Wombat models 30T update

Hi all
 Just some pictures showing the mods I've done to the Wombat models 30T 
I got my hands on a set of Lloyds slide bar covers which made life easier  with 
only a little filing required to make them fit. I tidied the funnel up with some putty
and made some track guides out of some scrap brass. Weathering was done with 
powders. I just need to add a crew and coal the tender to finish it off

A closer shot off the track guides and funnel

Quick look at Wombat models 30T

Hi all
 Just got my hands on one of these new Wombat models 30T classes 

 I have not had time time run it yet but I will soon(ish)
looking at it not too bad but when you remember it was only $350.00 it makes 
it even better. I'm not if I will change the funnel yet or just remove the the seem
but I will make a set of front track guides for it and look into a set of slide bar covers
then load it with coal and weather the living hell out of it

Peter Boormans BBP

Well I finally got stuck in and built this great kit of something
quiet unusual subject. The build was good but I did make a
few mistakes but it all worked out. I decided to make a double 
roof for mine as I was going for 50s/60s time look. I went for
heavily weathered almost retired ready for the low loader trip 
to Dorrigo look.

CDH Models 40' Heavy flatrack

Hi All

I recently found and purchased this CDH Models 40' Heavy flatrack
off EBAY. The castings are quiet good and looks like the old "milky bar"
urethane stuff to me. (but i'm no expert)
At $19.50 for two I think its great value
PS I have nothing to do with the company just showing something I
found that might interest others

The paper clips are to make the hydraulic rams
