So tonight saw the unboxing and start on the tender of this one, to give me a break from wagon and coach building. She'll be finished in LMS coronation blue and silver around the time she first entered service in 1937. I did start a build thread of the coaches on rm web but I've lost all the...

About a year ago I had the good fortune to find 41313 parked up on shed, when I called in on spec to the Mid Hants returning from a business trip. I've been meaning to share the photos for some time, but overlooked to do so. Dave Holt in his thread on his P4 BR Std 2 6 2 mentioned that these...

I like Malcolm Binns' kits (Side Lines). It all started when I had a small inheritance and I bought a Lee Marsh Jubilee (Bushbury 3B Jub 45688 Polyphemus) and had enough left over to buy a coach. Lee recommended I contact Malcolm and he had a Crimson and Cream Open First Period III to sell...

A couple of LMS 7mm signals I made some years ago, I drilled out the ladders on my milling machine, other parts are "Home Brewed" or well modified etches.

I've always had a soft spot for the diminutive 2F 0-6-0T dock tank designed by Sir Henry Fowler (or more correctly, his head of the drawing office Tom Coleman). Looking like a slightly shrunken 3F tank, with incongruously large outside cylinders and complicated-looking Walschaerts valve gear...

As a small break from the loco building I decided to switch to building a MMP Glass Truck. For the simple reason it was advertised as a ScaleSeven kit so I was curious to see what you got. Although that said I haven't got a finescale kit available so I wouldn't really know what the difference...
