    Gern's ROKR Steam Train

    I finished a GB!! Here's my entry for Peter's excellent GB. Not up to the standard of some of the amazing stuff going on here, but I enjoyed it. So much so, I've ordered another train kit from a different company. Maybe I'll get creative and finish another build!

    Box art etc.

    No build pictures I'm afraid, but I'm not a great fan of photography - as you can tell from the quality of my pictures.

    No real drama with the kit apart from my heavy handedness. I managed to smash the front axle and its supports trying to fit one of the wheels. My bad and nothing to do with the kit. Apart from a few pieces which needed a couple of swipes with a sanding stick on the attachment points, everything fitted like a charm.

    PJ is building the same kit, but he's doing more. I'll post pictures soon.

              Thanks for all the support folks.

              I've started the other one I ordered and everything is going well so far. I'll start another thread for it - probably this weekend sometime.
