Cheers Rich, Not doing much these days, gotta get the study done and then trains later, Thought I'd have the van done in about 4 hours. Wrong!! Hopefully i'll get into the full swing of things once June is gone Take it handy G

Steve, Thanks, Des supplies decals with the kits so theres no need for extra expenditure!! BTW You posted a few bits to me the other week!! Cheers George

Hi Lads, New site looks good boys, Hope it lasts a bit longer this time. Heres the lastest pic of the Brake van, Its all soldered construction and took a wee bit more time than I expected. I have not progressed much further as I have exams in June and pressure is on ( thank Christ that will be over and one with then except for a project for August ), Just really need to start to finish off the painting of the model and she's done. It's a credit to Des and the thought he put into the ease of contruction. There were 2 Step hangars missing from the etch but it was no big deal to scratch build them from spare brass (I thought I had lost them and spent a while looking about for them!!), I used a brass roof and I need to put on the rain steps, Handrails and Chimney. More pics of the etch n stuff on this link if your interested: http://irishscalemodeller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=23 Also just like the Clarify that the Scale Modeller site is not mine nor set up by me, I have not got time to scratch my behind not to mind looking after a forum!!! Cheers G
