With "Pomparles Siding" being booked out to Railwells this year, it is time to re-visit a model that I "finished" the best part of an unbelievable seven years ago - where does the time go?
Built as a "go-anywhere" G1 runabout for the boys, it was based upon a Bachmann Big Hauler (very cut about) and utilised plastic drainpipe and plasikard as its main constituent parts.
Here it is posing in the sunshine out on the line last summer.
The programme of work needs to include:
ScaleOne32 wheels on "proper" chassis, new motor and gearbox, improved detailing of body, painting in a better S&D blue, hopefully lining and lettering and correction of a major error in the cab department.
Carving will start shortly
