I think if I didn't get the rivet punch, Keith, I'd probably end up in a similar situation to you and put off starting the kit, which is a situation I don't want to be in! £60 is just far too much for me. I intend on buying a few more kits in the future but I don't kit build very frequently so it ju...

Swift Sixteen
Hi guys, For christmas I've asked for a D class wagon by swift sixteen. I've already looked at the instructions and it says I'll need a rivet embossing press to punch the imitations in the brass. The tool they suggest to use is £62 which is quite a lot. I was wondering if anyone else had another met...

Weathering
Hi Guys, I'm wanting to have a go at some weathering on my models and wondered if anyone could recommend some good weathering publications for garden railway scale?

Figures
I'm trying to find some figures to populate the garden railway at the moment, quarrymen, driver crew and passengers and also some workers for my penrhyn coaches. I really like the busy bodies figures by Rob but they're quite expensive. I've checked out model town too but I'm not too impressed with t...

New from Accucraft
It'd on the US site at the moment but I hope they sell it in the UK. It's 45mm but hopefully convertable? Would make a great loco to 'kit bash'. http://www.accucraft.com/modelc/AC77-101-C.htm
