Hi,

According to my 1976 RCTS Coaching stck book, only 9115, 9128, 9131, 9132 & 9135 were still in service. Non appear in the 1978 version so Bob`s assumption is probably right.

The only LNER Buffet cars shown for 1978 are the two Thompson ones, 1705/6.

I see I have 9132 and 9135 underlined.

Hi Dibateg,

The rivets on the top of the tender tank look a little on the large side. Do Scale Hardware make smaller ones or is it just the camera angle do you think ?.

P.S. I was just about to order some and now feel a little worried.

Hi Jazz,

Looking good as usual. Just as a matter of interest as you build a lot of kits, if we put Finney and Mitchell to one side for a moment, whose kits do you prefer to build and which in your experience falls at the first hurdle ?.

Do you prefer some as being more complete than others, or are there any which you prefer to build knowing you can add a lot more detail to ?.

Regards

Ian

Hi Jazz,

Another good looking engine but, I cannot find an engine photograph of a County with a steam heat pipe on the front bufferbeam. Maybe you know better than I. Which locomotive is it to be by the way ?.

What is next on the workbench ?.

Regards

Ian

Hello Rob,

Will you be showing us the Q7 build ?. I built one from the DJH kit many years ago and I think it was that particular engine that tipped me over the edge into 7mm and scratchbuilding.

Hi Jazz,

Looking good as usual but, should that not be a rectangular tank filler on the back of the tender ?.

Keep up the good work

Regards

Ian
