    Why is it the crafted run down always appeals to me more than the pristine, possibly because the run down has history, every detail tells part of that history, the new and pristine is a blank canvas ready to acquire it's own history.

    Lovely bit of modelling, Jim :thumbs:

    Like you said, it gives the scene, wagon, locomotive that historic story about it's life and how it came to be...
    Thanks for your kind words.:tophat:

    Cheers, Gary.

    I would just like to say thank you to Toto for sending a prize out to me. :tophat:

    It arrived safely and Toto knows that they will come in good use, especially on some O gauge items. ;)


    Cheers, Gary.

    Delighted to hear they arrived Gary. I'm sure they will go to good use. I bought a similar set for myself ..... with great intentions.

    A well deserved win.
