That was the thinking..hope it works!

I was thinking of getting a vinyl from a photoshop design printed up to replicate the platform tiling. I think that will be the easiest way..otherwise alot of masking and spay painting.

Good idea would give a nice finish the other way is more difficult, fantastic work keep going it will be worth it, looking forward to seeing more updates

Kent fine Station a step back in time red brick building and white square tile design on the curved platform, difficult to model have tried,  fantastic model above looking forward to seeing it develop, well done

No shortage of projects, really like the MK4 are first

I won't be making any more predictions for possible new releases ........... MK4 coaches

Great to see new Freight services hopefully more will develop with the soon to be announced strategic freight plan

Anyone still having problems with Hattons ?

I just bought a RTR item & was charged the UK vat rate on the item.

I've sent them a message about it & await a reply.

I recently brought a gaugemaster kit from Hattons was charged UK vat and then I got a request from An Post for customs vat and An Post Fee, emailed Hattons and to be fair they refunded the vat and An Post fee

it  took a week for the parcel to be delivered after paying vat etc

Congrats IRM  another stunning model,  coaches with close coupling and onboard lighting will look excellent with the A class

MK 4 Coaches and DVT

Also, I see that Marks Models now have 15 of the 17 listed, just missing one B/T and the limited edition.

One B/T sold out 23R

Exactly!

The old guys had their turn with the A Class, now it's time for something modern!

How many hours left until Thursday?

Too many.

Roll on Thursday

Looking forward to the announcement will it be Mk4 and Dvt  similiar to the Accurascale Mk5 coaches look excellent

The 1990s great era, plenty of loco hauled trains and a variety of freight trains

According to the railway safety inspectors report the crack was caused by poor weld repairs during maintenance in either 2010 or 2019, IE has now introduced weld repair books to record the location and detail of every new weld as well as adopting the international recognised standard for weld repairs 

Disappointing but the best decision hard to believe it will be the best part of 3 years between the shows, looked forward to travelling up to the show each year, hopeful for 2022
