Hi Jerry

I've been looking at my kit of this box and I am thinking of painting the superstructure and the panels seperately and gluing the panels in

John

Hi yes I'll give you a call

Hi Jerry

Thank you for that you've answered quite a few questions for me

Ta

John

Hi Jerry

Any chance of a close up of the arches

John

Four coach bodies almost done

John

Ooops

I'm putting together a rake of Midland coaches I have four of these but no brake ends these appear to be Bill Bedford etches so maybe I'll give him a call or I have noticed that Worsley Works do some Midland etches so maybe they might do

John

Some progress as I said this is going to be a platform to test some ideas

John

Hi I have just cut a piece of ply which I intend to be part of a small Diorama which I am about to make .Ive never built a layout before so the idea is to try out making scenery etc it will have the ends of two platforms not the whole of them a signal box and a small cottage

Watch this space as thet say

John

Hi John

They look good to me

John

I haven't done any modelling for ages so I thought that I would get back to these etches of midland coaches that I got from Jerry a couple of years ago

John

l have a lot of couplings to make

John

Here are four LNWR wagons that I've received from shape ways these will form part of a freight Tain that I'm doing they are diagram 1&2

John

Hi Andy and Angus thank you both for replying

I have emailed Roland and he thinks that he may be able to locate some but I thought that I would just ask here just in case someone had some

John

I wonder whether anyone can help as I am looking for the LNWR wagon etches that were available a while ago.I am particularly looking for the Diag 33 covered wagon and the Diag16 brake van but if any one has the whole set that they would like to sell I would be very grateful

John

That really is very nice

I should add that Jerry made a superb job of these two engines beautifully finished

Firstly, apologise for taking so long to get any pictures up but Kim and I stayed on in York for a couple of days after the show and then had Trainwest in Melksham the following weekend with my good friends John Greenwood and Phil Coppleston staying for a weekend of playing trains with Wenfordbridge.

Anyway York was a superb show with ourselves and Copenhagen Fields flying the 2FS flag. The habit of having guest locos on Highbury which can come out and do a turn if I think there is somebody out front who would appreciate the chance to see something different and not moan about its ' inapropriteness' is, I'm glad to say, gaining momentum and York turned up some real gems.

 

On saturday we had Tim's MR Well tank which made a fine sight heading the Frome market cattle train. After lunch, Richard Wilson arrived with a couple of beautifuly finished MR coaches.
