Nice one Paul, and refreshingly different too.
...and quickly Bob. Me and the missus are travelling all over the place with them for free on our bus pass! No wonder their trains are wearing out.
Sorry for the slight diversion, Paul

A very different build thread from the norm. I like it.
Looking good, made me laugh when I saw your thread the reason, we got another dog during lock down and as he's a puppy with a little nose, so spray painting is a no no, he won't leave my side you see. So I looked at some wood kits and got one of these Rockets, two others are by ugears, just something to do for now they look fun and to me that's what it's about, are you going to paint it or leave it natural?, will hairy stick mine I think, saw some on Google and they looked cool.
Who do you work for? Used to be a train driver myself till I retired.
Hitachi...type 800/801 series IEPs and the class 385's for the scots.....plus some other stuff i cant mention
going to leave it as it is, did think about staining it to start with but like it as it is
