Brad, I'll follow this if you don't mind. I have several in the stash in '87 scale. I'm particularly interested in the interior details so nice clear photos if you please. I'll just have a seat with John, Paul, Ringo & George Si and Steve.
Cheers, Rick H.
Welcome Rick, now the pressure is starting... I am slow building so I hope you and the others don't lose interest.:surprised:

Have been away for the weekend, so not a lot done.
Have installed engine etc and added a few bits in the compartment, a couple of pipes, etc, thinking of having the deck open. Tracks are on, didn't like them at all..., a bit of primer paint on.. Photos to follow. Think I'll paint the engine next before major work in the back.IMG_20181209_222902958.jpgIMG_20181209_222912805.jpgIMG_20181209_222940035.jpgIMG_20181209_223003961.jpg

Thanks Mike , … what mould stuff do you use?
Hello Bread,
Sorry to take so long getting back to you.
The items I use for moulding and casting all come from Sylmasta, a uk company, there are others equally as good but these are my preference for ease of use.
Your radios are ready, all you have to do is to obviously clean them up at the back, and you will notice there are two pin holes. jist take a pin or thin wire and run a little bit of c/a into the holes to fill them.
These will be in the mail tomorrow - do not lose them, lol. I have included a pic, but the detail is so small and the colour the same it all vanished.
Cheers,

Hi Brad,
No they were from the Gesutchen.....wagon thing pic I posted last week, and they are small, and on their way to you.
Peter beat me with the destructions from the Aber set, so you should be all set on that side.
Cheers, Mike.

Choices, choices, so many choices. I like the mix of frame and mast ant. on the early 250 in three color. Obs. seating is cool if you have a set of
"donkey ears" on a post mount. PaulE
