Started Painting DXC 5241 Today, Just In Time For The Arrival Of Jb 1236 [Jo-anne]. Jo anne Is From Holland And Is Actually A Ja, It Is A Plastic Model Created Using Shapeways, A Site Which Allows You To Upload Models And Have Them Printed. JB 1236 Ran An Excursion Through The Area I Am Modelling Last Year Thus An Excuse To Buy One. Ironically My Mother Is Also Called Jo Ann So My Loco Has Inherited Her Name Both In Honor Of Her And The Real Thing. The Model Has Turned Out Extremely And I Would Recomend Visiting This Link [http://www.shapeways.com/search?q=nz120] And Having A Browse. A Link To The Shapeways Homepage Can Be Found On The Links Page Of This Website. The Models Are Relatively Cheap, Shipping Is Like $20 And They Can Get Your Models To You In Two Weeks Or So. Now, Time For A Wab.
