HI Stannyblade. They are scalescene TO23 with a bit of scratch buildingwork . All the best Alf

That's not what i've been told. A chap from my model club is working at Warley on the AJAY kit stand with DC kits on the same stand.

Charlie (DC Kits) Will be shering a stand with AJAY kits at Warley on the 28/29 of November.

Thanks C&WR . The little building is used as toilet's. Now Just started to build a row of houses. These will replace that brown building you can see at the rear in the last picture. All the best Alf

Update on the buildings at Ditton. These shops have taken a few week's to build now in place on station Road. IMGP0357 by ALF WESTLEY, on Flickr

For the wire I used 5 amp fuse wire held with superglue. Left to dry over night before fitting the mesh. One of those jobs that's best not to rush to finish.

The same thing. Yesterday i used Humbrol matt black on a model. 24 hours later it's not dry . Time to bin the tin . Going to keep to Railmatch from now on. Sadly it's a 40 mile round trip as my local model shop only stocks Humbrol.

Hi Eltel look this up http://www.wnxx.com/Then click on the Stored Loco Galleries .

I've been trying to find a local model club to join within 20 miles that have a D&E Layout . They all only have steam layouts. I was the chairman of my local club a few years back all the members where intrested in steam only. How do club's intend to get younger member's if they Don't move with the times.

Here is a view as you leave the station. The cottages are from superquick built 25 year's ago. Taken from my old layout. IMGP0319 by ALF WESTLEY, on Flickr

This is how i take them apart. On the underside of the bus you will find 2 plastic lug's. They can be red or black you need to keep these for the rebuild. Do NOT remove these at this stage they will fall out when the lower and upper deck come apart. You will see a metal rivet at the rear of the underside you need to drill the head off . Next get a small flat screwdriver put this in between the upper and lower deck twist the screwdriver as you work around the body. You may need to work round a few times then it will come apart.You can now remove the seat's and windows. Do NOT remove the poles as you need them to refit the body. Once you have done your repaint refit the plastic lug's to the pole's as before. i use epoxy where the rivet head was drilled out. If you want to remove the poles you will need to use Epoxy to fix the upper and lower decks together. All the best Alf.

Hi. If anybody need's to know hell to strip a EFE bus apart with no damage to the model , Then P/M me and i will post it up . all the best alf

Hi. I First took the model apart. Then used paint Stripper on the body. Then a light coat of Halfords Grey primer before the top coats. A White spray can was used for the top coat on the roof . All the best alf

Hi. The only way to get a Model bus that i Wanted for my layout was a full repaint. This started off as a EFE Sheffield corp AEC Regent mk3 with orion bodywork. After a full strip down and Repaint it's now in the old Eastbourne Corporation Livery. IMGP0425 by ALF WESTLEY, on Flickr
