    Beautifully crisp moulding, if the rest of the kit is up to that standard, even Brush would be proud.

    Hi Steve,

    9704 Pannier is looking very good, keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the finished model. :thumbup:

    The 47 Class cab looks a winner. Just hope that the body is of the same, sharp quality.

    Cheers, Gary.

    A work of art Steve. The ballasting is the biz as well. You make it look so easy.

    Cheers

    A bit of dummy point rodding, there isn't a lot of this as all the points are controlled by point motors, as you can see by the dummy one in the picture.

    I suppose, if your buying RTR, its an expensive option, and adds something else to go wrong.
    But they do look good, and it's a subtle thing, like that finishing touch you cant just put your finger on that makes a model step up another level.

    The image shown above (post 112) is outstanding and I'm not necessarily talking about the dummy catch point ! I'm talking about the attention to detail in the ballasting, be it ballast, ash, coal dust or ballast with the appropriate staining from oil and grease.

    Absolutely stunning work Steve and very, very realistic. :thumbup::thumbup:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Do you know I haven't really thought about wagon weight to much, I've only been building up my wagon stock recently, I did have a nice selection but sold them as I thought I wouldn't need them for Ranelagh bridge! Silly thing to do. The JLTRT vans I think are fine because the resin has a bit of weight in it. I guess you can tell if they are to light just by the feel. I'm sure there is an estimated weight they should be. I will have a look on some of the o gauge forums. As for my park side van I added a little lead in during construction.

    I know for 4mm, I've always worked on approx an ounce per axel (when white metal wagons were involved - a heavy ounce per axel was used :giggle:), and the NMRA use a formula based on vehicle length, s o I just wondered if / what was used so tany can go and relieve the local church of its lead flashing :avatar:
