Sir Balin

On the (non-RM) blog, under LBSC locomotives, you mention the Albion Models LBSC D class 0-4-2 kit, but this seems to have disappered off the market. Meteor Models seem to offer a similar range, but would you care to comment upon them? They don't seem to be listed as a potential 'best avoidedl' brand in Buckjumpers blog, but any advice on their suitability for a virgin in the murky waters of 7mm FS/S7 would be much appreciared (that final committment yet to be taken!). As I have just hit the big 60, common sense would dictate that 30 year timescales would be excessively optimistic, but a shorter term goal based on the LBSC/SECR in the Deptford area feels very appealing! Any advice to this rapidy wrinkling grumpy would be much appreciated! An inspiring blog, by the way, and in no small measure the the driving force behind my dipping my pool into the world of 7mm modelling, and joining the Gauge O Guild at the weekend. With best wishes for the future development of Basilica Fields! Kind Regards Ian Ian

Good to see you back! I look forward to reading future updates, as this is one of the most fascinating projects I've seen. Ian

Thanks for the information - a couple of CD's should be headding this way from Amazon very shortly. At £2.99 each, they're a bargain. Have a good Easter weekend, Ian

Brilliantly evocative stuff, even in its unfinished state! What is the music that you have used as the soundtrack? Admittedly, it's well before my time, but still fascinationg to listen to. Best wishes, Ian (Another fan of the 1930's Southern.)
