Both the gent that designed that and the gent selling it are top chaps to deal with too, cant recommend them enough (you'll find the odd kit of mine on that website too!)

Id say the 7 1/4" one is about as close as we'll ever get to seeing the real one steam! I have a kit in 00 for the hornby royal scot chassis, soon to be made for the Airfix RS chassis too

None to show since the last update Im afraid, I was rather tied up over Christmas, a lot of commission jobs on too, as soon as work quietens down a bit and I get a free moment I'll be right back on that project

E410 on Fenit Pier, August the 6th 1958

Thank you very much, I dont think I have seen those photos, have you a link please?

In relation to the same project, that being a small photo diorama

Hi Mol, Yeah its the table that existed in front of the brick built office up to the late 1890s (this photo is 1897) I agree on photos of other tables being the best option, the one of Bray in 1968 here I think wouldnt be far off

Lets see where this comes on a scale of moderately unsuccessful to spectacularly unsuccessful shall we

You really do put the rest of us to shame Alan! Not only the breathtaking quality of the builds but the pace you're able to turn them out at

Its an earlier W&L drawing, dated to January 1895 according to the HMRS listing

Thankfully this particular diagram is devoid of the ends bowing in https://hmrs.org.uk/hmrs-22836-third-class-5-compartments-9ft-7ins-9ft-7ins-w-b-30ft-o-b.html

From the side as you say they look dead on for GSWR style, I wouldnt know which was the scale model, I just recently came across a WLWR 6W 5 comp on HMRS that bears more than a passing resemblance to the generics... just time to wait until someone re releases them

a seasonal loco? the Reindeer class from the London Chatham and Dover Railway, not an Irish loco but at least designed by an Irish person, William Martley

I hadnt heard about his passing until now, awful shock, great loss to the hobby as he was a master of the craft

Time to pull out the Christmas Elf again
