Cheers, Dave. It's been that long since I put my deposit down, I've forgotten what two I ordered! I must have a look back through my emails to remind myself.

I agree, Rich. I have a couple on order. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Young whippersnapper? Last time I checked, I was the same age as you.

The person I bought them from, had fitted LED strips to each coach. Over time, some had stopped working completely and on the others the diodes were beginning to fail one by one. I decided to just remove them all.

Some shots of my Murphy Models - Cravens Interiors were painted, along with adding passengers. Weathering has been kept to a minimum, with the bogies and ends carrying most of the grime.

Nothing ground breaking, but still, it's one of those fiddly jobs that needed doing. I recently picked up these OO figures fairly cheaply online. They worked out at less than €20 delivered for 100 pieces, which is a fraction of what I was paying for the Bachmann Scenecraft seated passengers that I'd been using. As you can see below, the downside with them being so cheap is that the finish isn't the greatest. So, some tidying up and a full repaint of each figure was required. I have also removed the lower part on roughly half, as I'll be using these in vehicles.

Brilliant stuff.

Unfortunately, this also rings a bell. Similar M.O. to a certain individual I had dealings with a few years back. Another David, by any chance?

I can think of a few other words to describe him, but I'll refrain from posting them here.

Brilliant stuff. I love how you've blended it into the surrounding scenery.

Surprise surprise. It's empty.

The fact that I even narrowed it down from this... And came up with Mercedes Benz, deserves a prize. Does it not?

After lots of cutting and applying, I finally got these finished during the week. Unfortunately, I didn't get them all covered as I ran out of decals. But I think I've got enough done for a convincing yard scene.

Ok, seeing as it's you. An empty crisp packet.
