Through the smoke and gloom 

Through the smoke and gloom 

I assure you that most of us wish that we could such stunning results.

Excellent work as usual Mike.

 Where you see mistakes we see perfection.

Here it is with another one that I made some years ago 

Hi Mike, I have to say that the layout photos look great already. 

Hi Mike,you have the planking spot on for my eyes. Shame about the glue but you will get it done. 

Superb Mike 

I have been trying to finish some of my 7mm models. I am not sure if I am completely happy with this coach although there is still some tidying up to do.

Waiting to take her train away, while the crew ready the engine.

Not a breath or it might collapse. Literally just resting. The 2-4-0 tank is moving along,this really is a delightful little engine from the London Road Models kit . Hopefully I will get the chassis running next week.

Early days for a 2-4-0 tank .

It does look good Mike 

The first two coaches in the 2pm corridor are up on their wheels,( ignore the roofs as they belong to other coaches) still a fair bit to do. I have put the bodies together for most of them. Although I'm still waiting for the bogies for the 12 wheelers. .

Hi Mike the plasticard for the wagons body. Also for the solebars. 

Nice Mike,what thickness plasticard do you use?

I forgot to post a couple of photographs of my Arniston wagon.  First the interior which I am still not sure about and one of the underframe which I am more pleased with.  I know I have posted one of the interior before but I had another go at it, not sure there is much different.  

Hi Mike ,the internal weatheringlooks really good to me .

Yes it does

Nice looking wagon Mike 

A bit of an update on the Dining coaches. I have made the ends as a separate assembly as there is panelling on the front of the coach which will need to be painted after this I will have to wait for the six wheeled bogies to become available which is in hand.

All looking amazing Mike. I hope that the Coal Tank is a good idea.

Hi , I have started the 2pm corridor coaches I am putting the bodies together first working my way from the front of the train backwards. The dining coaches need some thinking

. What I am going to do is make the veranda end separate,it will be bolted to the main body after painting as the en of the coach has paneling which will need lining. This just a dry fit as I feel my way. The panel which is separate at the moment goes on the other side of the door. When I dig out the blutac I'll post some more photos.
