I`m Steve from Cumbria, modeling 1950`s / 60`s midland region, I used to work for British Rail ( P-Way ) so might be able to help with that side if anybody has questions.
At the moment I am building a DC kits 2 car Derby Lightweight, nearly ready for spraying, I recently fitted a mashima 1420 and flywheel into the new Bachmann Jinty, big improvement, next job a comet 4F chassis for a old Airfix loco, I`ve got all the bits but never done one before so I`m still looking and head scratching at the moment.
