Just catching up myself.. must've missed this thread somehow...
...and what, pray, gave you any impression at all that any thread on this entire Forum is "Well Organised"...??!!??

Some of the threads with just the original post and no follow up look, well, organised.

Managed to get a few projects finished over Christmas/New Year.
The Teddy Bear is a finescaled Farish model with turned down wheels, replacement coupling rods, new buffer beams and buffers.
The 08 is from the Association Kit and will be finished in grubby BR green. Both the diesels are based on some beautiful pictures taken by the late Rev Alan Newman - the 14 at Bath Green Park, the Gronk at Radstock.
Finally we return to the 1920's with 'Holly' the Hudswell Clarke based on some David Eveleigh etches. She will be finished in a very fetching shade of apple green complete with some beautiful nameplates courtesy of Bob 'Fencehouses' Jones - hopefully in time for Railex Aylesbury in May.

Wow, that Hudswell is superb! How did you do the rear spectacle rims - is it done on the etch?

A productive Christmas then Jerry, time well spent 
Knowing how small that 08 is, that is simply amazing

Superb Jerry ! 
I would love to see a workbench type thread showing what's involved in loco construction in 2mm

Thanks all.
Steve, the rear spectacle rims are indeed on the etch.
Phil, I will be starting on a NE Q 0-8-0 for Bob Jones Fencehouses soon so, if I can remain reasonably organised, I will try to take photos as I go and do a workbench thread. To be honest its pretty much the same as building stuff in the bigger scales. The bits are smaller but there tend to be fewer of them!

Nothing to say really but just noticed I'm on 111 posts so thought I had better add one as I'm about to cook tea and I can't do it stood on one leg

Next weekend we are out on missionary work as the guest scale layout at Expo EM in Bracknell. The intention is to run the layout in c. 1920s mode on the Saturday as illustrated by Andy York's cracking shot of 88 shouldering its way up the bank that passes in front of the colliery.
On the Sunday we intend to run it in full diesel mode, c.late 60s early 70s, so I treat you to another of Mr Nevards superb shots.
If you are at either Expo EM or Railex, do come and say hello.

Lovely, but is that Warship riding a bit high?

Probably

Far too high - it would never have got further than Templecombe
Mine's a Hymek!

I have pictures of Warships at Bath GP and also on the Radstock, Portishead coal trains. Mind, if we are drinking at the 'Pedant and Armchair' in Polbrook Gurney then the 7F on the previous picture is even more unlikely on such an insignificant branch.
