 A lovely box of goodies has arrived from Malcolm Savage Models today. For anyone unfamiliar with the 5.5mm society, Malcolm is the main source of modelling materials. The slate wagon kits are quite exquisite,we  and one of the things that clinched my move from 009 to 5.5 mm scale. Malcolm produces a range of specific slate wagon models for the Ffestiniog. The ones I have received today were owned by the London and North Western Railway and have there own distinctive pattern of axle boxes. The etched bodywork produces a really intricate model which really captures the feel of these distinctive vehicles.
 Also in todays delivery, are a number of door handle etches for use with the Worsley Works carriage etches I have sitting ready to be built. Although the MSM range is small, it includes some superb detailing components.

    Snap! I also purchased some door handles that arrived today.
    No excuse for me now. I better get soldering those coaches together...

    Hi Max, Malcolm must have etched a batch specially, he didn't have any when I first contacted him, they are part of a larger etch. I keep looking at the coach etches, I think I might start with the match board brake van and matching bug boxes to make up a 1930s rake.. Must finish the houses first. (They are now a bit of a chore)
