In the Workshop in February

And the rain pours down in Southern Spain. Anyway it lets me get into the Workshop (actually my PC) to get on with a variety of projects. There is a Great North of Scotland Railway Corridor Composite of 1898. This is a brick red colour, perhaps slightly darker with creamy white upper panels and yellow lining. Very striking. Then there is a Dunalastair II of the Caledonian, though I'm waiting for a copy of Jim Mackintosh's new livery register so a slight delay there
And finally. I've tackled the longish process of the complete LNER Coronation train. Coach A is complete and Coach B is nearly there. These will replace the twin sets of the West Riding Ltd already published. There isn't enough detail to be seen in the twin set views for them to interesting so they'll be replaced by the Coronation train as single coaches. The two trains were identical anyway (apart from the Coronation observation coach already published) so anyone thinking of a LNER Coronation set for their layout will get a good idea of what their completed model might look like.

I applaud anyone who has made a model of the Coronation observation coach. Lot of sweat and tears on that one, I think.

Already being redrawn is a Cardean Class 4-6-0 of the Caledonian, and I'm thinking of a couple of locomotives from Southern Companies. Perhaps from the LSWR and LBSCR.
