I got confused there was actually 10 - oops. Lot 366 (6971-6990) which entered traffic with Hawksworth Tenders (from October 1947 to April 1948) - 6980 being the last Modified Hall to enter traffic with the GWR, the rest of the batch under BR. So you've got a very limited time frame for that part of the batch if you model GWR. I got asked to rename the old Replica Graythwaite Hall (which is in Lined GWR Green) and there was an issue and it retained it's name ( I think the name he'd chose had a Collett tender).

Only one had the Hawksworth in GWR Lined Green

His guttering is better

I thought the moss was better

Have you tried Holy Water, a Crucifix and a Pasty with it?

Send the Clay Men to get my Panniers and Flash Gordon too..

Erm, I was an accident

And they'll be some happy accidents when it comes to me

Meanwhile in the 23rd Century...

Amateur - a power cross cut mitre saw is what you need

You need one of the BR Freight decal sets for that

So where have I been... Succumbed to the vile plague - NO. Abducted by the MIM to do a urgent commission for the Grand Inquisitor - NO. Having my usual Winter Break from Railway Modelling - Yes. So what have I been doing.. Finishing of a shelf of doom kit, working on some Tamiya 1/48th Scale Armour and a 1/350th Scale Ship.. Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB - started in 2019. A little German Tank (Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)) A Tiger I (all those wheels) & a Sturmtiger (less wheels and still a work in progress). And yes the Sturmtiger has Zimmerit I mention a ship didn't I.. Monitor HMS Abercrombie So I've had a busy Winter Break. And a busy New Year (so far), but that's for another post

Get well soon Rob, hopefully Bo-peep is tending to you.

Where's the green house and poly tunnel?

Biggin Hill had an 8' 6" wide cab (Narrow Cab, Series I 34001-34070), 41 Squadron had a 9' wide cab (Wide Cab, Series II 34071-34110)

For those Bulleid Nutters out there.. Another restoration project - a R2388 given a tender swap and carelessly renumbered and renamed to Biggin Hill by a halfwit cowboy on eBay, a client of mine brought it and I had to rework it for him.

There'll be more along no doubt

A couple of Climaxes, are they Coventry Climaxes?

Plates arrived here months ago

I thought they were your assistants helping you in your corner of Hell keeping the ballast nice and hot for the damned souls to walk over for eternity as punishment for not ballasting their layouts properly and/or getting glue all over a loco they were working on

Don't cut them off, just clean up the flash. Though the moron who put sprue connections on a top edge of a side panel needs burning at the stake, then hanging, drawing and quartering and then just to make sure shooting.

This is good news and a possible sign that Hornby and Simon are trying to erase the sins of the past - the Design-Clever era, foisted on them because of what happened to Sanda Kan. It also makes sense, now that the rebuilt 4-6-2's versions of the P2 are on their way. Plus gives hope to those GWR, SR & BR modellers who got short changed and disappointed by the Design Clever offerings (GWR Heavy Tanks & Star Class, SR EMU's & the DofG)

Looks a bit rough..
