Cracking job there. More than happy to take on board any suggestions for improvements to the next batch.

3 dots on the first class end, two on the second....the LM 310s also were the same.

Bachmann have a Class 350 on the way soon. I'm sure that other 25KV units will follow if it's successful.

I picked up my set on eBay for around sixty notes - worth shopping around a bit.

Have a very merry Christmas and New Year, Tom. Looking forward to seeing how the new project progresses.

I've been using the Craft Robo for a couple of years to produce the Electra range of vinyls and can attest to what a brilliant little machine this is. It's capable of some really fine cutting, as my N Gauge 501 (with window bars) shows.

Dave, those pictures are awesome - you've really got the cluttered WCML look down to a tee! many thanks for letting me use them for the ERG site.

I can see some serious 150-bashing potential there, Alan! Might be after a set or two of these myself :-)

Are you planning on doing etches for the 210 / early 317 side windows ( or, indeed, the whole thing)?

That's looking really good. Out of interest, I've been approached to do some vinyl sides for the 310/312 in 4mm, which may make the conversion easier.

Actually, it looks like a 2 or 4-EPB Driving car. Seems too long for a 501. I'll check my drawings later to count the window bays.

ISTR the MTK / Fleetline EMUs are slightly under-length for the GF Mk1.

Thanks, Alan. I might put this on the ERG website when I next update but wouldn't want to upset my more sensitive readers.

I have a bit of a thing about spiders and that picture gives me the willies!

Can I have a copy of that picture for my "web"-site?

Looking very nice Grahame but where will the third rail go??

The Dragon Rapide has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing planes ever to fly.

Lovely photos - thanks for sharing!

quite fancy one of these myself!

The 175 is also possible using a GF 170 and bits from Etched Pixels and that vinyl chappie...

That VEP looks really good, Jo!

Nice looking model - just typical that the RTR one should arrive just as I've done the vinyls

I kind of wonder how Bachmann can charge as much for the quite basic 170 as the 150, with its plethora of separate bits and pieces. Would be nice if the earlier stuff could be offered as a sort of "Railroad" budget range.

Wow - any chance of some info on the laser cutter? Those sides look amazing.

I'd love to, though the job situation is a bit dicey at the moment...

Fully you should mention that...my 2700 is started as a cut/paste jobbie from esisting 323 artwork!

Pity the real one is a 20m shell...oh well

I've still got a set of PC Models OO Mk1 sides somewhere. Those screen printed sides are really a work of art and gave me a lot of inspiration for the ERG stuff!

Wow - that promises to be an awesome project. We'll have to get a wiggle on with those 2nd generation EMUS...

Looking forward to seeing how this one develops, Gareth.
