Funnily enough the biggest challenge, we face nowadays is not in achieving accuracy of body shape, detailing, variations, bogie position and wheelbase or color matching, but rather that the customer will not compare to the prototype, but to models that have gone before, which are in many cases, quite wrong and part of our motivation to bring out corrections 😀
It's not just you, there was a post on here when the Midland Pullman HST first appeared that it was the wrong colour!!

I remain concerned about the removable roof section interface and the alignment of the piece relative to the rest of the body.
On the Deltic it's like Ernie's wig...

Just watched the highlights of Phillip Island World SBK. Thought it was going to be a Ducati white(red)wash again after race 1 and Supersport Races 1 & 2 but Alex Lowes' Kawasaki took Superpole and Race 2, Ducatis took the next SIX places though!

Just had the body off on D12 to lubricate the bogie pivots - the squeek was driving me mad! So took the opportunity to unplug the cab lights. Don't have to chase it round after every stop with the wand now.

Thanks @Bill Radford!
I never knew there is a model shop there, it’s only a few miles from me and we go to the garden centre round the corner a lot - time for a visit!
Take care.
Its been there for about 10 years. It's a manufacturing unit - you have to ring the bell round the side.

It's kind of ironic that the nearest town is called Hatton.
Thanks for the upgrade but we're happy to still be a village!

Decided to check YouTube… This? Or something totally different?
Yes that's the programme.

It baffles me how those models can get into such bad nick, yet ask such high prices.
Watch The Repair Shed for all the valued family heirlooms!!

Not sure what chassis it is, best upgrade by launching it at the bin...
Certainly covers all the bases though!

Only "highlights" on youtube according to FE site.
If they are annoying as the NFL presenters on C5 I'll definitly give them a miss!
And it seems a long wait until Donny Park...

Did Heljan do a 37?
I suspect that it is for a Vi Trains version - that needed much fiddling and painting for buffer furniture. The "snow ploughs" are some of the yellow bits - no idea what the sprue of little yellow ones are for.
