    My tank was styrene sheet and evergreen strips - rivets were Archer decals - fiddly but doable. Support was stained stripwood from my US modelling stash. Ladder was a long signal ladder - MSE I think.

Bridport is one of my favourite layouts for example:

    Nene Wharf (found on the (Gaugemaster website) - nicely done.

    Ade We were exchanging messages - I'm looking into one of the Sparkshot bodies as I have a 03 chassis with a failed crankshaft which under skirts can be cut off! Chris
