    As flounder of this sorry excuse for a forum, I'd like to point out that there was no harm incurred by any bears or other cuddly fluffy things in the making of Paul's creation. :avatar:

    That's my first ever competition win - thanks very much, I really enjoyed doing something different, something I wouldn't normally given a second glance at. Of course, now I will need to make a second one, plus spacer wagons and loco to form up the train.

    Once again thanks very much.

    Paul

    And of course because you have won a nice Mark 1 coach in Rail Blue also you should buy yourself a soon to be released Class 26 kit which you can build up and paint in corporate livery, that way Another Bridge can go from WW! scenarios all the way to late BR days. :thumbup:

    :facepalm: I knew there would be more work involved. Will need to measure up to see if the traverser can take a 24 /25/ 26/ 27 and two Mk1's.

    First off, congrats Paul, it seems we are bed fellows and talking of beds, I was thinking of a red cross hospital carriage?
    No pressure to demand more work on top of the comp (just add it to the loooong list), at least no one can make demands on my RTR prize ........



    ............ or have I just made a ROD for my back???

    Do it in green as it stands a better chance of mixing in with what you already have. ...... and it gives you more work. :avatar:

    Get two kits one for blue and t'uther in green... there is a lot more work involved painting a BRCW Type 2 in green ... just think of all that measured masking just to get a nice well defined off white bodyside line.
