I was kind of expecting a spitfire / airfield type of thing ! Looking forward to whats coming Ian , not least how you sort the banana shaped moulding!! tony

 

[eddiesolo]

A warping we will go...luckily my warped parts were on a ship and it ended up sunk

Looks interesting, was expecting a Spit or something at first.

Ian, do you remember the Dapol Mogul Class I built for my 'Partisan Attack' GB entry?

That was the same sort of quality as yours.....all bent!

You can do it...and what a cracking idea - 2 for 1.

I'm sat in. No popcorn, just wine gums.

Nice to see you on board Ron and don't get drunk eating too many wine gums mate

 

[Guest]

Wine gums? .... . I'm on my way

 

[Ian M]

Well I fell for the title, hook line and sinker! I'm glad I did though, it looks like a very interesting project.

Ron are they the good ones from Bassets or those 'orible hard things from 'over the pond'?

If the former I'll sit next to you

I saw one of these locomotives taking on water at Winchfield station two years ago. My office is one stop down in Hook on the Waterloo/Basingstoke line to the South West.

Here is Tangmere;

[flyjoe180]

Nice job so far Ian. A change from your usual projects

 

[rickoshea52]

Are they plastic wheelsets? Eeek! They're no use if you were going to make this a motorised.
