Thought you all might be interested to see where my Dad has got to with his latest build.

At the same time as building this he is also working on a rake of T.P.O. coaches.

That looks like a serious bit of work. I would be interested in seeing any updates on the progress.

Another wee bit of Glasgow's Railway History brought back to life, albeit in minature. Buchanan Street's distinctive end of platform signals finished at last

Platform3 and 4s signature signal

Platform 1-2, much simpler!!

Utterly, utterly fantastic. Model work fascinates me but I'm afraid I have nowhere near either the skill level or depth of patience to ever come close to anything as perfect as that.

Superb!

great work, did build ratio n guage signals once that was a effin nightmare, still toying with the idea of working signals on my new layout (once i cba building it)

ditch or at least flushglaze the lima mark 1's they look so dated with the glass a scale 8" behind the frames

Hi AladD/All - thanksfor all the kind comments, unfortunately I have 14 Lima mark ones which would cost me about £400 to replace with the superb Bachman coaches or about £30 to flushglaze, so the latter may be an option
