My Brother built the Monogram kit of the Boothill Express, nice kit as far as I remember. Think it came with a skeleton in a Stetson?

Not a whif, rather an experiment in Vienna, but...  :lol:





But do they fit louder exhausts on them, too, & does it make them go faster? :unsure:

My thoughts exactly  ;D Some cities around the world make their carriage horses wear "nappies". That's got to get interesting for the driver after a long day  :angel:

London doesn't allow horse drawn carriages for public hire as such (if it does I can't think where) so it's private hire for a wedding or such like or State occasions and then the parade is followed by a little council electric road sweeper clearing up the mess. Used to watch it going up the Mall every morning at 10:00 following the Household Cavalry on their way to Horseguards  ;D Always struck me as odd that the Cavalry always had a couple of coppers (usually WPC's) following on to "protect" them  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

If you take Bernard Cornwell's view of cavalry from the Sharpe books then you might suspect the coppers were probably there to direct the gentlemen when they got lost.

There are horse carriages for public hire in Melbourne.  You can do a "romantic scenic ride" round the city but there are always protests against them on animal welfare grounds.

S'pose you could always replace them with steam-powered taxi's & shoot them. :-\

That's gorgeous Logan and amazing how the change in paintwork and markings, plus the additions of the stowage box and airiels changes the entire look of the thing. She really could be a British design

That looks interesting, and not really out of place. But, IMHO, for a convincing British look the T-34 would need tons of rivets everywhere?

Cool find!  :thumbsup:

I wonder how long it took for some rivet-counters at the show to realize the truth!  ;D

There's a low-viz Saab 38 (looks like a 1:48 model) lurking in the background of one pic...  :o

Besides, I stumbled across this Swedish mini A-10 on a Hungarian website, maybe as an alternative to the Saab 38?

Looks like a scale-o-rama-ed RC A-10 with wingtip launhc rails? Nice idea, though.  ;D
