    There appear to be a greater than normal number of Silver Fox A Class loco models on the Bay of e at the moment. Can’t think why this might be the case. Cheers Darius

    Hi Jason, It’s made from a downloaded “kit” from Smart Models where you print out the parts on photopaper, glue them to cardboard sheets, cut them out and assemble them. Lowgates Signal Box Cheers Darius

    The only downside with Parkside kits is that the van bodies are lightly smaller than the floor/chassis. They are very consistent with this fault so it pays to sand the floor a bit smaller all round. Not sure why they have been designed this way - perhaps it’s a shrinkage phenomenon. Suffice it to say that the kit designer would be singing soprano if we were ever to meet… Cheers Darius PS you also have to distort the chassis to get the wagons to sit square on the track - or use compensation.

    DCC Ready… Basic cab interior made from plasticard. Not too much detail as not much is really visible. Cheers Darius

    A few more details to the cab fronts and light weathering to the chassis. Next and final task is to wire up and test the motor. Cheers Darius

    It’s the “ready to assemble” kit with the wheels package. The glazing is included. It was purchased from his stall at Ally Pally a couple of weekends ago. Cheers Darius

    World of Books is just up the road from me in Goring by Sea. I have used them many times, usually through the Abebooks second hand book website, which I would also highly recommend. Cheers Darius

    I think RMWeb is being migrated to a new host. Could take some time… Fortunately for me I am over here as well as over there and it’s much, much nicer over here. Cheers Darius
