Hi Coops, To tell the truth, I've never fully lined a loco, so there's got to be a first, I bought a lining (bow) pen a couple of weeks ago, so I'll give it a go, don't know if I'm any good

G'Day Gents Hi Jim. The older artic set, works wonderfully , some of my older curves were about 18 inches, and I've never had a problem, the new Green and Cream Tourist stock took a little bit of work to get right, I haven't tried the new set yet, still on the workbench. I've found they must be free...

G'Day Gents A lot has been going on over the last couple of weeks, At the model railway show in Adelaide, I had arranged to pick up some LNER coaches from a deceased estate, at a reasonable price, there was a suburban all 3rd, an all 3rd artic twin, a 1st/3rd comp. and a Thompson 'deal' full brake, ...
