Seems to have been a while since I updated. I've had to move on to some more portable projects while travelling again. Anyway, here is where we are with what's on (or just off) the WB at the moment. The GE coach still isn't quite finished; after I'd added the pipe runs which Boeing757 had pointed out (both my photos were beside a platform) I had to make good the roof/clerestory join (memo to self - don't clog the holes up with roof mixture next time) and then it took a dive off where it was drying and fell down the back of the water tank, sustaining some damage when recovered. This week should see it done, though.
The picture Boeing referred to, incidentally, is at

The Sentinel is about complete and just needs coal and a crew - who are drying in the airing cupboard as we speak. I added the very prominent guard irons and blacked the wheels. I can see that the front pulley of the BullAnt and the flywheel will need blacking as well. It's haulage capacity is impressive for what looks a very small power unit.
The coal wagons for
Corfe are also done and the loads for them are under way. The different names are due to my inability to remember two initials for more than (apparently) a couple of days.
A couple of blasts from the past: I must have finished these shortly before we moved house in 2006 as they've never been weathered and I'd forgotten I even had them. They turned up in a box over the weekend. One on the left is a Genesis LNER open, the other is (I think) the GC gunpowder van from 51L. They can go into the next weathering batch now they've seen the light again.
Finally the next project up and intended to be done for York; SBAFB (Belgian) Hcf ferry vans. These are a resin casting by Jon Hall which I'm backdating from his 1970s version. I have 6 to do: this one has had almost all the side detailing done so I can get an impression of how it looks and experiment with some of the bits I have to make up.
