Thanks - the scarf was made by rolling out a thin line of Humbrol putty, flattening it and trimming it in place. Cheers Darius I’ll tell mum! Cheers Darius

Some more passengers painted… Cheers Darius

Loco chassis arrived and duly fitted. Cheers Darius

Initial painting of the figures. They were given an overall spray of khaki and then details were painted using the end of a cocktail stick - even the finest brush is too coarse. Once the paint has dried overnight, shadows and highlights will be picked out using a dark wash - sparingly applied. Cheers Darius
-
Tarpaulins fitted to wagons. Cheers Darius
-
Thanks Mogul. We already have a Boche Buster on the layout. Cheers Darius
-
Loco body painted. Now awaiting delivery of a motorised chassis. Cheers Darius

Hi DJ it was an ill-fated attempt to combine road and rail freight in the UK in the early 1960s. Containerisation was the way forward. https://cutt.ly/S6woJzq Cheers Darius

Completed Cheers Darius

Two more 3D printed JGA cement wagons on the bench The yellow and green “Tarmac” colours are brush painted Phoenix Precision enamels. I had considered airbrushing but the overspray masking was too complicated. Masking for brush painting was much simpler. Cheers Darius
-
Two more with the scratch built wheel assemblies completed - brings the rake to 15. One more bagged kit to assemble. Cheers Darius
-
Scratch built undergibbons. Less detailed than the kit part but should not be too apparent once painted black. Cheers Darius
-
The tractor units that are supplied with the original kits are AEC Mandators. Cheers Darius
-
Two more trailers completed. Three more on the workbench - two of which will require scratch built undergibbons. Cheers Darius
-

-
Nuff said. Cheers Darius

Smor. Already built examples from eBay. Repaired, tidied up and fitted with metal wheels. Three more original bagged kits to build. Plus this pre-built example, which is going to need some TLC to bring up to scratch. And two of these… Cheers Darius

A year or so no ago I built a couple of vintage Scalecraft “Roadrailer” kits that I found on eBay. When first tried out on the layout the trailers were a bit jittery so I added tyre weights - sprayed black so as to be less obtrusive. Running on the layout last weekend. Some more trailers added to the rake. Built examples obtained from eBay refurbished and repainted. Cheers Darius
