The Glasgow show was last weekend.

Myself and Thorvic crossed the border and joined "natives" Gondor, Jaybe, TSRjoe and Tojo for both What if? and Project canceled sig stands.

My photos can be seen here
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

What a terrific show Martin, terrific stuff.  :thumbsup: :bow:

One year I'll get there...........

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Interesting stuff there  :thumbsup:
I especially liked the B.R. Diesel, it looked like the cabs from two Blue Pullmans
Stuck together  :wub:
Anybody know anymore?

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Your pretty much on the nail there, its quite a tidy conversion done by the late father of TSRjoe.

Thanks for the photo's Martin.
My camera was suffering from an interface problem. You know the interface between the foot-ware and the shutter button.
I was trying some new settings in the camera and got F*** All useable photos.  :blink:

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Oh yes, I meant to mention that too, very clever indeed.

It looks like it's got Deltic or Class 37 bogies, but I couldn't figure out where he got the body from. Then it dawned on me, he's used two complete Blue Pullman Driving Motor Firsts, chopped off the passenger compartments and grafted the cab and motor ends together back to back. Pure genius!  :thumbsup:

Thanks for the photos Martin, the new camera looks to work a treat although that lighting left alot to be desired.

It was a nice show, a chance to try out the Project Cancelled SIG stand prior to SMW, and get to meet some of the gang who don't make it down to the likes of Telford and other SIG shows.

Great pics!  :thumbsup:

What is this?  :o It looks awesome!  :wub: :bow:

Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
