The bench

On my bench now are several projects, to greedy to just have one on the go!

These include an old Hornby Princess in for a complete make over and detailing, going to be Margrat Rose in BR Maroon, haven't touched this one for awile, one side is lined out and all the paint work is complete, but it has a hefty layer of dust now.

Other projects are a B17/5 Streamliner East Anglian, am just collecting the parts for this one but should be able to make a start after Xmas, this is going to be a heavilly bashed Hornby A4 body on the Horby B17 chassis, looking forward to doing thisone!

And just arrived this weekend is my long awaited Cooper Craft Silver Jubiliee Set, just need the wheel sets and Hornby booggies, paint, lining, better with to spray it outside, correct alinement of the sun with mars, a job that allows better modelling time and of course, permision from 'she who must be obayed' to dissapear for a couple of monthe into the model room!

I love the look of the projects you all have on the go, I hope mine will look as good.

Happy modelling

Hi Peter,

Never heard of these Dean Sidings, are they a kit or brass parts?

If brass I don't have the skills or the tools. I work manly with plastic as its a throw back from the old days with aircraft kits when I was younger!

Also whats a 'bow' pen?

I have heard of lining pens that you put paint in from the humbrel tins (a friend Bob Moore makes them) but never used one before.

When I make a start on it I will try and post some pics, its going to be turned into an artical for the RM mag

They should all be in capitals and the one at the right hand end should be [/IMG]

Those are pretty awesome locos Ozzie. Well impressed. That Allegheny is a stunner.

Neil, Thats the Allegheny that's up for sale if anyone is interested. It's DCC fitted, working lights, twin Grizzily Mountain Engineering Chuff cams and a Tsnumai sound decoder. It's a Key model of 86 vintage I think. A$2200 and it's yours.

Tempted though I am Ozzie, I'd better decline that one as I'd be getting divorced if I went for it. It really is a beaut though.

Well here's one. This is a NSWGR C.38 class pacific. The first 5 were built in a streamlined form but I prefer the non streamlined. I hope this one works.

Well that one worked so here's a couple more. The Lickey banker under construction. The as supplied pickups arent real good so I'm making new ones.


The front engine of the Garrett under construction.


Same item but with the water tank fitted.


And the rear bunker.

And lastly my old train shed before the US layout was torn up in favour of a british outline layout


And thats me

Aw Neil, be a man!! You could at least torment her with the picture. I'll send you a better one when I head down south in a few days. I haven't got to many pictures of my locos on this laptop due to limited space.
