Whilst Bruce had his superb 63xD family present and selling well, I managed to get my 2nd 651G finished in time. This is different from the first in that the neck is fully functional and the additional plumbing has all been added. It does still carry the full Abigroup additional requirements, including fire suppression, emergency stops, greaser, extinguishers, mirrors, safe access systems, lights, radios and livery. There are also some subtle changes to the livery. Having tortured Gavin enough over what it was, here are some detail pics. Enjoy! KR R

Thanks for that. Here is an idea of what goes in with regard to the neck. The neck is far from finished on the right, but it gives an idea on the stages involved.

WOW, the amount of detail displayed on that is simply amazing. Another fine model there.

Regarding the comment about the neck, all I can see is a red X in a box?
