Guest workbench.

They just keep coming. This from Russell.

"In the workshop I've been working on this Dx body kit. It had been partially built, so it was a case of finishing the build including headstocks, sandboxes, all pipework and handrails. Last finishing touch is to fit the grill over the radiator, which has been pre-painted. Thanks to a loan chassis, it temporarily has wheels. Now, to decide on which paint scheme to paint it! Probably 'fruit salad' unless I change the front window."

When the Railways went to two man crews, they basically cut the center pillar out with a griding wheel (well, thats what it looks like close up) and none to neatly either.

The DX is a nice looking model. Who produces the kit?
