Catch up Time

Well as I have been busy doing things other than modelling I think it about Time for a catch up.
    At the last Doncaster toy and train fair I picked up a white metal model that had been built using areldite and it looked hideous, you could not make out any detail at all. After a night soaking in caustic soda I carefully took it apart and saw that the parts had not been dressed. After a few days I got it something like. I had to fashion a hook from lead flashing and after paying £5 for a model that would cost £38 from Langley Models I thought it was a result. One thing I will say is the model is challenging..

Ransoms Rapier 6ton Mobile Crane

About 2 weeks I decided to buy a loco I had been thinking about for some time, and I am glad I did as it is a Ivatt Class 4 MT Bachmann Collectors Edition, one of only 1000.

 C   Next came a few days building points with a view to another project coming to mind which Cwill become clear in the future .

 And on Wednesday I decided I wanted to build another 3 Way Point

Now we come to the Present. Today I got a K3 pre owned but excellent condition, I have chipped it and removed the LNER decals in preparation to make it early crest...

The other item I purchased today was this little bus as my father, was a conductor for the West Riding when I was a child

Well that's all for now....
