Progress has stalled slightly because of work increasing a bit: lots of late evenings when you work with young people. I’m also stuck for a way to make the roof of my van: I can’t find a former to bend it: the only thing long enough is an aerosol can, and the mind boggles as to what that would do if put in boiling water with plasticard strapped to it… and there is a lack of support on the van itself. Next time I’ll make it differently. How many times have I said that?
However, I’ve found a video that is very interesting, and even better, largely on topic for this blog. It shows an Australian sugar train running fully loaded on a two foot right of way. Okay, so it ain’t exactly the TGV but it does show that really small gauges can carry big heavy bulk trains. Another good excuse for modern image NG…

Hi Andy,
Like the look of your bogie wagon - nice styrene work. Have you considered part of a venetian blind for the curved roof? They're often recommended.
Cheers, Andrew
Thanks for the comments Andrew, coming from yourself, that's very encouraging... I'll try the Venetian blind idea some time: The roof is on the van, and I'll update on it, along with the mistakes and rebuilds...
