    Just a thought Andrew but was the wagon over clamped when the glue was setting? It looks like the corners joints are dictating the shape. Seen similar in woodworking.

    The Garrett article was very good. Recommended. Some nice modelling in the rest of the mag also. Glad I grabbed a copy.

    Anyone else who would like to buy a copy, you can ring 01766 530784 with your credit card in hand.

    Any way a non-subscriber could order a copy of NG&IMR with the current change in ownership?

    Second the recommendation for Abe books. Get most of my railway reference books from there at reasonable prices.. Best of all they will save your wants and email you when a copy surfaces. BTW great thread Andrew. Don't stop .

    Perhaps for a little light relief you might consider making an LSWR Steamroller as the basis of your next book.......

    Simon's book has only been out for 6-9 months. It's in his thread in this forum. It's a tricky topic to cover. From amateur to expert. Each will be looking for different things. But all of them are excellent (and in my collection ) I find these posts by N15, Sandy and Jazz etc. to be very informative and welcome. Especially since many kit makers are falling slowly to the trackside..... Long may they continue to post.

    I'm just taking a break from my bench after cursing O gauge for being so damned fiddly and you show me that........ Can't wait to see your 2mm lamp irons

    There's a great photo of a Col Stevens route with a party of around ten boy scouts squeezed in the wagon. One of those must model scenes.

    EKR replied to thirty2a's topic in 7mm+ modelling

    A bit late to the discussion, but wanted to add that D&S do a brass kit for two of the coaches on the one etch. The perfect accompaniment to the Y6. Was on his stand at Kettering on Saturday.

    Part 1 was in 1999 issue no 114 and part 5 in 2000. issue no118 . Sadly I've no idea how many parts it took. The end model was very nice indeed. So frustrating to have only the two parts but the illustrations are very good indeed. If you have no luck pm me and I'll scan what I have. And keep up the good work!

    Do let us know when your article comes out so we can hunt down a copy. Seriously want one.

    Excellent model and a superb finish. Congratulations. I'm just green with envy ....

    It's the anvil that makes the difference. Just that bit crisper. Good luck with Santa.................wonder if he's got any rolling bars?

    Hi John, Excellent work and great subject matter. Just to echo the previous posters, more photos and details please. Especially your coach kit sources

    I bought the 5" version at Telford this year as a little luxury to speed my work flow. Sadly I rarely use it, as it's quicker/more natural to use my accustomed methods. Like all hand tool users you find what works for you and you stick with it. Familiar tools provide familiar results. I will try to make an effort to use it before it gets consigned elsewhere

    Was in the Goods Shed last weekend looking rather shabby.

    Just wanted to say thanks Sandy. Postings such as yours, Jazz, N15, Ozzyo & Sej etc., are a great incentive to those of us who are new to kit building. Often it's just knowing where to start and a walk through is worth a thousand words Best wishes

    Your book arrived this morning, so a quick note to say well done. It's a nice size and set out with lots of lovely photos and illustrations, just right for reading in bed or propping on the workbench. You've struck the balance between detail and general advice very well.

    I was very impressed with your build of the "Lady Armstrong", so happy to have ordered a copy. Just a shame it's oo........
