Lovely models running smoothly on well laid track amid superb scenery. I enjoyed the video and espied an LNWR open saloon driving trailer. Couldn't quite make out if it was one of the M49's.

Hi Larry,

My driving trailer is the M56 all third, which a compartmented coach not an open saloon. You weren't thinking of the first coach on the Lime Street passenger by any chance? It is a 50' corridor composite to WCJS Dia 30 but the corridor side could look like an open saloon.

Cheers

Hi Paul, my technique for the cobbles couldn't be simpler, just hand scribe them with the none blade side of a craft knife. I usually draw one axis like planks then scribe each flag individually trying not to make them too regular - it does result in you being slightly mad at the end of it though...

Cheers

Cheers, Allan - do you scribe directly onto plain card, or is there some sort of coating? It looks commendably neat.

I've just had another look and the driving trailer driving end I spotted was a cove roof compartment brake third.

It's directly onto the plain card, which is usually artist's mount card - or cornflakes packet!

Cheers
