Of course you are, but seeing as they haven't even got the 43xx sorted, it's cart before horse.
-
It’s a nice straight forward build Mr J. I have built a few over the years and always been pleased with them.
-
Let's just get the 43xx's done first , eh?

I used a 3" belt sander to make the "wedge" -

Make sure jigsaw blade is tungsten tipped. HSS will blunt in no time ! -
You really ought to treat it to an S E Finecast etched brass chassis. Lots of lovely detail !

Mr Johnster, You can source 3D printed Fishbellies from shapeways. Somewhere in the GWR prototype etc. Section there is a thread I did several years ago regarding building 3 (Yup, 3) K's autotrailers. I stalled when I got to the glazing of them as I wanted to try and make my own "semi flushglazing" as the whitemetal sides are way too thick. They are buried in a box as other things peeked my interest....but one day... Anyway I'll try and root out some pic!

Too late in the day for the period I am intending to model, but Rule 1 will have to be invoked. Dr Who time travel will be the order of the day!
-
Gawd ! I so want these it hurts ;-)
-
I'm not panicking, I'm more concerned about the "not affording them" and then spending probably more on all the kits. Mind you they were all good deals on e-thief so "I had to"
-
I so wanted to get a couple of sets of these but cancelled my order as I "couldn't afford them" then promptly purchased 34 (Yes 34) coach kits and 4 Hornby Hawksworths since! I need help.....(mentally)

Yup. I always airbrush if possible. My paintbrush "skills" are a bit lacking. The Clerestory looks great btw. -
'New Colletts from Old'

Thank you for the compliments. The colours are originally from Railmatc, although I then painted a couple of sample squares and got a local paint supplier to colour match and mix up a litre of both in Acrylic. -
Mr Dunn has spurned all offers of help for several years now. Taking money and hanging onto funds with no intention of supply.
-
He's been overpricing stuff for ages, catching the less informed out of their money.
-
The only cure is to run out of money.......trust me :-(
-
Just seen a clown on the bay of thieves selling GWR versions, looking for 64 quid a coach today. Gotta love a tryer
-
I'll be surprised if Hornby make the bogies available separately as they had stopped offering the old railroad ones for upgrading from the earlier MK1's a long time before the newly tooled 57 footers appeared.
-
Everything packed away again....on the move for the fourth time in twelve months <sigh>
-
Looking at his other goodies, he certainly knows how to charge!
-
Only if it's pretending to be an A28. If it's in A30 mood then 9ft required
-
Put me in for a set too please.
-
All have been poorly painted but gone for crazy money!
