Phil,
it is from the first batch of NQLRT. At Nottingham there was a HeliJohn version on the traders stand in front of us. Something about it felt wrong to the three of us in the weekend long conversation, bit we couldn't mail what it is!. It could be that familiarity has made us see the NQ one as being representative. The 31, on the other hand, is spot on.
Must add the hand rail to the post show list of jobs!

Lovely pics, Paul - what layout was the 56XX taken on, please?

Thanks Paul, it's certainly exquisite modelling.
Talking of good modelling, is the WD yours, on a new layout project of yours?

The WD is the one that appeared years ago on the Albion Yard fotopic site, somewhere I have a snap of it on a bare baseboard AYd with just buildings plonked down to get the urban feel before it went 'country.
The 9F above is on the same 'Shelfie' project layout, which is pretty much complete. Paul Lunn and I have been making a Right Track series DVD, and we needed this one to show several iterations of it as well as using forced perspective which I've been able to do in a board depth of about 11 inches. Hopefully DVD will be out for Warley14 or before with a following wind! Albion Yard and Bawdsey will also feature as well as a few other well known layouts.

Dastardly stuff! Every time I convince myself I "must" go to a finer gauge PMP posts another shot showing that gauge is the least of my worries. Lovely models, lovely weathering and the "shelfie" seems to be turning into a great photo plank
Thanks Jon,
The shelfie is working well as a photo backdrop, thank you. I don't often do heli shots of OO as that often destroys the illusion, a big help is changing RTR wheels for Gibsons, the 9F having Gibson pony truck rather than OEM. The same thing is very apparent with rolling stock wheels as well.
