IDR RKPF update

                          Hi all
                             Just couple of photos showing the progress of these wagons.
                            I removed the stowage boxes on one of the kits as per prototype.
                            These really are a beautiful kit and fairly easy to build.

A modelling update for a change

Hi all
I have really busy modelling lately but not finishing much at all.
On the work bench are
1 Rails North BPV
3 IDR RKPF wagons
3 Silvermaz RU wheat hoppers
1 NCTY Coil wagon with Tubemakers Structural signage 
2 RCJY Coil wagons
1 SJM 47cl
1 pack Auscision models NGGF sugar hoppers (in need of some weathering)
1 pack Auscision models RCSF coil wagons (in need of some heavy weathering)
Here a some pics of my weathering so far
(keep in mind my weathering is not as good as Justin Moy, Dean Bradley and 
James McInerney or the many talented others but i get in and have a go)

Powerlines new 48

                       Hi all
                         Well i decided to bite the bullet and go get a new Powerline 48.
                                   Although not to bad i still have a couple of complaints
                                   Green crew (did they think nobody would notice)
                                   price ($315 i guess they will all start going over the 300 mark now)
                                   Shiny wheels
                                   Body hand rails not being black
                                   Green crew (i know i already mentioned that but really)
                                  As the green crew wave goodbye
                                   till next time
                                    Mat
