I wonder if anyone will get the reference between the name, number and a one-off.

Going on holiday for a couple of weeks now but I will be dangerously close to TMC Models in Goathland, and I have a shopping list. :shock:

0-6-0 Sentinel.
It's a one-off oil fired shunter for a bit of fun. Nameplates and numbers commissioned from Railtech - no.42 'Sorcerer'.
I ordered the 3D transfers for custom nameplates etc yesterday morning. Received a couple of emails to clarify my requirements and a further email today confirming they have been posted.
Now that is a damn good service!

Hi Steve,

Just catching up, so good to hear that you have “got your finger out” so to speak, and nice new models especially the last one pictured at the sheds……will also be interested to see what the “Sorcerer” looks like when finished.


Cheers Richard

Thanks Richard.
Yes, 'finger out' is the new normal since the op! Not perfect but at least I can attempt a small amount of painting again. It's been so long since I did a whole loco that I can't remember the right order in which to paint things. :o

Isn't it to do with a Type 42 Dungeons and Dragons Sorcerer? or something like that?
