That looks brilliant Splash. What are the rest of the locos ?

Recently I had a new neighbour move in two doors up from me, who is a very, very, very keen railway modeller and is starting to tempt me over to the dark side of modeling

Feeling like a change from a/c modelling I thought it might be fun to get my hands on some cheap trains and add extra detail, I found two of my sons old trains that have been sitting in my loft for the last 20 years and whilst looking in a junk shop I fond an old Britannia class 4-6-2 loco going for £20.

So to answer you question a Class 08 0-6-0 Shunter, a class 33 diesel and the Britannia.

I came up with a cunning plan for the transparencies on the little Shunter, when I sprayed the cabin interior I masked the outside of the window this has given me a shape to use for cutting out the windows. I still have the front windows to make once the others have set.

The extra details really help make this look realistic. Nice work.

I love your cunning plan for the windows.

[Nikon Boy]

Great job !

Picked one up recently moulded in Black though , your build brought back many memories when building an original kit many,many years ago

Cheers

Im calling this one finished, it's a great little kit and with a little extra work scrubs up well.

That is absolutely cracking, beautiful work. Love the idea for the windows, def filed away for future use. Been humming and hahing about a Deltic but think you have just swayed me. You can explain that one to the Mrs

I have the kitmaster prototype Deltic in my stash and was thinking of converting it to a later production engine in the three tone green colours.

I love the grimey finish on this, looks like you'd have to was your hands after picking it up. You've set a high bar for the rest of the choo-choos!

That's a real little gem, Splash. Great idea on the windows that seems to have worked really well.

Very well done with this one.

[AndrewR]

Fantastic. It looks great, and you may be setting a trend for rail builds now.
