That souns nice

Will have to try one of these myself at some point, although if they are to 16mm scale they probably wouldn't look right with my IP ones, although they are free and I have wheels so I can't lose anything!

they look slight over 16mm printed out behind cardoc

I'll try and find the time to build one

, can't really look that much different though, not noticeable at a distance, although I might get another IP one at lincoln tomorrow, depends which traders are there really.

So has the scratch building bug boxes turned to card bug boxes now?

I've always built stuff out of card anyway. Have a loco,wagon and coach made out of the stuff now.
My BugBox is all card except wheels and axle boxes.

Fantastic, looks good! Look forward to seeing the completed model!

I am deffo having a go at one of these, if I get time, BUT:

1.I am taking Britomart and Phoenix (and possibly another mamod) to school as i have been given permission to take in 3 loco and 10 metres of track into dt! (after exams) so I can do some re-painting/work on Brit's pistons/apply nameplates etc etc
2. I have UNLIMITED access to the school's laser cutter at the same time!

so i may do some carridges/wagons as well if i get time!

Make the most of that!

Hmm, wonder if a laser cutter will do plasticard... (wondering if it'll be a bit too soft).
