  1. Thanks Paul, not just me that organises it! We have a well oiled team!! Good to see you, I was planning to try and have a bit longer chat but then saw you on the bus out! Maybe next time?
  2. They look spot on. Bit too far South for my modelling area though!
  3. Less than a week to go for MIOG 2024 at Crewe Heritage Centre. Traders and Layouts updated above. The team are looking forward to putting on another fantastic show.
  4. I've just tidied up the 3D prints I was handed and put tow ends together. A little more work and hopefully it can be cast in one piece.
  5. That was potentially my other options, as I have modified the body to suit 008! I may just stick to 008 or go completely different!
  6. Those that popped past the MIOG stand at Kettering would have see the work I have been doing with some 3D printed parts for the BR PEP family of EMU's (313/314/315/507/508). This is the progress with the first two bodies. My long term goal is to be able to build a 314.
  7. Afraid I don't really know of a kit building service, it may be worth dropping Peter a line, he may be able to point you in the right direction. I have always thought they were out of my price range so tend to have a go myself!!
  8. White spirit and cotton buds, though others have suggested T-cut works quite well but I have not tried it. I even used some very fine wet & dry with white spirit on the Dogfish as I wasn't too concerned about cutting through the paint! I was planning on doing 008, I have a body and all the transfers to do it but now Heljan have picked it I may look at an alternative.
  9. I used to mark OO layouts out on the living room floor with masking tape! Never actually managed to build one though!! Some really nice progress here. putting me to shame! I am going to have to pull my finger out and crack on with a few bits.
  10. Not quite sure where form but I have finally found a tiny bit of motivation, so amongst a few other odds and sods I have dug my Peter Clark 156 out of its box and actually made some progress. One body is now just about done, I have just glued the cab on so that is now setting. and both underframes are well on the way. Hopefully grab a few missing bits off Pete at Kettering next week and might even get this ready for paint this Spring.
  11. Will you stop posting all these prototype pictures................
  12. Scabbing on that first Heljan Dogfish is spot on.
  13. I like Shawplan's, but since using Vin at ProtoNeo its orderable on his website and and there is a good range of diesel plates. They come pre cut so no burr's to file off and some even come with double sided tape already fitted so it is just a case of fitting them. He also does some useful detailing bits. https://www.protoneo.com/
  14. Hillport Goods is coming to MIOG 2024 at Crewe Heritage Centre at the end of March. I am sure we could find you something to practice on!!!!! MIOG 2024
  15. James, as ever fantastic weathering. 37059 is an inspirational piece of work. I am really struggling to find any motivation at the moment and that might actually just kick me into working on something. I really would love to see your take on something of a 7mm persuasion.
  16. Vast improvement Nick, I shall go and investigate what else they supply!
  17. Thank you, that's great to hear as it my first proper exhibition layout, its been a team effort! Soy yes, I built all the structures and do most of the modifications on our stock. Painting and Weathering is normally Cam's domain. Good to see you've come and joined the MIOG group too. Hillport Goods mentioned above will be at our show at the Heritage Centre in March along with a number of other smaller O gauge layouts, one a Western Region loco depot in the 70/80's and a China Clay layout based in the 80's.
  18. Glad Dovedale has inspired you! We're quite pleased with it. Nick G's Cripple Corner above is an excellent example of what can be achieved in a small space with O gauge, we had that along with Peaseven Yard at MIOG earlier this year and just goes to show what can be done. Given your era, the MIOG FB Group would be a good place to frequent also.
  19. Mike, Had it been mine I'd probably have been close enough to pop in, but alas its not going to happen, maybe 2025! Will just have to keep bugging Brian via email. Al.
  20. I am fairly sure it is a PRMRP kit, might be worth dropping Pete a line. Or it might be a Dave Lowery job http://www.modernwagons.co.uk/truck12.html
  21. It was somewhat tongue in cheek! I suppose I had best think about packing some stuff up. Completely not prepared, so you might see me fettling wagons over the weekend!
  22. Please leave the snow behind, we have plenty around the Peak District and I don't really fancy loading and transporting Dovedale in the snow and ice.
