Beautiful Mr W (the coach I mean), if it wasn’t 3rd class I would say it was first class. What stand is that…are you talking Swindon in April!! Nice pictures against the background, you should have no problem selling them.

Well spoted Dave it should be a first just have to re do the doors. To much to dring over Christmas. I want show our coaches and wagions so just trying new ideas.

It wasn’t a criticism Mr. W, it was meant as a lighthearted joke. The coach is a masterpeace, along with all the modellers work on Railnuts. I would certainly NOT criticize anyone….sorry for any misunderstanding.

Dave I didnt take it like that I got it rong so will put it right.

Thank you for clearing that up Mr. W. I can’t stop looking at your coach… it is superbly crafted. What loco do think a set like that would compliment running round Leamington Spa!

Im going to put this in my Cross Country set from Newcastle to Plymouth that would have been a king or a Castle but this is a big set 12 in all so me it will have to be a King.

A chap I knew who was a senior manager with BR told me the smoothest riding coaches were the Gresley ones!.
Lovely model Pete. Shame they would be much too nice to run out in the garden!. At the moment I could do with a couple of 8F’s and a snowplough…

Lovely looking coaches those…my favourite (being a K+ man), I wonder if I could get away with a small rake behind a BR green 40? Might have to be in maroon by then though…..just as well….not sure I could pull off the teak effect very well o)
