  1. Looks good. I'm guessing the plan is for the guide book?
  2. Hornby Railroad teak coaches are too difficult to take apart

      It's come apart now, having broken at least 3 of the lugs that hold the body down

      Good enough for me

  3. That's OK, it was just a thought as I before I see your models I've never seen that item of stock before
  4. Looks great Nelson!! One note, while I'm sure all your models are fully authentic and accurate, for us none Irish modellers, could you include a prototype pic with your Irish models, purely as an interesting comparison? Not that I'm doubting your work, it's fabulous - and annoyingly fast!
  5. No real progress has occurred on the Stirling really, aprt from the fact that I've got the chassis fixed and it now runs. However, when I was at my Grandad's house to collect it, I stood it alongside his old kitmaster model. I'll let you spot the differences - beside the different style of tender, but it was interesting to note how much smaller the kitmaster model was in relation to mine, now I know that it's mine that's over scale not the kitmaster, but still, and interesting exercise.
  6. Thanks Mana.I might PM you in the near future as I'm very likely to have a whole load of questions

  8. This all looks really good Manna, well done! You've changed my mind on what my next project will be. Thanks! Edit: Also, what thickness of plasticard did you use for the sentinel cabs?
  9. Now if Hornby were to put the B12 in the Railroad range...

  10. I agree with Sir Bruce. Boris Johnson should definatley be his successor on Strictly!

  11. Now I realise why people have been getting annoyed at Flickr

  13. Thanks for the compliments. Black does suit it quite well, but it should look better when lined and matte varnished

      Every which way but loose.

  15. She doesn't look too bad, but her gloss finish is so out of place on the layout that she will be matte varnished
  16. Well, motor's fixed, but it's with my Grandad as he fixed it for me so I won't have it back until Easter. However, I've decided to do the majority of the painting myself, leaving just the lining and numbering to be done by someone professional. Below are some pics of the engine as it is currently, the paint work isn't perfect, but it's only the first coat: And for something a bit different, here's the model with the face blue tacked back on:
