    MTK Class 47 painting completed. I also shortened the chassis by 2mm to stop the bogie fronts foaling the buffer beams and better align the bogie-mounted steps with the cab doors. Also by added buffers and buffer beam side valences. Cheers Darius

    Started this morning. The kit is missing the buffer beams. Fortunately I have spares from a previous MTK Class 47 modelled with cut back buffer beams. Plan is to mount the MTK body on a spare Hornby chassis. Joints filled and sanded and plasticard shutter parts scribed and fitted - these were missing from the kit. Primer coats applied. The kit-supplied white metal buffers are a bit anemic (and bent) so be will be discarded in favour of some spares box buffers. Cheers Darius

    Thanks for the encouragement guys, but I’ve probably exceeded SABLE as it is… Cheers Darius

    The OP is a new member who has made 5 posts, including this one, all of which concern the selling of their railway models. Single agenda it would appear. Cheers Darius

    Would these be of any use? It might be worth contacting this guy direct as he may be able to customise something for you. Cheers Darius

    MIR kit-built beer container wagon Looks interesting but the model does not seem to match the picture of the wagon on the box… Cheers Darius

    Please don’t mention those. I’m trying to have lunch.

    I would like to say that they were Pukka, but their bases are too small. Actually it was an M&S fish pie. Cheers Darius

    The newly announced Accurascale “Clayhood” wagon is very nicely detailed but I have several Bachmann versions that are nice apart from the awful, ill fitting, “tea cosy” fabric hood. I have thus fitted aluminium sheet hoods using the thickish foil from left over pie bases. This technique can be used for any tarpaulin covered wagon and the aluminium sheet is easy to fold and keeps its shape once folded. I primed the completed hood with grey primer and then airbrushed a light blue enamel finish. Cheers Darius
