Here is my latest MOC, a class BR class 08 shunter (nickname = 'Gronk') in BR grey livery based on prototype 08 460. (URL) course shunting is useless without being able to uncouple and couple at will. The model therefore includes an in-built (...)

(...) Not seen that method before. Looks like it should be inset by 3/4 plate thickness. There are 1/2 plate inset mehods around (URL) or even less, but that one looks fairly rigid and doesn't clog up the interior. Jason Railton (20 years ago, 31-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
