Thanks Col good to hear from you.
I scraped and sanded down the crane area this morning wasn't happy with the colour, to dark, so I have resurfaced it hopefully tomorrow morning will bring a surprise and it will be the colour I want, bit like trying to get 'water" the right colour this is my third attempt.
I cleaned up the track on the BRHRR this afternoon getting it ready for an operating session tomorrow haven't run it for a couple of weeks was getting withdrawal symptoms!
The other night I started on a project that I am looking forward to doing, it's modifying MTH's American Crane.
A nice model but it only comes in three rail which is not hard to change but I wanted it to sit lower and add more weight so while I was in the UK this year I bought some 3mm Brass plate like 4kgs of it and brought it back in the suitcase it's ideal for this modification I have three to do but one first while I feel my way.
This is one of them converted to two rail with Kadees fitted sitting at Picatinny Military Base
needs to sit lower. They are scale I like them but then again I have an obsession for cranes of any description.
