I eventually finished the plank by adding fascias made of thin MDF sheet, and a working porch light to the rice warehouse. It's a surface-mount...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Recently arrived at my place, a four car set of Series 103 EMU cars made by Tenshodo. I already had a set of the high...
[ATTACH] I was booked off tonight, so my son, my nephew and I made our way down to the club to run some trains. I took the C30T along for a...
Although I’m concentrating on the Belgian Congo project at the moment, I haven’t been neglecting the JNR modelling. I picked up one of these Sera1...
[ATTACH] Between work and poor weather, all I’ve managed to do is get some primer on the loco and the autorail, as well as some of the cars. I...
Don’t be sad, Richard. 3090 escaped the scrappie, and wound up at Dorrigo. From memory that’s 5920 behind her, which is also now at Dorrigo. Mark.
Well, I weakened. I was out at Casula on Saturday to get some bits and pieces for the Belgian Congo project and I noticed a superheated 30T in the...

Another kitbash for the Belgian Congo project. It's a Liliput OBB (Austrian) Class 2095 that I'm modifying to look like an Alsthom Outré Mer...
Yeah Ron, smoke and ash. This is the view from my back verandah this morning. All that clag you can see is smoke from a bushfire that's been...
I've registered to attend next year's Australian Narrow Gauge Convention in April. Now I have a deadline to motivate me, as I've been asked to...
Here's one that's not so well known: [ATTACH] All the best, Mark.
Thanks Gary, not just for the photos, but for being a great ambassador for the hobby. All the best, Mark.
It's easy alright. But in my case my wife is just as likely to be the one gasbagging about them, so I get away with a fair bit myself. The...
No worries, I thought you'd probably mistyped. But it didn't detract from your excellent summary of the model. The superheated versions are what...
The 30 class looks nice. If I was modelling the NSWGR I'd be very tempted to get at least one. Minor quibble though, the model you have is of a...
