    Steve Now you just have to find a roundly test track you can place this section into to exhibit it with trains thundering through, to save on building the roundly bit yourself :avatar:

    That would be good, I do want to exhibit this layout and the cassette fiddle yard option is proving a bit of a head scratcher at the moment! I have a plan but fitted in to a roundy would be great!

    Heljan GUV, on opening the box I knocked a pane of glass out so I had to strip it down, whilst I had it in pieces I gave the body sides a coat of clear satin as the factory finish was very dull!!
    I then gave the roof a coat of dark dirt and the under frame a light coat.
    I might change the bogies in the future but it will do for now.

    Ah !! No that's a bit of code 83 as I was testing my American HO scale locomotive!!
    It's surprising what a bit of satin varnish can do to a mat paint finish, I think it does look a lot better now.

    The underframe looks good, the detail has been brought out with the light weathering :thumbup:.

    The Heljan GUV looks great, but the scratch built Newspaper Van is superb. A lot of time and patience has gone into this model. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.
