Is the 110 a single unit or part of a double unit? Not seen one before. Kind of want one now.
It’s either a 2 or 3 car, I meant to take a side on pic of all 3 before I packed away today. This one’s for Heaton lodge junction

Wow, didn't realise how long since posted here. Anyway slight update, I've done the bits for the 110 and the other style class 105 DMBS (50359 etc) is at the etchers. For the wagons I've done LMS diagram D2097 van and also BR shockvan 1/206
I'm working on the Flatrol MHH, I've had to restart the drawing on this quite a few times to get the shape right
Pictures to follow as bit busy leading up to Guildex

The next kit that'll be introduced will be the MK1 Composite lavatory (suburban) dia 313. I have the test etch back for that.
Also I'm trading at the ALSRM show in Swindon in February

In the week between Christmas and new year, I've been making a bit of progress with my own coaches. A while ago I purchased a Thompson Corridor Composite, possibly a CRT kit which paint wasn't very good. I'd already made a start on stripping the body paint but I hadn't got it all off the roof. Have now done that and put some etch primer on. The chassis was already painted when I brought it.
I'd also put the jumper connections on the Hawksworth DMU corridor composite and now given a coat of etch primer on.
I'd brought a Collet sunshine brake third (not sure on the kit but etch brass with cast ends and brass roof) ages ago. I still need to reattach the ends as coming adrift. Had to strip the paint off as not good. What I need to put on is the joint covers on the roof but don't know how far apart they are.

High Mike,
How are the Gresley EMU bogies coming? and what length are they? I am assuming they are 8'6" (trailing) and 9' (motor)?
Also would it be possible to get just a pair of 124 cab ends?
Cheers,
Al.
Hi Al
Yes the bogies are done, they're 8' 6" for the trailer and 8' 9" for the motor
And yes can do the 124 cab ends

I am ashamed to admit I haven't touched mine since I bought them ages ago.
Might push them up the queue.
Sounds like a good idea
