Spent most of today in the sunny UK trying to complete this Banta model works kit. I guess I'm about 95 percent done. Made a little diorama for it, as I'm just really learning the skills of the hobby. Took some pics and then you keep seeing bits that need a little more attention. Jobs for other days then... 

I'm new to model railroading and live in the UK. I say new, I've always had a big interest in trains and had oo UK models in my youth. I have started to build some models and see what I can achieve on a small scale. It's the Southern Pacific for me in the fifties. A great period for steam and diesel (as in the UK). Why US? Well it's different to what most modellers do in the UK and a fascination with cab forwards and GS classes and daylights inspired.
