  1. 8.99 I think, which is a bit too much in my eyes.
  2. Already been done, it's on YouTube, both hornby and Bachmann chassis fit perfectly.
  3. It's 3 quid well spent, I may get another one to super detail it and try out some weathering on it, and if the Jinty one comes soon then that will be changed into a NCC Y class locomotive.
  4. I got the mallard one, it's alright, not super detailed but it is nice and worth the money.
  5. Damn, I would have bought this if it wasn't for school congrats to the buyer.
  6. There's 5 here up North so far planed.
  7. Very nice small fine detail there, looks good.
  8. Hello everyone, Whilst major surgery is going on with the hurst Nelson wagon (body joins) I thought I might tell you what I bought at model rail Scotland and what's to come very soon. The kits: 1) Cambrian LMS 12ton van 2) Cambrian 7 plank owner wagon 3.) Cambrian LNER 6 plank wagon 4) Cambrian 7 plank coke private owner wagon (with railings along the top) 5) Parkside Dundas LNER 5 plank wagon 6) Parkside Dundas BR 12 ton pipe wagon 7) Parkside Dundas 8 plank coal wagon And I also managed to pick up some white metal coupling hooks, point rodding, ballast and other small things. So I managed to tick off nearly everything on my list. So all of the above is what you'll expect to see in the upcoming months (hopefully). I also picked up a rather nicely painted Bachmann wagon but the coal load needs to be replaced and the paintwork fixed a small bit and other details are needed to be added, this is only going to take a couple of hours so it's a nice small project, picked it up for £4, not too bad I think. Here's some pics of the wagon in the condition I bought it and once repairs are done ill take more pics. Many thanks Nelson
  9. I'm going to be leaving this one LMS, (future layout hint, hint ) But if I was doing this in NCC, would the LMS letters be smaller and the NCC letters underneath?
  10. Thank you Jhb. I was going for a early ex works wagon (rarely used) and lightly weathered. But I do have plans for a very heavy run down wagon with what you mentioned, replacement planks, letters covered over etc... Thanks Nelson
  11. Thank you Popeye, I bought a few more at model rail Scotland so they well be started soon.
  12. I also travelled with the first Bangor MRC and it was a pleasure to meet you Kieran and many others on the trip, the layouts were superb and the variety of shops was brilliant, I came home with a J11, several wagon kits and many other smaller things, all in all it was a brilliant show, thank you to everyone who made it happen. Great pics, I only managed to take one my self
  13. Hello everyone, Sorry it took so long to get pictures of the finished wagon but here they are now, Once the couplings (dapol) were added, I then painted the wheels in a rusty grey/red colour and also I painted the wagon plate white on the solebar and the end of the brake lever white also. The transfers are HMRS LMS wagon transfers and they handle really well, a suitable running number has yet to be added. The rust and wheels may look a little bright, but in person they look fine. You might also see in the background another Cambrian wagon kit, this will hopefully be finished next week. Many thanks Nelson
  14. Fantastic work and the making of the roof is absolutely amazing.
