Nicely done.  Some people have found a problem with lead reacting to pva glues, although perhaps Liquid Gravity is not lead?  Plasticene is a good alternative to glue, if there is a problem.

Fantastic work.  Maybe you could post a picture of it next to a more modern vehicle (16T mineral, say) for a size comparison?

Very nice.  Looks like a fun kit.  I didn't know that Academy were tooling kits for Airfix.

You could also found room for a Goldsworthy Gurney steam carriage.  The complete engine from one is somewhere in the Riverside Museum, and Grace's Guide has a detailed drawing.

Irish standard gauge (1600mm) comes out at a nice round 32mm in 1:50 scale.  Also used in Brazil.  Russian railways (1520mm) are another nice round number of mm.

"The issue with that is my lack of fluency in other languages"  Plenty of English language metre gauge in the British Empire.  As noted, East Africa (Kenya/Uganda/Tanzania) was MG, and there was also extensive MG mileage in India.  The French and Belgian colonial empires used metre gauge in Africa and Indochina (Vietnam).  If your tastes are more modern, then there are the successor lines in former colonies, plus some lines in France/Spain/Germany.

Thanks George. I now have an image of me modelling with one hand whist swiping away tiny biplanes with the other…! 😄

... and put Fay Wray down.

Thanks. I think that’s a very good idea. I’ve never done any copper plating so it would be an interesting experiment (and I’m all for those)!

That's what I've done for copper capped chimneys for my three scratchbuilt GW 4-6-0s.  Electrolyte was a mixture of tap water, copper sulphate crystals, bought quite cheaply from a local lab supply company, and spirit vinegar.  There are much better plating recipes, but it only has to be good enough to work a bit.  You still have to burnish/polish the surface, but at least the brass turns freely.

Stewart Hine (I think) once suggested copper plating over silver loaded conductive paint, to get split axle current collection through plastic wheels.  I tried it once many years ago, without much success.

Superb.  Maybe next time it might be easier to turn the firebox in brass and copper plate it after?

Some fantastic modelling in this blog (which I've only just found).  I very much like both your approach to modelling appealing, LSWR prototypes, and the Fun Town imaginary layout.  Also, excellent presentation with good photos and few words.  (The opposite, with verbose descriptions and few photos, which is what the majority of the model mags used to have, can be rather dull.)
