In real life, curved viaducts are actually constructed as a sequence of straight segments which makes life easier as the arches don't taper.

Richard,

Could you comment on how the (whitemetal-bodied) Pickersgill traction compares with the traction on your (plastic-bodied) Wee Ben. I seem to recall that you were going to fit non-traction tyres on "Ben Alder"; did you in fact do this on both models?

Alan

Beautiful work and excellent commentary, Richard.

Alan

Keep these articles coming, Richard. They are really inspiring.

Sorry, Tim,

I misunderstood which group the word "those" referred to in your previous post.

M13167M looks really good. All the best with the rest of the rake.

Hi Tim,

Are you sure? My Comet D2119 has "wide" vents (as in Plate 126 of "LMS Coaches" by Jenkins & Essery). If all else fails, I suspect Bill Bedford would do you a bespoke one with whatever windows you want. He did a D2161 for me with "wide" vents rather than his usual (and Comet's) "later" version. You would have to wait, of course!

Alan

Tim,

"until someone does a fully accurate D2119 SK"

What do you feel is wrong with the Comet version?
