Best regards

Thanks. Hand painted and no masking, risky with my shaky hand, but it came out ok.

that's great

very good, i could almost beleive that was a photo of a real street

nice looking wagons.

wish mine were as good

looking good so far

I'm going to put the boards back on, even though they didn't stay on for long on the prototypes.

Good luck with your request to Bachmann.

as far as i know the boards came seperate in the OO version.

i have 2 that came that way.

nice picture

looking good

nice layout, right up my street.

Busy yard! Looks good.

Thanks, it just got a whole lot busier.

much better than my Seacows.

like them alot.

looking forward to seeing the finished article

may be some time before i get round to these again

It is interesting that you say that there was a later batch of HST's were made without the guards window. I was under the impression that the guards compartment window was blanked off on existing units.

 

Did I hear correct?

unsure how they were built, but sure it would be easier not to cut a hole for a window than fill one in.

Thanks.

Work has stopped play so no further progress on the sidings to report.

I will come back to it though.

had a better idea

great pictures

working in Didcot alot, but never been in the Railway Centre, have to make do with the view from the carpark area

What about a wagon works?

that's an option i had considered, not as grand as the Cresent works in Peterborough, but it's do able

a small shed on 1 or 2 sidings

Looks great

twice the length

nice weathering

looks good

that looks fantastic

it passes the time

nice work
