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

Ezi kits Z26

Well it is almost finished!
The inspiration for this loco came from Ray love's book
Days of steam.2606 the Bathurst shunter I liked the idea of
 a loco that start life in the late 1800's and made it to 1970
 with no electric lights. Just have to clean the wheels, add a 
crew and a load coal and maybe some canvas curtains

Till next

Long time no post

Hi All
 Well the last few months have been horrible hectic and that's an understatement.
But there is a silver lining. I have had to move out,but now I have all my stuff at my
finger tips. So to cheer myself up I brought a new soldering iron and dusted off
some unfinished projects and got stuck in

I finally put a motor and gearbox in my Bergs F351 which was finished as 1042
the Cardiff shunter

Ezi kits 26 class nearly finished just need final fit out,some numbers and weathering

I decided to start my DJH AD60 but this is going to be a long term project

There is still plenty more projects on the way that I want to finish
