    Sorry for this Steve, but the Hydraulics look as if they are on a road to nowhere :avatar:

    Think the warship needs a little grime, nontheless looks a very fine loco.

    Ice removed the printed on numbers with a very sharp scalpel using the flat part of the blade and replaced with fox transfers. Shed code plate attached.

    Simple but effective upgrade, in 7mm they look right, in 4mm I've always thought the etched plates always looked too heavy, if that makes sense.

    Severn tunnel east signal box sat in place on Ranelagh bridge, the design is similar but Ranelagh bridge is more intricate. Phil is working on the design once the tunnel mouths are complete on STE. It will be nice to have some completed buildings in place on this layout.

    Adding the North British style fan etches today, I had these done by Pete Harvey. Top quality etches as always. I've also added some more filler to the roof that will require more sanding.
