A lovely layout and loads of space I do like the loco and carriages nice video also.

Thanks Ian for the post as I was going to purchase some items from swift sixteen but did not know much about them but this helps me decide and I am looking forward to purchase from them.

I have finally bought my first loco kit from IP Engineering and its called the Danny 0-4-0 Loco Kit and looking forward to building this kit. If anyone on the forum has built one of these or can share some advice it will be appreciated.

Don't understand the logic such a waste

I agree a very nice looking loco.

Hi thanks CVLR for the advice on which lamps to use.

Hi your Billy Kit build is coming along nicely very nice indeed and the colours are spot on.

Hi you have done a lovely job on the studded seating.

Thanks Tom for explaining this to me what I could do is leave the brass so it oxidises naturally so it looks more used and not polished.

Hi Tom I have just finished reading this thread and you have done a stirling job on your loco build. I do really like the slow mo in the steaming of your loco.

Thanks Jim and Tom she is getting there a little bit at a time, Tom with me being new can I ask what is chemical blackener and how is it used.

Hi Jim and Tom thanks for your input and Tom thanks for the video, I will look on SLR models website.

Hi I'm looking to purchase a couple of loco lamps for my MSS 0 gauge loco. Can anyone on the forum suggest some retailers to purchase loco lamps from.

Hi I thought I would share a photo of my MSS loco with a few upgraded parts which is enhancing and improving the running performance of this great little loco. Hope you like the picture.

Hi Rik you have a lovely collection housed in their own display cabinet.

Hi Tony thanks for explaining this and great advice on the hinges.

Thanks Tom and Tony I will pop to home base this week and get a couple of plastic tool boxes.

Great craftsmanship looks really great in the frame.

I got a Mamod MKIII Loco and to wagon kits and some plonk.

I'm pleased Bernie has asked this question as I was going to enquire about storing of our beloved loco. Thanks Jim for reply to the question.
