Nice work Barl, looks great!

Fantastic work throughout your workbench Richie. Unbelievable patience and attention to detail is very apparent.

I don't think I'd eat anything out of that restaurant car, the hygiene doesn't look the best! Great work Anto!

Thanks. No, it's actually a 1:76 scale (OO gauge) Airfix kit. I tried to put up more pics of the build stages but it wouldn't let me. Files were too big apparently.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it's much appreciated!

They look great Anto, your really getting a handle on the rust effect.

It's really easy this way; remove the ends of the railings attached to the cabs only. Leave the rest of the railings in place. They don't need to be removed!!! Lift the non-radiator end cab straight up - you might need to pry it up slightly with a small screw driver away from the body. Then get your finger under the body shell roof (now that the cab is off) and just lift it straight up. Again you can use a screw driver to lever the body up for more control. The body and remaining cab will come up together because they are attached by a blanking plate underneath the roof radiator. This method is really easy and fast. I've done it loads of times with no damage at all and don't have to remove the railings. Works every time I guarantee it!

The lower white stripe was already on the model, I just painted on the orange and added the upper white stripe. I used spray cans and painters tape.

Will there be women?!

I like my loco's like my women; DIRTY!!! I have Anto to thank for that one!

Can I ask what make is the baggage car? Ye sorry, it's actually a Bachmann Branchline BR MkI Brake Van. It's available from Hattons in the bargain section. http://www.ehattons.com/8480/Bachmann_UK_39_180_BR_Mk1_NHA_full_brake_in_Intercity_executive_livery/StockDetail.aspx

I re-sprayed this British Rail baggage car to be used as a steam generating van to run with my Cravens coaches
