#ModelWorldLIVE - my most challenging model yet. At the time, only the cabs and sides/roof were available and this kit required some creative work to get it to fit together squarely. I also have 2nd one in my to-do box but I doubt I'll get near that anytime soon, lol. #VariousMultipleUnits #bsmrguk

#ModelWorldLIVE - Great Eastern Class 312 AC Electric. I was extremely fortunate to get this kit, in exchange for building a commission (thanks), and it takes pride & place within my collection despite being out of Region, Yeah, rule 1 applies 😂.

Normally on a gloss varnished base with a satin or matt seal over the top. On RTR ready liveried stock like 1529 4CEP i haven't sealed it other than its application using Humbrol Decalfix. Being new Railtec Transfers they're pretty strong and resilient in this case.

#WhatsOnTheWorkbench - I am surprised that neither the BR or SR Bulleid 4EPBs are available in RTR form, especially given their widespread use across the Southern Region. That said, I did cheat a little on my builds. Who said cheats never prosper 😂

WhatsOnTheWorkbench - 4CEP 1529 renumbered with "1066 Electrics" logos all from railtec transfers. I've also fitted protectors to the inside of the corridor connections and given it some mild weathering.Next up are the roof and chassis.

Here is my oldest and my latest. My Lima Class 33 was gifted to me back in the early 80s. I learned to add detailing and do all sorts of enhancements I would never had risked on a £180 Heljan one. Good luck with your projects and aspirations for 2025 😊

Bachmann - What are the chances of you announcing Class 442s and/or 313s in your new tooling announcements this Friday at midday???
Everyone is shouting slim (and a few expletives), but I'm kinda hopeful for one of them at the very least!
