I've recently been tinkering with a few road vehicles. These will see service on John Farmer's lovely Parkend Sidings at Scaleforum later this month.......once I post them back to him of course !
Here's a few images, mostly work in progress but they should be finished by tomorrow at the latest. All are either Oxford Diecast or Base Toys models.

Lovely, and what memories it stirs. Back in my youth I was a Crusader (they used to run charter trains back in steam days) and our local leader ran us around to events in one of these, and being the smallest, I often ended up sat on the floor in the back!

You've possibly answered this question before, so apologies, but what do you use to photograph your layout? Your pictures are great!
Cheers

Hi Mike.
All photos are taken on my phone. It's a Samsung A71. I must admit I've been struggling with it recently and am thinking of replacing it.
The photos over the last couple of days have benefitted from being taken in natural light.

...suspension looks a bit low at the back. Rob. I suspect that's a load of number and nameplates, isn't it?

Ah yes forgot to say they were the O scale versions....
Still around ..just..!
The J70s would have been a nice disstraction from the US O..but never mind i'll just have to drool over Rob's superb modeling for now....
Cheers,
Brian.

Thanks for the kind words, Brian.
Yep. Very disappointed Sheep.I had expressed an interest in a few. They may of course emerge but for now at least, we'll have to stick with the 4mm versions.
I'm looking forward to the GER Blue train packs which, all being well, should be with us in December.
It's also a shame that Rapido's proposed Drewery shunter has been kiboshed. They were doing the skirted versions as well as normal jobs.

Yes disappointed i am too ,as they would have been superb for a small 7mm layout....but then if the urge gets too much....
