Bubbles!

Dave "Blimp" Jones of N-Thusiast Resprays have put some pictures of his new class 121 "Bubble Car" railcar online.

Like earlier kits of his, the body is cast in resin. I have to say it's an improvement on his earlier class 22 diesel, but I'll reserve judgement until I see a fully painted and finished model in the flesh. It's promised for December's Warley exhibition.

The chassis uses Lifelike motor and bogies. I'll be interested to see how robust and reliable it proves in operation. I don't know whether it's cast in resin or metal; if it's resin it looks a bit on the fragile side.
