Only £3:50 ? Tell that to some of the clowns on Ebay trying to get 15 quid for empty loco boxes !

That's just plain stupidity. You could get the whole Bristolian set including the loco for £200 on eBay recently.

I do so love the encouragement from veteran modellers to the inexperienced learning noobs <cough>

Best be off to the bathroom then dear Boy before you have an accident !

Managed to get a coat of cream on late last night and then a coat of brown this evening

Looks quite the project. You are silhouette cutting the panel overlays i presume ?

I got one if the Armstrong's off ebay for 50 quid, buy it now.....Bargain !

I find I get obsessed with the work and frustrated when it doesn't go according to plan.Often my skills don't match my ambition! A10 ? That sounds interesting ! Any pics ?

Thanks Chaps. Think it maybe more stupidity than brave but onwards we go.... Part 2 Being a glutton for punishment i felt i had to cut the windows into the luggage compartment Then the drivers doors need hinges

The preamble A while ago I purchased four Hornby Auto trailers. Two were in excellent condition whilst the other two were damaged. One of the damaged ones was an easy fix whilst the other had a roof split in two places along nearly 2/3rds of its length and the driving end was also split into three with broken windows. I originally didn't want to do much so glued in a new set of windows to strengthen the end, hand painted the cream top section and renumbered it. The roof never went back on properly which bugged me so when I managed to get another bodyshell and roof off Ebay, I decided I would ditch the old one. Well , before the new body went on it had to be repainted to GWR colours as I bought a BR maroon one. So whilst that had to be done why not modify it to an A28 diagram ? Conversion mostly done , my thoughts turned to what to do with the old shell? I was gonna bin it but couldn't bring myself to do it (waste not, want not) Sooooo into Russell's coach book vol. 2 I dived and in a moment of madness I realised with a major hack session I could probably fashion an A27. So onto my bandsaw I went to produce this Oh dear..... But then morphed into this Next the drivers doors were cut out and swapped sides and glued in Then the huge sanding op commenced A coat of primer a slight re filling and some more sanding and another coat of primer produced this (under frame is for the A28) A comparison on the different lengths of the Diagrams Which is the end of part one

You been smoking them funny fags again ?7 plank wagons , 6 plank wagons , LNER cattle wagons , Dean Goods ....all with incorrect specs'!

Thanks Mikkel. Took a peek. Some lovely goodies on there !

Don't you have details of how to order and price ?

"What ever happened to them , Reg?"

No.....that was the Judean people's front !

Blasphemer!

Guilty as charged. Prosecution recommends life without parole modelling LNER.

2 more than were built ! And I thought I was being greedy.

Seriously , how many Siphon F 's is too many ?

They are the 7 footers from Airfix Suburban B's with stretcher rails added from piano wire.

Or another

Or just a plain 'F'

Is it a sin to shorten the K's Siphon F, mount it on a ratio chassis and call it a Siphon C ?

Shows the Oxford LNER abortion up somewhat.
