Needs a drink.

First time I've ever cut into a loco. How do you guys do it regularly?

Just be careful and double check before you grab the saw. :D

Had a day and a half today, so channelled my fury into glazing two class 08 shells and removing other detailing from a donor shell and adding it to the best two of the three.

No pictures, as I can't get the new glazing to show so far.

A few little updates, nothing major.

I have made a test piece of roofing, it looks ok.

I have also cobbled together a way of keeping he scored lines stright, and steady whilst scoring.

I just need to source some thicker foil, then mass production starts.

After an unexpected bonus from work, I have ordered a few goodies from modelrailwayscenery. Hope to show them in situ sooner rather than later.
