[steam for ever]

I do it was in a pub so I see what you mean.

I have resurrected this though as I have found something you may find of interest.
It does not matter if you don't have a model railway but this is good for display.

If you buy a cheap Hornby railroad gresely coach and unclip the body from the frame- then you can get a kitchen roll tube and gently sqaush it into an elipse shape.

Cut lengthways down the tube to produce two halves.
Note: don't cut the squashed part.

Paint one half with a silver paint and glue onto the coach frames.

The ends can be made with card of some sort also painted grey.


A further note- the ends of the tube may have to be trimmed to fit properly.

Now you should have a good budget model of one of these tenders.
The gresley coaches in the railroad range are priced at £15.25

Just something to do on those snowy days we are having.
