Alan P Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Hi, all you Britmodellers, I've finished this after losing most of the bits at least once! The build thread is HERE for an odyssey in Alclad! I had a lot of help and encouragement on this - big thanks especially to Andy (general melchett) for providing the Jay Miller reference book, amongst other top tips and encouragement. Thanks for looking once again! Alan Edited October 21, 2018 by Alan P Picture links restored 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Belbin Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Gorgeous work! Are they MV lenses used on the front legs? I know they're supposed to be available from American railroad modelling shops – but can we get them in the UK? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Wow. thanks everybody. I hope you don't mind me saying that's my best model ever since restarting the hobby 8 years ago. no need to say anymore , ( or you won't get your 'ead out of the door !!). It's nice to know though! Are they MV lenses used on the front legs? I know they're supposed to be available from American railroad modelling shops – but can we get them in the UK? Yes they're MV lenses, but i'm not sure where you can get them in the UK. I order mine online from internettrains.com, their choice and service is great. Thanks very much for the very nice comments : Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
