Thank you for your kind words of support, much appreciated. It's great to hear from someone who's had a go at this kind of thing before...I'm sure you understand how difficult it can be at times..lol. I've just picked up 2 more sets to make sure I have plenty of stock. I've finalised the front end of the H440 and I've made the copies ready to fit. I'm now working on the nose cone and cab interiors. I'll be stretching the driving units of this set. I'm also working on opening nose cones for the AGV . I'm experimenting with clear resin and clear plastic sheets for the lights and glazing. I've bought a heat gun for the sheets. I'll have some more vids up soon. Thanks again and all the best.....Tom

Your very welcome 👍🏻 thankyou for your prompt reply, you really are inspiring me to get kit bashing again 🙂. No point in doing something thats Already available so iell put my thinking cap on 👍🏻. My tip! Try finalising the milliput surface while still wet! Keep it up chap 🙏🏼👌🏻

Hi Paul. Thanks mate....Yeah, I'm really pleased with the way this one's turned out. I had a few dodgy moments when I first started spraying the silver...lol. I'll get the other two ready so I can get a running set working (this one ran as a 7 car) then I'll do the other 4 units with the nose to nose work. All the best :)

It's an amazing job, as you said you would you've turned a toy into something special, very impressive. I wouldn't have known where to start. Keep up the great work. Cheers Paul

Hi George, I hope you're well :) Thanks very much, as always for your support I'm glad you're enjoying the project. All the best to you and yours....Tom

Hi Fred...glad you're still here mate :) Thanks very much for your kind words and support...I'm glad you like it so far.

Hi Gerry, thanks for watching and for the kind words...much appreciated. To be honest, this modern high speed stuff is new to me, too. These cheap sets seemed to be calling me so I took the plunge to see how far I could go with them. Thanks again and all the best...Tom

Hi Mike...Thanks very much mate :) I'm looking forward to getting more of those details finished. I'd love to get some ICE 3's for the garden...Definitely on the cards for a future project.

Thank you very much Fabrizio

Hi Nathan, thank you very much for your support. The only steam conversions that I've done so far are in G scale but I'd like to do something in H0/00

Yeah, it does look a bit spacey :) Funny thing is, I've got bags and bags of latex gloves but I keep forgetting to put them on...LOL . Thanks for the comment mate, I'm glad you like the model.
