  1. These are unused and in undamaged boxes. I've only taken one of them out of the box. I'm hoping to get around 40 pounds per item, if anyone is interested, as I think these are out of production now (someone can correct me if not) - they don't seem to be available on Hattons website anyway. Again, collection from Ballymena-Antrim or Belfast is preferred to avoid damage in posting. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks!
  2. Thanks Kirley - it's going to a good home I think!
  3. Apologies- I must have misread the note. £50 for starters, then, and you can PM me with lower offers!
  4. Boxed, unused, good as new, and I'm hoping to raise money for a new loco! If anyone is interested, could they PM me with an offer? Can be collected from Ballymena-Antrim area or Belfast. It might be a bit heavy to post.
  5. JHB, has your new book come out yet? I think I recall you saying you hoped it would be done for Christmas. Or maybe it was that I was hoping to get it for Christmas ... Thanks again for all the above guidance.
  6. It doesn't look quite as bad in daylight ...
  7. Well, believe it or not, it was a mixed batch of all new electro and insulfrog points which all came in insulfrog boxes, which I took at face value and burned the boxes before checking, so I'm stuck with them! Anyway, it creates some operational interest...
  8. Thanks, Nelson. I've been comparing my photos of the PW GNR brake van with yours on your workbench thread (which looks fantastic). Could you give me any advice about how you painted yours? I have been spraying with the Halfords undercoat grey (on Leslie's recommendation) which does match the stock I'll be running this with but also collects at the bottom of each side. Thanks!
  9. This is a bit of a status update on those 2 GNR brake vans I've been working on. I started both at different times in the year - the SSM one back around Easter - but am only now getting time to pull them together. It's interesting working on the SSM and Provincial Wagons kits at the same time - but I find it frustrating that I can let two so different but such great kits down at the last minute by poor painting and decorating! This afternoon's frustrations included transfers ... Is there a good way to work with transfers without making them look too big? I'm not finished yet with either painting (cream verandas for the GNR version) or final bits of assembly (inc handrails)!
  10. If anyone is wanting to off-load any of these, could you let me know? Thanks.
  11. I never tire of this layout - would love another video too!
  12. It has been a long time since I have reported any progress, but it is made being made, subject to the usual limits of time and energy. I'm running stock suitable to my southwest Scotland interests at the moment, while working on two GNR brake vans, one plastic and the other brass. I'm a slow improver! Glenderg - thanks for the advice above - I just haven't had a moment to follow up on your suggestions, but I will!
