Hi Tony, thanks for the reply about the san cheng, Im interested in the David Andrews kit too so looking forward to seeing that, would love to see whats in the box to start off with. I agree about the rods and valve gear etc, for me it would be a kit. No real progress on the 40 at the moment, but some stuff to finish it is on its way Mike

the next ones could be sodhaul, sweetruckhaul etc

great Job on the Ivatt, looking forward to seeing it finished,. the black 5 also, would like to see a few more pics of that when youve finished, and your opinnions on the sans cheng Mike

good cartoon about the 70 on youtube Mike

gonna be hard finding photos of Britannia's on fotopic now Mike

cheers, was worried about fogging Mike

Brian, do you still use superglue for the bufferbeam pipes when theyve been painted? cheers Mike

excellent work Jo they really suit the grey livery. yet to see a decent roof shot, on the video clip the fans look really large Mike

whos gonna be the first to scratchbuild one then? one thing youll need is a hell of a lot of warning stickers Mike

Theyre definatley growing on me, I like your 58 livery Jo, how about replacing the crash boxes with split headcode boxes they remind me of a US loco (especially with that wide buldge on each engine side) with european cabs stuck on. I quite like the skirting around the buffers,I wonder how long thatll last, going by history, they look nice when 2 are coupled together, very close. chubby cheeks Mike

some good photos at Stoke gifford http://rtranmer.fotopic.net/c1779643.html Mike

good Brian thank you, no real progress on it sadly, been a little busy over the last few months and still havent got round to getting the bits to finish it off, but its going to be a nice thing to work on over the holidays. I did pay a visit to my local o gauge society the other day for the first time, the west lancs o gauge group, I took it along it and its certainly reignited my interest to get it finished. the guys there seemed to like it and theyre a real nice bunch, I will be joining in the next week or so and when theyve got one of theyre test track lines available for dcc running ill be able to give it a good run Mike

this is one thread ive missed since the forums been changed, glad to find it again, your work looks as great as ever Brian Mike
