Rails in scale NZBF
Hi all
Just got my hands on the new Rails in Scale NZBF ballast plough
so here is a quick snap shot of what you get
Looks like a nice simply little kit
the brass steps look very good
crisp looking decals with 3 number choices
hopefully it builds into a nice little kit

Hi all
I have just finished my well wagon and what a great kit

looking forward to there next release.

does can they let me know it has happened before to me
but is rare. I paint with hi gloss quiet often Raileys paint i
gloss coat the decal to seal but sometimes you can still
see the decal film and it just looks crap any help would
really be appreciated.

Silverton C class
Hi all
Finally got some Raileys Siverton blue paint so i was able to continue
with an old project of mine. This project was started a few years back
with a left over Austrains V-line C class body that was no use to me
any more. So with a little bit (more like alot) of artistic license i removed
the engine access doors put in a urethane engine i got off Ebay a few
years ago and some Raileys Siverton paint some Mains west decals.
I put on some transfer bogies just to make a little more interesting and
not to waste some C class towers. Just a bit of tidying up and some
handrails then all done.

Steam crane 1080
Inspired by the recent article in the A.M.R.M i decided to have a go
at building steam crane 1080 using the Tichy crane as a starting point.
The article in the A.M.R.M by Andrew Lee was a great help with
plenty of good photos. I decided to do a earlier version in black with a
half yellow jib and a four wheeled jib truck as seen in Byways of steam 13.
Still a bit of work to go but it's getting there.
