It's non existant I'm afraid!

Thank you Gents for your kind comments.

Sadly I cannot be at the Show this year, but I will definitely be there next year and will maybe enter the MOTY, I've well and truly missed the Virtual Deadline for this year now!

Brian, I shall take you up on your offer next year!

Hi All, (Sorry if any of you may have seen some of this on the FB Group already) Back on 22nd March, I managed to get over to the Longmead Branch to carry out further testing on the MPV ... and .... well it was an outstanding SUCCESS!! :lol: It happily trundled up and down the branch during the afte...

I agree Brian, defiantly a MOTY entry / winner.

**BLUSHES** Thanks for the comments Gents, not sure if I should put it in yet or wait till net year when it should be completed!

Hi All, Thanks Jim! :D (Sorry if any of you may have seen some of this on the FB Group already) Well a week of Annual Leave means that I finally have some time to get on with the Project and put into place some of the modifications that were required, in readiness for further testing this Saturday :...

Hi All, Here’s another quick update from the HWLR Workshops as I haven’t done an update since July last year, but I wouldn’t worry you haven’t missed much!! :D As some of you might be aware my Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) Project has taken up a lot of my time recently, however as this is now near on ...

Excellent work Andrew! The Gladstone Coach looks great, and fits into the rake really well

Could it be a 'Dragon Wagon?' so it'll be able to carry 4 in brick-lined "compartments"............... .................. which stops the wooden ends from getting burnt, Tom. DAMN!!! :lol: :D, cant wait to see the finished article, are you going to singe the wood a little, for a charcoale...

Lovely!

Brian, without giving the game away to others that don't know what your building, Mike (WVLR) and myself were talking about this earlier, after it being pointed out, we both think you have made a very big fatal error here (All credit for that point goes to Mike)

Thanks Marquis that's much appreciated!

Ok Thanks, I think its just going to be a case of Brown or Bauxite/Red Oxide?

Which would you prefer 1860s, 1870s or 2010s condition? all three please! I'm not really modelling a certain era In that case maybe you should go for bright yellow, to match your MPV?!! Or perhaps not... Haha I don't think it would look any good in NR Bodyside Yellow, that's strictly for Department...

Thanks also Mr Meths

Marquis de Carabas might know if he happens to show up on here at some point (might be worth a PM) or your best bet might be waiting to see what livery the Blodge turn out the replica they are building at the moment. I've always assumed it was brown but haven't got a clue. Thanks Laalratty! :D I'll...

Hi all,

Could anyone please advise me what colour this Van was actually livered in? I've seen pictures of it in Brown, Red Oxide/Bauxite and one in a Dark Purple/Black colour.

Many Thanks

Tom

Excellent work as ever Mike! it looks great, now you just need a couple of riders (or should I say thrill seekers)

Excellent, lovely work!

Too big for Flagg Fluorspar!!!

I don't know to be honest, I just made it up to suit WVLR's Laser Cutter!

It's fascinating seeing this "design on the hoof" process - the kit manufacturers have done all this before it goes on sale! Haha, its getting a bit expensive now!, and if it doesn't work after all these mods, then I'll turn it into an un-powered PWay Renewals train with a couple more wag...
