Birthday Suprises

Hi all!

Firstly, thanks for all the 'Happy Birthday's!' They were greatly appreciated!

This post is all about what I got this year, so we'll start with something a little 'N' gauge-ing!


This is Dapol Model Railway's Mk3 Test Car. It's based on 975814 and in it's BR days looked a little like this:

Currently, it looks like this:

Well, here is the model version!



Details



Up with an old Farish Mk3



Roof changes - the more modern one on the  left



And into the box - but not for long!



Also recived was a set of lifting jacks and a pack of springs/couplings



So, just out of curiosity, here's 975814 on the jacks

Test Car 10



Belongs to DM&EE, RTC Derby - note the mistake



The end



It's also been on an Inspection Pit



Inspection pits OTB



A new screwdriver helped sort out a pair of '08's'



The only aircraft kit (so far) this year is a 1/48 Hawk



Now, have you ever wondered what 10 yards of track looks like?





Self eplaining really

Now, a DVD was also greatly recieved, showing off two East Coast racehorses (60007 Sir Nigel Gresely and D900, not 55002 as said on the box!), a few boats and clearly the Coninsgsby Air Show 86



Some Iron Maiden stuff was also recived - the Final Frontier hoodie

Back



Front



And this Flight 666 shirt



Note this



And Bruce isn't looking too good either!



Finally, da Vinci's Ornithopter to build!



And that nearly concludes this year's celebrations. Apparently there's at least 2 more presents coming, so I'll post here once they have arrived!

Thanks for looking!
