    Thanks Jonathan, it would be nice to take a look at that sometime. The photo I have doesn't show where the brake lever/wheel is, there is a photo of a bolster version in the original LNER wagons book and it has a wheel but the one in the photo I have doesn't have one, at least in the same position. I believe the photo I have is in the latest LNER (Scottish) wagons book. Here is the (almost) finished article,

    A very wise decision there by the directors, it should give many years of useful and reliable service...

    Next in line for completion is an ex NBR Boplate. It is built from a Parkside NER bogie bolster with a plasticard body, It's built from a photograph and isn't necessarily accurate but it is a 'representation'. The plastic buffers have since been replaced with some modified whitemetal ones spare from a David Geen 13t hopper kit.

    Lovely stuff Mikkel, but could you tell me what the odd looking (to very non GWR eyes) loco in the last photo is please.

    Ok, mind made up - I'm collecting it tomorrow... :D I'll email.

      What's your connection? Is there a garden railway?

    Wow, quite a bit of activity there Jonathan, I can understand why the CCT has been lifted, there's not much clearance for the bogies to swing. I hope somewhere in amongst that lot is something interesting and rare in a dark green box for me...

    Hotel opens 12 noon tomorrow, are we all ready? just about.

    The last photo just needs a station pilot simmering away in the platform on the right... Superb B)

      Always know when I have reached the home land when I can see Her as I drive down the A174 towards Marske. A beautiful and amazing piece of engineering.

    Hi Jonathan, it went together very well although it's a good idea to paint the trusses before you fit them as they are all but impossible to do after, the plastic is grey. It's also a good idea to replace the buffers with Dave Frank's LMS ones, they are very good (usual disclaimer - satisfied customer). Forgot to mention, there is a privet hedge at work that is a little thinner than it was last week, it makes very good scale logs.

    Continuing with the backlog of unfinished kits, here is the Cambrian LNER bogie bolster D that I started on the royal wedding bank holiday. It's now completed with the buffers replaced with 'LMS' whitemetal ones and it has been loaded with logs, they are not chained down correctly (the chains are glued on underneath) so the load can be removed.

    Pete, there's only so far we need them to go with the detailing...

    This just gets better

    The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust, there hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust...

    If you empty that glass first, goodness knows... (Like the glass, not too keen of the contents)

    Spot the difference... Both these vans are built from the Parkside kit for the LNER planked van. The one on the left is built as intended with the addition of 'LMS' whitemetal buffers, the one on the right is built as one of 250 vans built by the LNER for the LMS in 1942. They were unfitted with LNER axleboxes and Morton brakes (they were LNER unfitted vans in LMS livery). I have used Bill Bedford brakes (which took a bit of folding up correctly), 'Craigwelsh' brake levers and 'LMS' whitemetal buffers.

    So, you would say this kit is a bit better than the 20...

    Looking the business Gordon, that's the gearbox choice I would go for, you shouldn't have any problems there. Edit:- you shouldn't need a flywheel with it anyway.

    Milk van now pretty much completed, lettered and weathered, still needs glazing and couplings. Thanks to BillB for the 'XM' telegraph code info. Used Combine ZP for the photo, as recommended by Andy Y. I used three shots, it took just short of forever to process but the results are rather good.

    10 people have downloaded Arran's photo taken at Manchester even though there are no trains in it...

    Isinglass, I don't think I'd have had all this trouble if it had been the D&S one. The start of this kit. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/3252-worsdell-forevers-workbench/page__view__findpost__p__109080
  24. Worsdell forever
    Almost there, the bodywork was painted with 'Vallejo' Model Colour - Flat Earth acrylic, this seems to be a very good match for Precision LNER Teak. Jobs still to do are lettering, glazing, couplings and some brake shoes (another fault with the kit).

    Agreeing with Rob and all others, lovely job, a great bit of metal bashing. B)
