Greg,

Your use of tools, etc. to improve the looks of locos & rolling stock has been an inspiration, but most of my tools, etc. have come unpainted so it takes an age to get them primed up then painted.

Looks like a nicely moulded kit.

Looking great as always Greg

Thanks again for the encouraging compliments guys

Chris, painting up the tools etc can seem a bit "fiddly" but I reckon the results are well worth the effort. (In my own case, I'm used to painting up wargames figures and accessories, so this 1/19th stuff is HUGE!

)

On the subject of paint - here's Sir Haydn's latest piece of artistry

She now compliments No.1 The Earl

Methinks so!

Many thanks again for a first class job Matt, do you realise you've now done all the Westwood & Loscoe LR steam loco's?!

I hate loose ends, so especially for Laurence (and anyone remotely interested,) here's the Lister in action after its restoration;

You'll be able to see further stuff from the W&LLR, including the follow-up video via my website or elsewhere

Hehehe love the vid Greg, what was wrong with the little lister?

You've done very well to get an authentic diesel sound generator within that loco!

Very nice - the tip can indeed be a great place for acquiring stuff. £20 for the other bits sounds like a very good deal.

Thanks Richard

Especially compared to "Garden" or "Aquatic" centre prices!!!
(Though I must admit that the [FREE] advice on what I needed was great from the above!

Really? I was told by a garden center person that I could join pond liner with celotape for a water tight join...
The area looks super, I can see this being one of those photo spots when things green over a bit.

How it all began - 20 YEARS AGO!

I found these old photo's from my first garden railway, the Woodside Light Railway, well before I owned a digital camera so here are the scans...... now I feel old!

Wow. Things have come a long way since then!
