I take it the one to the right of D7010 is D7024? Not sure on the last digit but that is certainly a broken cast 2 on the side.

Would that be 'Carriage Modelling made easy'?

Truly amazing work there. I always wanted to scratchbuild stock but never thought of doing the bodyside tumblehome like that. Now you have got me thinking that i might just be able to make something!!!

Thanks Downendian! Always liked Hymeks in green, blue seemed drab. As for maroon... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/1256926840/gallery_6731_93_294474.jpg

Seems that photo has been taken down.

Interesting. Off course this is the first Calgary show I have missed!!!

I can understand Dave's desire for secrecy, especially with someone else doing the same model, I can also understand rembow's post. I also liked his comment about a news letter and while Dave is busy actually getting models into our hands how about seeing if Kernow will do it? After all they are the ones we ordered from so don't they have all the info as to investors? Won't they have our contact details, email address, and if they don't a message could be put out for people to contact Kernow and provide their emails 'if' they want an update. Just a thought, but would hate for Dave's hard work to become public and someone else steal his ideas.

Looks more green to me than electric blue. I think the shade of the grass is throwing off the loco green.

Thanks Michael, was looking for the photos looking down from above as I was afraid I was getting confused about where a part went. But seems I wasn't. Learning a few new skills from this and so far haven't seemed to a messed it up, at least I don't think I have!

Does anyone have any photos of a completed nickle silver etched pantograph, as used on the EM2 et al. Trying to find photos as I guide as I am constructing a pair.

At the place I work that kind of behavior is likely to get you promoted to management!

You mean WIBBLE! isn't the password?

What a shame. The old owner was very courteous, very prompt. These new guys didn't seem to care.

I believe it did work on the SR actually.

Well you can always get a D5010 from Bachmann and renumber it, but Dave is doing E5010!

Shame as I had hoped to order on the of the kits but was waiting for you to say it was a go. Guess I will have to wait until next year now!

They don't answer their email, tried a couple of times since late last year and never got a response.

Ok thanks, will do!

Be aware that the area between bogies is totally different between an 81 and an 85. I know this as I have made a 3D drawing for both, I plan on printing off the 81 when funds permit.

Class 72 was supposed to be the type JA, which in the end became class 73/0

On behalf of my wallet... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Would be nice to have a 74 along with my Lima 73's but hopefully that will be later this year so that I can afford one!

While I would like to see more AC locomotives produced it would be interesting to do some of the older types, the 86 and 92 have already been done before although I do know that there are flaws with each. How about E2001? Which could also be done as E1000 and maybe 18100, although I don't know how much the body was modified between being a gas-turbine and an electric locomotive.

Thanks! Although I am getting one of your 71's I have always wanted to finish the MTK, it was a gift from my dad. Sadly I dropped it a couple of years ago so have to start from the beginning again.

Just a thought, and therefore a question. Will there be chassis available as spares? Ask as I have a MTK 71 that I have been looking for a chassis for for many years. Tried to convert one but it didn't work.

If someone is going to produce 009 scale steam I would love to see some Darjeeling and Himalayan stuff. Visited there thirty years ago and always wanted to model it but there seems to be no r-t-r for it.
