The best way to model metal is to use metal! Brill!

Welcome to the forum Dave!

That looks superb! You have talent there, especially doing it in THREE hours!
I've seen your stuff on eBay, really nice, I was tempted but I have an IP railcar already... But I also think, have you considered offering them in a basic complete R-T-R form? I think that could bring more interest?

Hi

Just back from a week in Devon

Many thanks for you comments Pete , i think i will finish them off and then try again.

I do not have a railway just a circle of track, i get more enjoyment from making the models than running them.

I worked with Graham Lamb at Salisbury for a few years he got me hooked.

I live in Eastleigh,work in Winchester as a booking office clerk.

Regards Dave

Hi

Some more pictures of loco , i have made the front so that its slides forward and will come off all together.

I have bolted it together as super glue not strong enough however i will have to glue the roof on

Looking fantastic! All it needs now is a proper diesel engine inside and it'll be just a miniature version, made in the same materials!
