Hello Jason and welcome

I would ultimatly like though is to model a Peak Class 45, ( and yes iploffy, It would be blue!).

With that outlook you'll do well in here :) Another recruit for the Colonel.

Matey, some of us may model in large scales, but "serious" is a word that would never be applied to us....
I apply the word serious to all my modelling I'll have you know :mad: usually preceeding words like 'mess' and 'f@*k-up' :p ;)

Regards,

Mark

Ah yes, a Peak.

Shelf queen no.5 I think.

Found it lurking at the back...... and it will be green (manic, slightly dangerous laugh.....)

As Graham says, a bigger box is needed.

GREEN, GREEN didn't we teach you anything the soothing colour is BLUE,BLUE with YELLOW ends, I am highly disappointed Richard to ruin a thing of beauty with a sub coloured paint

I have done a couple of Peaks, one green and one blue and I have to say the green looks better......

yeah, i think the peak would have to be static as I am pretty sure that the correct size of box file is also known as a shed!. Maybe I should add a small industrial shunter to the list as well ;)

The more I think about it, The more I am convinced that I need to start with a small project , as this is my first scratch build. I mentioned earlier about the possibility of adding a small industrial / shunter to myto do list and came across D2999 in the book "A pictorial record of the diesil shunter" and thought why not! ( besides it means I can actually get on with something whilst playing with the ideas for building diesil roofs that I have very kindy been given ).:)
Anyway here is a picture "from the bench" of my first hours work on it, not much but a start, and I have to say that so far I am really enjoying it! (btw sorry for the poor quality but the pic is taken from my blackberry)

Well guys, Since starting the shunter scratch build, I have recieved the news that I have got a job that I recently applied for, Looks like I will have to go with the small shunting layout and motorising locos after all!
