Current project. 00 gauge Florence No2 in preservation condition. Almost complete just need details such as handrails, dart, window grills, lamp irons, injectors etc.

Now got a chassis painted and now awaiting modification to slide valves and waiting for sandbox’s to be added under the cab. Still need to buy last details for the body like the handrails and dart etc

Finally got the right colour after asking the volunteer who repainted her at The Foxfield Light Railway. BR Crimson she was painted in and luckily this was available in a aerosol form and pot form from Railmatch paints.

Are you able to take the plastic off that’s covering the front wheel? Or is it part of the slide bar.

Does anyone know where I can get the right shade of maroon that will match the coal board colour. I’m planning to make a bagnall works 0-6-0st Florence no2 and I need this colour for the main body and under frame. Because I don’t have an airbrush I planning to use an aerosol so if anybody could give me a colour coded or a name or colour or product please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks very much to everyone who replied back. First time I’ve posted something on this and didn’t really expect a response. Thank you all.

The Ackton Hall model looks great. I’m a volunteer at the foxfield light railway and me and a group of 4 other teens are raising money to restore her. Would love to make a model of her to help promote the restoration of the real thing.

I’m currently in the middle of building a fictitious colliery layout and I’ve used summat colliery as inspiration for the main building but I’m looking for some framing that I can use as supports in the building. I’ve provided some pictures of summat colliery as an example of what I’m looking for.
