Thanks for the info, I'm on the mainland so struggle to do your swap meets, found 3 and another member on here has one so all good, the tippex orange was ugly in my opinion, very odd.

I sent you a PM with regard to the post costs

Will do

Hi Dave

I have a Murphy Model Craven carriage 1st class No 1149 for €45 plus postage if interested, I'm more interested in MK2/3/4 era

Looks to be a cracking day chasing trains later today. Unfortunately I won't be able to see this due to being sliced open a couple of weeks back and on the road to recovery. Looking forward to seeing some photos

 

Get well soon

Lining and numbering on the Flying Scot continues.......

The cab is finished, except for some black paint touch ups and a blast with some satin varnish and the internals can go in.

The tender body is nearly there, one side is done. Pretty hard to get all the lines straight and level, on the edges I did every curve separately and then joined up with the straight bits. The panel I did in 4 bits, and used marked up masking tape to locate the letters.

 

Tender chassis lining is complete. This was the hardest bit so far. Here is a tip- during construction of a chassis when sticking on the horn blocks n suspension ensure that the gap is completely filled and sealed, otherwise the lining decals will slide in under due to capillary action, I spent far more time easing them back out than actually sticking them on!!

A bit of black touch up required on the buffer beam and its ready for varnish.
