Re: Socially Distanced Challenge – CR Class 488 Build
Hi Lindsay.
Excellent work Sir. I love doing the detail part and try to get as much in as I can. I'm not a rivet counter, but I do love the detail.

Re: G.N.R. 32ft Luggage Brake
Google Steam and thing's, they have a transfer section. They do GNR coach transfers of two types, Pre 1906 and Post 1906 and in lots of different gauges.
They are based in Australia.
Hope this helps.

Enjoying the build also, and how the R/C goes together.
Regarding the Halfords primer paint. They do an Acid etch grey primer which is more expensive, but is better on Brass. It provides a stronger base for the top colour. Less chance of paint chipping off of cause.
Cheers.

Re: Edington Junction
I like it. it reminds me of an area between Swindon and Bristol on the M4. The hue for me is just right if the sky was a little darker. But hey, I'd have it on my layout.

Re: SCC - Sparkshot Custom Creations
Personally I'd much rather buy door handles that look like door handles than a blob of plastic that looks like a blob of plastic. I use the turned brass type which put in a chuck and filed down looks more realistic,and you only need to drill a hole and glue/solder it in. after all, we are trying to ...

Hi Bill.
I mean the molded/ printed ones. They are a nuisance to chiv off without taking a chunk of beading off with it.

Hi knuckles.
it looks good but would it be better without the door handles ? Then people could put there own choice on and it would save trying to carving them off neatly..

Re: Dartmouth progress
Hi Paul.
I saw this at scaleforum and was most impressed with the track work. Did you manage to run a train in the end ?
The clerestory coach was beautiful, a superb standard of modelling. Looking forward to seeing it all completed.
Cheers.

Re: The LNWR brown train
They look really good. Who done them for you ? and when you say reasonable, how much per item ?
I have two Brown trains to build so these would be a great time saver.
