Hi all,

Thank you for all the nice comments.
Next I have been building a Brunel Models waiting shelter. It's been painted into LMS colours even though it's a GWR design. It will be varnished.
Apparently I have two more of the single sided version on the way.

Regards

That looks good, wouldn't want to be cutting the fascia out by hand!!

Hi Grant,

It came precut in plastic, but did need a bit of sandpaper to all of the grooves.
I reckon you could sell metres of the fascia on its own!

Regards,

Richard Cooke

Hi all,

Last for a while (until I get some more things to build).
Tenmille signal kit, with a distant knocked up from spares.
Hopefully I can get a bit done on my Corris No. 3 now.

Regards,

Richard Cooke

Hi all,

A couple of telephone boxes.
These are card kits from a company called Toys we once had. They are for scalextrix which just so happens to be 1/32 scale, FIL is now on the hunt for suitable period scalextrix cars.

Regards

Hi All,

Latest project has taken a while.
A Liverpool Overhead Railway set
Its a Judith Edge OO kit in brass.
Its been the most fiddly and complicated kit I've built, the parts are tiny and a real test of my soldering skills. I've vowed to never build anything in OO again!
Parts for next project have already arrived and are on a completely different scale, requiring a 12" x 30" construction board!

Aaahhhh!
Recognised it instantly!

Agree about 00 though, all in the past now.

Wow, they do look very intricate, which suggests:
  1. You have immense patience
  2. You are highly skilled
  3. You have asbestos fingers
  4. You deserve a medal!

Very nice!

Although, didn't the "Dockers' Umbrella" have a really frequent service? So much so that it was the first non-Underground user of colour light signals in the UK, I believe... So you're going to have to make lots more...
