    Especially as it's MTK....

    Anyone who remembers MTK will likely remember the man behind it: Colin Massingham.

    Colin's been dead for years. It was often said that he allegedly never consulted an engineering drawing when preparing a new model for production, but just looked at a few photographs and guesstimated from there. If you were (un)lucky enough to encounter one of his early Steamcast kits for BR Standard engines, you'll know what I mean.

    In later years, Colin himself alluded to his idiosyncratic planning methods by releasing O-gauge kits under the brand name "Elcrappo".

    I believe he used to say or have printed on the box hammer or nails not included.

    Incredible detail on the rivets...

    Speaking of, how many rivets are there?

    😂

    Don't  know yet Dave but I'm going to put the kettle on and get counting, what a hobby and relaxing way to spend the evening

    @Warbonnet😜

    Just nod if you can hear me.

    If the junction was exhibited it would really draw the crowds  as the action taking place is what a large percentage of visitors would want to look at 

    Super stuff as usual Noel.

    Hi everyone,

    Just to point out, there is a wee typo on the box of the Galway Hotel Shuttle bus. On the box it says "Cork Shuttle". This is incorrect, the bus inside is in Galway condition.

    Apologies for this, and totally my fault.

    Cheers!

    We won't hold it against you Fran. You might get detention though. Glad I ordered mine. They look so nice

    It is!?

    Yes it is. The standard of the models look so good as do the buildings and scenics. Takes a lot of time and skill.

    If the eyesight was up to working in the wee gauge I could be persuaded to have a go. Especially at a layout like Ashburton Grove. Doing something like Copenhagen Fields is what would make me forget it.
