Latest Acquisitions (2020)

[Dave Ward]

Andy,
the word 'Deltic' still brings back bad memories of working on the Napier Deltic engine............. It was used on some patrol boats made for some African State. They'd been brought back to overhaul the engines ( Vospers. Southampton ) I thought I knew about diesels, but they were a totally different ballgame, fiendishly complicated, and shoehorned into a space that was totally inadequate for maintenance! Keyhole surgery with special spanners! ( I think the trains could have their engines removed for overhaul ). I think everyone on the team had grazes,cuts, bruises and pulled muscles from the contortions needed to undo, and redo parts..................

Damn fine locomotives....Production deltics dominated the east coast main line for sixteen years, developing almost double the power of the steam locos they replaced. Spare power units were available so at service the in use unit was swapped out for a spare, then maintained off the engine. This improved reliability no end.
The kit was originally made by rosebud kitmaster and probably predates me....

That doesn't sound like it was any fun at all Dave!

There's a note in the bag Tim explaining that the moulds are over 50 years old and a bit of history about them being misplaced for a while. Quite interesting really. And to be fair, despite a few localised areas of flash, I've seen much worse in more modern kits!

[Tim Marlow]

In this case over sixty years, I think this dates from 1958!

Hi Paul

Can you just confirm - with the Overtrees kits, does one box contain enough to make one kit or do I sometimes need to buy more than one box sometimes?

Thanks.

Thanks Bob!!! Both RFM and Miniart are bringing out J's with interiors. I'm with you on the StuG too!!!

Thank you Jim, I know exactly what you mean. The companies only concentrate on the item at hand and don't research any of the associated equipment. It is a shame and sometimes AM companies try to compensate for that, but only sometimes...…....

Thanks my friend and that's it for now too. I am back to following my rule Fernando, and you???

The overtrees contain enough parts to make one model. In my case, the Lysander, which contains the bits for either a standard Lysander or a modified Special OPs version
If you think of an Eduard Weekend Model, without the decals, instructions & fancy box, that's overtrees!
