    On holiday, in Charmouth. Already planning a trip to Pecorama and a few visits to some old stations.

      Cannington viaduct is worth a trip. If you get to Weymouth, the walk from Melcombe across the fleet is beautiful., and there are plenty of relics along the way. Have a great holiday.

      Well Buffers is a slight drive away, but now the wife has swiped the car I may have to do some modelling instead.

      I made the goods shed a few years ago & it came out fantastic & i had never built one before. Great fun & value for money.

      I have enjoyed it so far, but the templates were slightly oversize on a few things and undersized door frames. They do seems to be a good stepping stone to scratch building

    just bought a class 22 and class 41 bodies on ebay and have no idea what chassis to use

    My planned layout for little cost has now cost me

      That's exactly what I'm doing... - everything used on the current shelf project so far, apart from glue and duct tape, has been reused from other stalled projects.

      Unfortunately not, it's the body kit from Langely but hoping to use the Urie tender from BH Enterprises to make it a more acceptable BR variant, rather than the short lived watercart variant which were phased out in the mid 50s. I do however prefer the DJH S15 kit, maybe because i still prefer whitemetal

    Currently liking the track plan to Dydley Junction, just wished I had a spare 60 inches x 30 inches baseboard. I think there might be one in the loft
