well when I say air pipe, I should of said "will be an air pipe untill dad wraps some string round it and paints it black making it look like a vacuum pipe" :lol:
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

This carriage is now very close to completion, indeed i'll give it a test run if the weather ever improves :toothy2:

The roof has been fitted and is white at the moment having been wood primed. It has been primed because in another break with ANLR tradition, the roof will be grey rather than black (the determination for this coach not to match the rest of the fleet shows that the ANLR don't do things by halves :lol:) The steps have been fitted, there are only roof vents and air/vacuum pipes to fit. The coach then will finally be ready, after a mere 10 months :roll:

Totally agree Murray, it is an IMP kit after all! Personally I start things and never finish them, so in my book you've done this quite fast :lol: !

How about after a mere ... erm maybe 3 years?

An IP kit which went wrong so many times i got fed up with it.

However the new bogies (i don't think it would like my curves with the old ones!) have arrived today which should hopefully spur me on to finally complete the kit.
Thanks,
