crimson transfers please Mark. Asking for a friend obviously....

I don’t like it Mick, I love it.

I think this page needs an update as I have information that it might now have a detailed interior and tiled roof now young Jedi.

@Captain Kernow is giving Sam's Trains a run for his money with carpet modelling.

Heartbreaking and what a waste.

Interested in trying those panel washes Mick and wondered where you source them please.

I’m a big fan of Treemendus bark powder over the trunk and branches. It dries a nice colour or can be painted etc.

Next time you see a good deal like that can you give me a nod please, excellent work all round.

What colour did you use to weather the tracks ?

Someone is trying to tell me something as I received my unpainted version today and it's pinky red. It was grey on the website. Really like how easily the body/roof/chassis come apart for the detailing though.

I might change my mind by the time I get round to the paint job.

What livery will you finish it in? 

GWR brown of course.

Thanks and duly ordered, will get some nice self contained buffers from Mr Franks too.

The Dapol website is notoriously bad to search so have you a link to the page with the undecorated models on please.
