The latest from the Workbench

 The Trench Wagon is now complete and a new kit is now on the workbench plus one of my non functional locos is on the bench to be completed. I have also got the base for yet another locomotive.

The Oxford Circus Trench Wagon has been completed although the shell needs more work.

The next kit is this working tipper wagon from Phil Sharples

Wallace and Gromit have had some work done on them as Gromits wheels didnt go round.

Another new kit has come from Raven Kreativ

Its a nice, neat snowplough.

I purchased this little wooden box from The Range which will be turned into a small tram loco.

The tipper is slowly coming together

American diesel, 'Bruce', is back on the workbench to make it opperational. Name and number plates are on order and I hope to get it done this week.


A bag of bits

 Got some nice things from Cathys Castings and PDF Models for the Skylark.

Got fittings from Cathys Castings and cranks from PDF Models that will see the Skylark back on the workbench again.

New wagon kits

 As the Skylark has been put to one side awaiting the delivery of parts I have built a couple of wagon kits. A video of one wagon being built will be made soon.

A Phil Sharples Statfold Open Wagon Kit

Almost complete

With lifting handle, chevrons and couplings all it needs is numbering, weathering and a load.

A Harecroft Oxford Circus Trench Tramway Wagon kit underway.

A really neat and highly detailed little kit

Main body ready for strapping and coupling hooks.
