    With regard to grey, I have found that Hycote grey primer is a really good colour for engineering wagons. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/car-maintenance-accessories/paints-and-primers/primers/?552776101&0&cc5_143 It's a good shade and looks the part. Also very cheap and easy to apply.

    Believe it or not it was Humbrol no 19. Or gloss scarlet.

    Greetings It's been a while so here's the latest progress. My brother has made a great job of painting my Bo bo and also my pseudo 1938 stock. Various wagons are also on the way.

    Hi Ken If you haven't got it already, I highly recommend purchasing a copy of Red Panniers by John Scott Morgan and Kirk Martin. Lots of pictures showing the panniers on various workings from Pway to rubbish. Mostly the stock they pulled was British rail wagons of various sizes. Best of luck.

    Some photos of acquisitions. The Pullman car was a lucky find on Ebay. Not strictly my chosen era (1950's/60's) but still a great little coach.

    Corgi model with Tomytec power unit in motor car. Trailers use kato bogies. Painting as 1959 stock. Not strictly accurate but doing this to a budget.

    Evening folks Thought I would take a few minutes to share my projects with the forum. Pictures attached, please feel free to ask questions.

    Speaking to Andy yesterday, it would appear that several options are currently being investigated. One issue is that 2 types of buffet car were used in the set when in service and Dapol only makes 1 of the 2 variants. Another question is should it be released as a train pack or as a solo power car. From our discussion yesterday, it would seem that no final decision has been made yet but the aim at the moment is to get decorated samples ready for Ally Pally. As Andy says, Dapol want to get this one right because all profits are going to Project Miller so they want it to sell.

    Just to clarify, first venture into loco building and indeed O gauge....

    Just bought issues 1-3 from local newsagent, new to this but would you recommend removing paint from boiler/valences/front? I was thinking maybe just paint it in wartime black to save on paint/transfers
