Hi fellow modellers,
 
just a minor update. Currently working on packing and assembling the long hoods of the 'Flat Top T'. More 3D parts should arrive this week and I hope they are there in the PO box this Saturday.
 

The see through grills on the etch have come up a treat.

Slowly tiding up my projects. Now I have just have to write instructions for the signal box after I get some comments back from fellow modellers when I attend the next VNSC meeting this Saturday.

Being packed this week are the ABU/W and the ABE composite Victorian Railways country carriages.  These will include internal partitions as well as the usual comprehensive instructions and prototype photos to aid building your model.

Well I hope this update finds you well.  The 3D parts arrived and they look fantastic.  They will be a great addition to the ‘Flat Top T class’ and will speed up the assembly process.  The brass etch was sent away for processing and when its back I will start on the pre-forming the ‘Mansard’ long hood to make the assembly even easier.

Also in the final stages now, I’m just photographing the assembly and penning the instructions for the ABU and ABE composite passenger carriages.  As a bonus these kits will come with internal partitioning for the carriage compartments.  Assembly of the partitions couldn’t be easier using slots to join the parts together.  Speaking to my fellow modellers I will also make the partitions for the previous released kits in the range.

Above is the new ABU showing internal partitions prior to the roof going on. The toilet partitions have been left out so the you can still put weight above the bogies.

Price reduction. I have managed to get a better deal on the Ultra-Fine glue applicators and as a result they are now HALF PRICE! $4.00 now
