      I must start building railbuses ... I must start building railbuses ...

       

      Seriously though, I've actually got a few in the pipeline - at the computer drawing stage for all the panel overlays etc - with every expectation of progress, when I get some usable free time. I've also been doing some "proof of concept" tests on how best to address some expected issues with these builds.

       

      However, I wonder how many people round here will be convinced until I've got something I can post on a site like this one.

       

      By the way, I fully understand any constraints of space, time etc being experienced by various people here.

      Careful now - or perhaps even 'down with this sort of thing'. Or my cousin from Caerbannog will be getting cross and you don't want to get on the wrong side of him... 

       

      His view is that dog mittens keep him warm... 😉
