For those that have asked, I have restored nearly all of the images of my London Road Models K2 2-6-0 build of 2019. The thread is:
Kind regards,

Time for a little Insomnia I think.

Nights last night. New points tested into service in London. A bit zombie today but with resolve to find me a new Deltic. To no avail though..
A knock on the front door.. Parcel for Mrs LNERGE. She immediately hands it to me... My favourite Deltic, with sound..

I should be checking out of Hotel Treliske next Tuesday after 6 weeks of care by the NHS. Can't wait to get back to my home bed, but will miss the wonderful staff for whom I will be eternally grateful

Further to our discussion of the RDEB Van, the instructions suggest soldering in the coach side sections and then rolling it to the tumblehome shape. I found this extremely difficult, and think the MJT instructions to roll the side to the tumble home first, roll the side sections to suit and then assemble to be far easier.
Also, I am using Markits LNER buffers-an excellent product, in my opinion.
Good Luck with the build.

Hi John,
I've been assembling the panels on flat and then rolling the turnunder - primarily becuase I wouldn't trust myself to do the panels and the main parts with matching curvature. It's not easy to do (I wonder if perhaps annealing them before fitting the panels may assist?) but doable - I use a mouse mat and a heavy stainless bar.
The only issue I have with the Markits buffers is a lack of representation of the mounting bolts. I'm only using them on coaches that will be adjacent to a loco - for ones within rakes I'm using the retracted cast MJT ones.

A round of applause in memory of Keith Flint at our local Parkrun - very touching.

just being back in familiar surroundings can do wonders that even the NHS can't do.
