    Hmmmmm

    I can't see the images. I'll need to look into that. I am using an I Pad. Don't know if that makes any difference.

    I'll be back.

    Cheers

    Cheers

    I have two castles both kit built from JLTRT kits plus a King from the same stable. I have a DJH Brittania built by them.
    I also have a Heljan Hymek & western both detailed up using castings from JLTRT and etches from Pete Harvey.
    The next steam kit will be a 9F from MOK & Falcon should be ready in the new year from Heljan.
    The new O8 from Dapol looks very nice.
    Here's the Hymek & Western, the teddy belongs to a mate. I'll pop some more pictures up showing the detailing soon

    Very nice indeed. The detail on the Hymek looks good and the weathering as well.

    Spot on.

    Here's the Western,
    I moved up the headcode box by 1.5mm, added Jltrt bogie side frames new lamp brackets pipes & couplings.
    I can't take credit for the weathering that's down to Fred Lewis

    What a difference these things make. I like the change of step detail in particular. Just shows the extent of the inadequacy of the factory supplied bits really.

    Nice work.

    Cheers

    Here's a cracking Ariel shot showing the cramped nature of the prototype which is perfect for me as I can model or to scale.

    Talented indeed,

    Where do these guys call home then. We could do with seeing more of their handywork.

    great stuff.

    great potential for some of the buildings in the arial shot as well. gives a good sense of the geography of the whole area.

    cheers

    I've knocked up some of the buildings out of foam
    Board and card board to get a feel for there size, these will all be replaced by laser cut kits.
    The tenements along the back will also be laser cut kits.
