 So there I was bowling along the South Coast as one does, and almost by accident found myself in Gaugemaster or The Engine Shed. Only it’s not called that now and now goes by a name that is so memorable that I’d forgotten what it was by the time I’d got past the till. But I digress. <\/p>\n

There was a box of Superquick. Between you and me I don’t think they are interested in selling this sort of thing now, but as I’m on a bit of a roll with things card this week I picked up the above and the signal box. The platform, I worked out, may well be an older version of the kit, which is a problem on one level, but a boon on another. It took me an hour and I was distracted at the same time by other stuff, so a good modeller would have taken half that. Goes together really easily with no glitches, the only mod’ may be some extra support in the underside and I touched in the edges with some white paint. <\/p>\n

Still works for me and the card layout is one step nearer.<\/span><\/p>\n
