Sir Madog Mike, thanks for the info! I looked at their prices - ouch!

Yeah, but it's high quality stuff and the transformation it makes in your equipment is pretty darn amazing.

unfortunately, ouch means in my case ou(t) (of)(rea)ch...
I wonder if there are more affordable local remotoring resources? Given that Locodoc uses Faulhaber motors, maybe someone on your side of the pond uses them, too? It's basically a good quality gearbox mounted to a Faulhaber with a flywheel closely mounted to fit.
Past the 24th, but I worked on this Burro Crane and work flat over the weekend and just got around to taking a photo this evening.

Another midweek posting...this is a Woodland Scenics church that is the last structure on my 12 yrs grandson's layout. Got to take the photo today as he (not I) built it last week at our house and I was pleased to see how it looks on the layout after he took it home. It will get groundcover around it and a path to the front door. This is the first structure he built himself, except me spray painting the gray primer on inner walls, plus custom mixing colors we liked for the outer walls and roof. Others I had done most of the work or with him helping a little. I think he learned alot, including a stepwise, patient approach but a neat result in the end to be proud of.

Matt,
Nice work! Took the pic awhile to appear, so just getting back to it. Are those built from the Custom Finishing kits?
Paul,
Looks like the kid is pretty skillful already. I can remember how I always made a mess of painting models at that age...
Come to think of it, some things never change.

Thanks. Yes Custom Finishing for the Burro and the ramp.

It's a pity he's so far away, I would happily utilise his skills. A big well done from me.
Cheers, the Bear.
