Thanks Bufferstop John & Irish Trains :) ,
My appologies to all for my absence away from NRM forums, as due to a photobucket incompatability issue that's now appeared to have resolved itself.

I've been quite busy modelling a couple of projects with the usual scratchbuilt stuff I enjoy doing & so I've quite a few new photo's of what I hope other modellers will find inspirational, I'll post on NRM after I've uploaded several photo's onto photobucket.

Cheers,
Dave ( 0121modeller* ) *lol, only kidding John :wink:

I'm unable upload multiple links from Photobucket, so within the next 5 minutes I'll be editing this post a few times adding more photo's of the JXA's together.
Here's the 1st of 6 photo's;

Hey

As I'm looking into this project myself, I must say that you've set the standards bar very high so well done :D

If I can make one anywhere near as good then I'll be happy.

I don't suppose you would be willing to share the diagrams you used to gauge the size of the originals would you?
