kevin is a road vehicle, so a better photo of his flat decks are here. a clearer photo of the loads are here. im really impressed with the detailing on the loads, especially the gears. they have a slightly metallic sheen to them. in addition, the gears and sacks are actually shaped, and not just moulded rectangles. it does mean they dont fit properly in standard trucks, but thats a small sacrifice.
the wooden christmas train is from vicky. she bought one online and it arrived with a little damage, so the company sent her another. she sent the first one to me, and i will use it on the christmas layout somehow, and will likely put hooks in and make it a christmas decoration.
i had an email from dale, with a really good offer in it. i may soon be the owner of one of the hardest to find HIT engines, so watch this space.
