Thanks for the kind words Russ, a Flower class would look superb with live steam coming from the funnel.

Guy the planking looks excellent, the card is just the right thickness and works well with the wood. I think the caulking method I tried comes into it's own when you get to the intricate jobs around deck fittings and 'joggling' the ends into curves when you can concentrate on the planking job without worrying that the card is in the correct place as well.

I am sure there are people out there who have used card for years and wouldn't dream of doing anything else, it's what you get used to and are comfortable with.
