Whilst still waitbing ffor the new custom transfers from Railtec, I noticed that the solw br was a bit on the deep side so after looking at some protype photos of a P18 it was a case of out with the Evergreen strip to deepn the under the fold down doors as per the real thing. When well set it was pinted. Now just hoping the transfers arrive fairly quickly so they can be applied and the body weathering can commence.

I've now been in touch with Steve at Railtec so hopefully work on the ballast wagon will proceed in the near future.

I'e looked at a couple of the mag in my local shop and was disapponted in the quality of the photos of Drighlington, quite few of them did not appear very sharp unlike the one of Brush Junction. Slightly annoying considering it was mainly a photo rich article and very unusual for MRJ.

A little more progress on the P18 ballast wagon. I'm still waiting for a reply from Steve Bell about whether he can do the transfers for me, the email to him 10days ago, so I have started weathering the chassis. the body will have to wait until I have and the applied the transfers.

I actually used thick superglue on the end of a cocktail stick for my rivets about 50% successfully as far as straight lines go. As to the article in RM now that I've seen it I must say I'm more than pleased with the way RM have presented it.

Some progress on converting the ballast wagon. Sides made and are being test fitted. when Happy i will do the rivets, lots of them???? but to quote Baldrick I do have a plan. The dots by the way are to make sure I fit the sides to correct sde of the wagon after fettling.

clearing out a draw I found these photos of a layout I built (not very well) some 40 years ago in N Gauge. I hope I've got better.
