    The trouble with the student download from Autodesk is that when you plot the drawing, on the boarders it states that it is from an educational version of CAD. I would like to know if there is a way of changing this. After a tinker with Solidworks the other day at Uni, autoCAD seams inferior Ian G

    If I had the time (studying is more intense these days for a degree) I would happily build another 6 pack of MMP dogfish, the last 3 are in the paint shop. I always look for afordability and detail and find MMP in my price bracket, not everyone can afford a rake of JLTRT coaches. Ian G

    I use Tamiya 6mm masking tape, this run beneath the top edge of the sides. Ian G

    My last 3 MMP dogfish are in paint along with 2 Buzz Models Rudd's and a steel end Grampus conversion, I will finish painting these before I restart on my Shark & BTU. Ian G

    I have all the brake gear left to fit to my last 2 dogfish and items for the buffer beams. The shark i have plated the sides with nickle silver sheet and refining the bumps with wet and dry, the insides will pe planked with plastic card. Ian G

    I have been tinkering with designing an etch for the suspention of a VEA, but have not had much time to do it, my other problem is finding an Etcher that will take a dawing in either AutoCAD 2011 or Turbo CAD 16 delux, Ian G

    I have asked Parkside Dundas many times if they would but told no, i have enough bits for 3 more VEA's or ODA's Ian G

    I have started on the Shark again, as I intend to plate the sides due to the poor quality of the etched planks, a few holes have been drilled inoth the sides, I will either solder or glue the plates on. The insides will be planked with plastic card. Ian G

    My BTU coach and Siphon are slowly progressing, over easter i started another dogfish kit 3 hours of cutting forming and soldering to produce the basic chassis and hopper assembly. Scott if you are a P4 modeller you get a fair amount of ribbing in one of Tony's talks. Ian G

    I use Slaters Plastic Card planking for the shutters. Ian G

    Next on the agenda is my second BTU coach, the sides have been glued to the base with the roof in place to keep squareness Ian G

    These where my entries into the club competition my wagons built in the last year, also the winning wagon a Parkside Pipe,this is the sort of standard we get to at our club. judging was by Tony Wright of BRM, a well worth Judge and his talks are great if you are not a P4 modeller. Ian G
