Hi everyone.
I have not long started building kits despite 15 years of collecting and thought I'd share my builds so far.
My first conversion kits were the FGW Motorail coaches which are now in store.
My first proper kits were a set of Parkside Grampus (rudd) and Clam wagons, which were filled with old ballast for weight, which now number ten.
Then I made the not so brave move to buildings with some Dapol kits including a large two road twin coach length engine shed using 8 of the Dapol (ex-airfix) kits.
Production has turned back to rolling stock though with the assembly from parts of four Mk2a coaches which have been painted in Regional railways blue (1xBSK) and three in faded NSE livery (2xBSK, 1xSO)
Kit building has returned with 2 FNA wagon metal kits from Genesis Kits being recently completed, bar the transfers.
I am now waiting for my next challenge to arrive in the post, 2 DC Kits 150s and 2 Bratchell models 319s (1x319/0, 1x 319/1) which will, hopefully, be motorised with a black beetle in each.
