Thanks Reg, the ladder looks like the Red smooth type as shown on the model posted by "Matcboom" earlier.

Ghosty.

Hugh (Idris) is it possible to move all the discussion around the #35 over to the Casting show as it would seem there is quite a bit of chatter going on about it??

Sadly I don't have my Merryweather data, its on my stricken hard drive sitting over there on the shelf!! but it looks like wide wheels and 'Angled' ladder clamps (save picture, open it with 'Windows Live Photo Gallery' and during 'Fix' reduce the intense Red colour and you will see the roof clamps easier), so the model appears not to be a 'Pre-Pro' and yes, it would be nice to have seen the baseplate detail.

It would have been very nice as this example looks like it has a red/orange base plate colour!!

Yes Hugh, we seem to have highjacked this thread and wasted valuable space for "Motorman's" 'Minty' models, so please do the honors...thanks.
