    Hi there and a warm welcome to you Andrew from East Yorkshire, glad you joined us :hismiley::welcome::thumbs: so please feel free to comment up on threads as you wish... oh and please could you post some more close up detail pics of that lovely 27 :thumbup::tophat: stuff like bogie detail, pipework and the Stones odometer and mile counter would be particularly useful reference material in the test build.
    Kind regards Yorkie

    HI all .
    Originally started out as P4 modeller in the early 70's migrated to O gauge around 1977 . A confirmed Diesel man but main interest is BR Western region 1969 - 1970's and. clay lines . Cut my teeth on the early Dave Parkin kits . Several unfinished kits lying around , I have finished some but then stripped back down to improve and still on the workbench . Built several for friends Class 56, 25 ,58 Jltrt Class 44 . I tend to flit between projects ( a really bad habit as nothing ever gets finished of my own ) Current locos in various stages of build Tower Warship ,Rail Express Warship ( purchased a brass body etch from PRMMP to use )JLTRT Western,. SBT second gen ie brass Class 15 and 22 . Currently building a Class 27 for the club layout ex RJH that someone had started and donated (will post some pictures later ) . Now retired so should get some things finished (just doesn't seem to work out like that ).Still boxed up Parkin Class 37 and 50 . Just to cap it off I purchased for the princely sum of £12 a Classic coach kit (remember them) for no less than Cyril Frezeer RM editor himself at a Manchester show back in the 70's that really needs building .I hang my head in shame .:hammer::hammer:

    brilliant stuff Andrew and thanks for your supportive comments and advice, I really do appreciate that and what an interesting Bio as well so thanks for bringing us all up to speed there :thumbs:. I think if you like diesels you will love some of the stuff which goes on in this place and I certainly know about unfinished projects but its all good fun. Hopefully I'll have an O Gauge prototype display brass 26 to show in the next few weeks... fingers crossed as they say.:thumbup:
