I had to drill a very small hole in the tiebar of a set of Peco points. (It needed a new spring, and the rusted end of the old spring was not readily extricable, so a new hole was needed.)Hancockshire wrote:Dad tells me not to build kits on the dining room table
I now have a very small hole in the dining room table. So be warned!

Hmmm this topic is getting Bungled a bit too much for my liking 
Well I got the interior finished (for the time being anyway) tonight with the fitting of the 4 tables
Over the last week I've also completed the panelling on the ends, and also on the guards duckets, which have also been fitted. This means that the body is at the stage where it can be painted

"It's a full scale model sir....."

After a bit of a lull whilst uni exams took priority I've been getting on with Number 12 again
The coach exterior has been primed, and although it can't be seen too well, the first couple of coats of off white have been applied as well. There is also some white to be applied to the interior
Some small details to go in the guards compartment, probably not present on the real one but something that "lifts" the interior.

Not worth taking a pic, but I've got the white finished and the first coat of green has been put on one side, so the end is slowly coming into sight. I'll have to get round to ordering some bogies, wheels and couplings
