Ah - a Baby Deltic
If only DJ Models had theirs ready in N.

Workaround: find a 3x magnifying glass.

Why didn't I think of that?

1/150 would be close enough

Insane part of project just started

Am currently trying to put blobs of paint on some motorcycles and their riders to make them look realistic.
Each figure is approx. 2mm tall

Good luck!

I have an eight coach ICE3. It is a

nightmare to put it on the track and the gap between the coaches is far too big. Once it is on the track it runs very well

T Gauge baby deltic shell sitting on 20p coin. Photo is very cruel but looks OK with normal vision not macro on camera. Hand Painted using 10/0 brush
Not yet finished need to tidy up a few bits

Spotted this in the Railway Modeller I picked up today. I believe it's smaller than a 5p piece!

I have to say it looks exquisite but I'd hate to sneeze during its construction

T gauge Mk 1 coach overall length 44mm supplied unpainted without bogies as a kit from the shop on Talkintgauge.net painted by hand in Humbrol Crimson Lake looks worse in the picture than real life. 8M macro photo really brings out the worst.

Foamboard for baseboard just purchased overall size will be 800 x 350 which will fit between the wheel arches and fit in through the rear hatch of my little car without tilting.

Copied from T Gauge.com website just to give you an idea how small the wheel sets are.
