  1. Hi, I have been looking at Brick Bridge and getting the track laid on the viaduct. As you will notice it is'nt stuck down yet but gives an impression of what it Will look like. (hopefully)
  2. Hi John Have you any photos of the Prototype that we can see John
  3. Hi Mike The chassis for the Jubilee is from Nigel Hunt of this Parish, you can find his kits on the 2mm association web site. He's a really nice guy and really helpful. Also have you looked ar Nicks video's on the association web site they are a must and so helpful John
  4. Not soldered together yet, my first attempt at the cylinder and slide bars. I have to say that Nicks vids of the Jubilee are really very helpful John
  5. I thought that I would start a separate thread for these. It is my hope to have them at least on their wheels by this time next year. I thought that if I started a thread on them I might Actually apply myself. The princes may be the most difficult as not all of the fittings are available. Lets see what happens John
  6. Hi Nigel Very nice, is it a scaled down Brassmasters kit.
  7. This is really stunning modeling John
  8. Hi I have put some of the fittings onto the boiler, and tried the etched smoke box and its now likely that I Will use the boiler casting and the etched smokebox, the etch definately has the better detail. It does have the look of a Stanier locomotive
  9. Hi a couple of pics the 8F, the cab has been attached and the valences have been applied, Unfortunately one of the front valance has vanished!!!!!. As for the boiler, Im not sure I may try something else. Im also hoping that the front valance turns up, any way it is resembling an engine. If any of you notice any mistakes please say as it would be easier to sort now than when its finished (which might be a while yet) John
  10. Hi Simón Is the boiler tube tapered, if so how did you do it. Also does the Rathby etch have an etched boiler and firebox. Your model is looking rather nice John
  11. Hi Simón The smoke box in the photo comes as an option(I think) so I Will probably have to use the white metal one. There are no other parts for the etched one in the kit I Will have a think. If Im honest I would rather use the etch John
  12. Hi a little bit of progress on the 8F,the smoke box and cab arent fixed in place. The kit comes with a cast boiler and smoke box, an etched option would have been nice John
  13. The reversing handle is fitted, before I fit the roof I would like to add the seating John
  14. Hi I have put the overlays on to the cab, the roof isnt fixed yet as there are some details to fit inside the cab John
  15. The 8F cab, this kis is really nicely designed
  16. Hi Nick Thanks for the comment, I havent thought that far ahead yet, I Will be Looking at your Jubilee video's when I get to the chassis John
