This has to be one of my favorite builds of yours (so far ;) )

Have you thought of doing a couple of interchangeable signals ? Such as the Murry system or the Chappe ? 
Just so you can give it a quick tweak for different nationalities ?
Or even a small solar boiler?

(Admittedly I'd love to see you add a Murry system. As I think it'd round off the whole build by drawing your eye to the conversation between the white framed  windows and the Murry system.)

Chappe is too early really and I considered the Murray but it needed to be done in one way or another otherwise it would be sat languishing for god know how long before being finished  lol

As I mentioned, it's also going to be used for our England Invaded games so not that bothered about it being used for other nations.
cheers

Managed to pretty much finish the torpedo neff after it’s been sat languishing unfinished for years  lol

The rear turret needs raising a bit so it’ll clear the aerofoils and I’m waiting for the stanchions for the top platform (had to order loads for another job). Hopefully will get to prime it tomorrow and take some better pictures.

That looks cracking... are you going to have a torpedo “in flight” as well?

A couple of years ago he said he was!  :D

James, this is absolutely a wonderful thread to go through and see all the marvels you have put together. I'm sure the neff will come out looking fantastic. Your neff's are always amazing.

That's really cool. I know it's a scratch build but it's so much better looking than those MDF kits I've seen.

Thanks  :)

I’ve been working on an armoured traction engine to go in the webshop for a while now and the main engine is ready. I’ve also built a caisson and slightly altered (what I think is) a WWI gun. The wheels will be in the webshop soon as well (but not the gun or the caisson).

I’ll be doing carriages and other stuff for it to pull and these will go in the webshop as and when  :)

It’s not intended to be a real world traction engine, it’s purely for VSF (hence the same sized wheels plus a few other things).
