Saw this in the build thread. it was good then and its great now. A really fine effort. I love the engine replacement too. Amazing back story as well, having read A Higher Call, this model is even more evocative.

Brilliantly done Sir
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
