Thanks Moxy, however just to clarify, the maroon was already present on the L&Y tanks. This is how they come from Bachmann, I only had to remove the numbering and add the lettering.

Sorry Trevor, I completely forgot about your comment until I seen the pics on my old phone, hopefully these are good enough for you, it also gave me a chance to test out my new camera haha. Nelson Edit: I still need to add the running number, if anyone was wondering.

As mentioned in the bargain hunt thread, these are for sale again but unfortunately not here in Northern Ireland which I can never seen to understand why.

I love this layout having seen it in the latest RM.

I absolutely love these new Peckett's, so much so that I'm very much contemplating preordering the blue version with Rails of Sheffield. However can I just clear something up please? From this photo you can see the lining on the boxes are blurred out. Was this on the actual model or is this photo digitally edited?

Be still my beating heart Simply stunning

Personally I cannot wait for this one to come out. looks amazing.

I love this model, here's mine and my dad's side by side.

My most recent work that has been done on the workbench was this commission which involved me having to re-letter/re-number, add details along with lamps, and figures to three Bachmann engines. I thoroughly enjoyed this because they are all freelance locomotives which allowed me to get creative and add my own touches to them. Because I had other projects on the go I thought I would be sensible to keep all of the screws somewhere safe and prevent them getting mixed up with other bits and bobs. So I did this. Here are the finished locomotives and I hope the owner is as pleased with them as I am. Nelson

With the Cultra show fast approaching, I wasn't able to build my own NER P7 hoppers unfortunately, however I was relatively lucky to find this trio on eBay which I have tidied up, added a coal load and added metal wheels along with couplings. Nelson

Hello everyone, Sorry for not updating this thread sooner but I have been kept busy and rarely find the time to write updates such as these ones. The first project I managed to complete was this Caledonian Railway wagon, which with the help from Londontram, I was able to accurately paint and letter it. Now it just needs a running number which Londontram has also helped me to source. So many thanks to him. I didn't follow the ratio method of fixing the bogies because I felt It need something a bit more free moving and reliable so I've used 8ba nuts and bolts. The result works very well. I added some real iron ore which helped to hide the metal weights below. Something a bit random but I had fun making it.

The model actually looks really good, and that's a cracker idea about getting 3D prints for figures. This was on their FB page with regards to the DCC issue.

Just seen photos of the weathered example seen here: http://www.modelrailoffers.co.uk/p/50864/MR-106-MR-Bachmann-USA-0-6-0T-Steam-Locomotive-number-30071 it really does look good and brings out all of that lovely underframe detail.

What an excellent conversion, really enjoyed the read as well.

Hi there, Just want to say that your crosti 9f looks really, really good, well done. Thanks, Nelson

That would be this company, depending on the quality of the motor, it's not a bad price if they run faultlessly http://www.oliviastrains.com/trains/mt/Heljan/Heljan-beyer-garratts/

Sorry to bring up something which is kind of old but where can I get some "shipbuilders' sheets." From? Looking good btw.

Unfortunately that only includes the shortened down letters and not the full wording.

I bought a sheet of 7mm hopper transfers from Slaters recently and while the old sheet I had, had "North Eastern Railway" the new one didn't and is all LNER and BR only. I highly doubt coopercraft will have any.

Hello Paul, would you be able please to tell me where I can get "north eastern railway" transfers? I have 4 P7 hoppers to re paint and letter. Thanks.

Lovely little wagon

Excellent news might have to get one
