This week has seen the arrival of a couple of new items in the post for Bank Top. Firstly, we have a trio of new trees from the MBR models range in lovely autumn shades. I am so pleased whenever I see these trees from this company. So much time and effort is taken into making them from scratch with each order and they look wonderful. Well worth the wait.
Also, we have a new addition to the fleet - one of the Rapido 16xx pannier tanks. I was tempted by an NCB liveried one but I opted for a BR one so I can use it for other projects. She is having some running in time on the rollers and is already much smoother. The model is rather weighty and is highly detailed. I'll use the chain couplings as usual with Bank Top. Once she is running smoothly then I'll add the usual details of crew, lamp(s), coal, brass number plate and some oil cans on the running plate.
Here we have the Peckett again at rest by the water tank after bringing in some internal user wagons.
