    Purchased from a rather interesting website as provided by Rob Pulham, here is one of my latest O gauge purchases .......

    a shifty at the brass etch sheets as they come .......

    they are noticeably thinner brass etches than that supplied by some of the other manufacturers and have some great detailing parts. not at the top of my to build list until I get some experience under my belt ......

    one of the tank with composite end panels ........

    and another view of the same. there is quite a lot of fine rivet detail on the panel joints.
    nice kit ...... thanks for the introduction Rob ........... you have a lot to answer for. :avatar:
    cheers

    Hi Toto,
    Looking at the MMP website is a slippery slope. Thankfully most of their kits are too late for me but I must confess I would love to build one of those tank wagons just for the fun of it.
    Did you venture a look at the Mark 1 carriages - over a 1000 parts in each one, lovely..

    Hi Rob,

    Thankfully that's something I don't have a lot of room for. Don't rule them out though. :avatar: I want to see how the easy build versions come together.

    The new Darstead versions look OK as well. :facepalm:

    As I said thankfully they were born too late for me. I do have half a dozen Kemilway coaches in the stash which are of a similar specification.
