What happened at your workbench today?

[Chris Vernell]

No photos, we don't show off when we're bodging

Which is to say we hide the evidence.

Got brave and finally decided to make a start on my TT120 kits, the brake van bodies were sprayed Halfords red undercoat the other day but the CCT kit needed a thin coat of Green so mixed that up with acrylics today using some Tamiya Acrylic filler, not loosing the very fine detail was the requirement that I think I have managed with. Will get a second probably thiner coat later.

Making slow work of a parcels coach, based on a starter set vehicle

Always forgot how long the painting takes, due to all the different sides colours

That looks like an interesjting project, all laser cut at that scale. The set given your me by my father, Xmas 1963, included a Tri-Ang TT consist that was a Bulleid BofB Pacific, 3 green Mk1 coaches, open 2nd, Buffet, Brake and a.......utility (baggage?) van. All in the correct colours. We lived just around the corner from the SR London terminal Viictoria. Yhe consist's significance was totally lost on this then, and probably still, ignorant soul. Until 20 years ago. Before he passed I apologised for my past ignorance. Max

No worries, TT3 is a very long time ago the Bullied was a MN but I used mine as a WC/BofB on my West Country branch terminus. The van was classed as a Utility Van by Tri-Ang, available in Green and Maroon. All listed in the Ramsay’s guide now sadly nit produced.
