Fn3 (1:20.3) Combine

That's rather nice Ian !!!!
 
Looking rather good:thumbup:
 
Hi,

Nice work, its looking good - I like the roof colour - congratulations!

Yours Peter.
 
Well, it's all down to the bad weather :laugh:

Maybe we should re-schedule our activities and build models in the summer to run 'em in the winter :cool::cool:
 
And now one of the bits that I wasn't looking forward to - the clerestory lights :nail:

Took me all evening to do one side - notice it's not a close-up shot :laugh::laugh:

Still looking great, can't wait to see it running. Very nice.
 
Well, I think it's all over now :bigsmile:

The lettering was an issue - what name to put on it that allowed you to write it twice with one standard sheet of letters from Fox Transfers. Anything with 'Pacific' was out due to the fact that there are only two 'C's . Ironically, that also scuppered the 'Suffer'n Pacific' even though there are enough 'F's.

I s'pose I could have had 'Nevada Short Line', but then it's not meant to be an accurate model of a prototype, and there weren't enough 'W's for anything to do with the 'Wild West Sussex' :thumbdown::thumbdown:

So, I settled for 'Central Overland' as it was a successor company to the Pony Express, and the combine would surely have carried the mails as part of its routine.

Testing once the drought is over :bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

So, what's next :laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
A real wonderful job done there Ian. It will grace any of your 1:20.3 locos :bigsmile::thumbup:
 
Fantastic work Ian :thumbup:
 
We need to put things in perspective - this is the first successful full scratch build ever!

So it's only taken about 50 or 60 years :rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:
