MINERAL MAGIC 2

'O' gauge kit finished and ready for service.

With other magazine projects taking priority recently, it's taken a while to add the finishing touches to this brand new Just Like the Real Thing kit. As mentioned previously, the kit is rendered mostly in resin, with plenty of cast metal detail fittings for the underframe and brake gear.

As with the Rectank wagon that I built last year, this has proved to be a fantastic kit - a real pleasure to assemble and finish. Look out for a feature (and hopefully a build demo) in Model Rail magazine soon.
