Looks great.

This is going to be a big job and you will need to make a lot of changes. I can help with the metalwork/soldering, if you need any help let me know. Good luck.

Your building up the stock nicely.

Also, if Putin decides to start World War 3 then this will wipe out most of the population.

I must remember that, USE REAL CEMENT.

Beautiful weathering, better than the real thing.

They look soo good and the colour is just right.

They all look great and will look the part.

Give it a bit more, don't be afraid of it especially around the exhausts. What was this wagon for?

Would you not weather the roof a bit? it would usually have a bit of exhaust dirt.

Nice loco, did you buy it like that or did you repaint it?

No box ? must be a cheap one off eBay.

I think the way things are going we will all be back on the turf and coal.

They are a bloody eyesore in the landscape and we seem to be getting more and more of them but the way fuel prices are going I might need one in the back garden.

Beautiful scenes and great realism. The sound in the videos makes it seem real.

Thanks, The top hopper parts were hand made.

I wouldn't do a second one because of the time involved and I need to move on with the very long list of projects in front of me. Have a go and you might surprise yourself.

It looks like anything over 2MB it will not upload. I reduced the MB down and it worked ok.

NIR ENGLISH ELECTRIC 060 SHUNTER N01. This is my build of the NIR shunter No1. I first had to get the motor chassis from a 04 shunter and then build the body to fit around that. Thanks to Kirley for his help with measurements and photo's.

Can't upload photo's, Normal size 2 MB it says 200 error.
