Life in a Small Shed

I'm so pleased that I made the decision to model in Scaleseven. This is my first outshop, a LBSCR C2X. It's from a Meteor Models kit that I first built 20 years ago. I've added more detail and rebuilt the frames completely with wider spacers. It's very nearly finished now, it just needs a crew, some coal and weathering although there are probably a few other things I haven't noticed yet.

It's running well with pick-ups on two loco and two tender axles, is fitted with a Zimo sound decoder and makes a glorious sound. I have a huge soft spot for bog-standard locomotives.

I don't claim to have much in the way of technical skills so I have to really concentrate on this kind of stuff. I'll probably ask a lot of questions as I go along, but I know that this is a friendly place :) .

I'll add some more photos soon.

Looks very nice Paul, now you just need somewhere to run it :drool:
Was there a Railway Observer report of one on an enthusiasts' special on the Shipston branch? Or was that in the FoD?


No?, Never mind because the engine looks neat and tidy in the photo. Well done.
