I bought this kit around a year ago but never done anything with it. Kept it as I knew I'd build it eventually & so far I'm loving it. There's so many parts, screws & work to be done

I have a couple of questions. I've been searching for UK liveried photo's as I want to see if there's any extra decals that may need applied. The problem I have is there doesn't seem to be a 1850 version in real life. Only altegos & other 18XX variants.

Anyways here's the little I've got done so far. 1 mistake forgot to order the a carson truck puller for it !

Hi Sharkey, Thanks for welcome I'm not sure which country is colder at the minute It's freezing over here !

This forum is the most active I've found & looking through the builds on here all I can say is wow. Just been reading your MAN Refresh thread looking sharp with the new paint

Thanks again !

Looks like I'll be booking some time off work. Something to look forward too already. Oh forgot any chance of an Edmonton Oilers Hockey Jersey before you return lol
