Idle Speculation

Hello Brian,

They look terrific. I know what you mean about the raised window frames. Although not historically correct, on balance I've decided to go with the pre-58 windows for mine. In future, I was wondering if the MMP etches can be adapted? PS I have lots of spare (clear) side windows...

Hello Tim,

It's great to see that this thread has returned again, as I have one of these kits in two lovely Easybuild boxes sitting under my workbench. Must say it's looking terrific but I do have slight misgivings about the kit's interpretation of the front windows.

Hi,

My TSO is going to be rail blue, modelling late 70's (my era of class 40 bashing!). For this project, I've moved to RailMatch enamel from JLTRT cellulose after seeing your BSK. It's worked out much better, although I'm not brave enough to paint it in one go at the end like you do! Soldering the etch bogies is a bit of a daunting prospect....Maybe I'll post a picture further down the line.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Alan

Hi,

This is my inaugural post here although I've been watching the boards for a couple of years now. Currently building a JLTRT TSO... Just wanted to say thanks for all your coach build pictures and advice!
