Petes Model workshop (or ramblings from the balcony)

Hi Pete, another interesting project - no doubt you will turn it into a jewel. Great to see these abandoned old projcets being brought back to life. Have a good holiday!

Thanks Mikkel

It is all done very nicely, but it just does not look right. I will know once I get back. I am on a long holiday so will not be starting until November.

I have just started the David Andrews Duke which I'm sure shares much of same basic design. Plain sailing so far and some good brass castings to finish it off.

Judging from the state of that front bogie, it could be an interesting build. Will be good to see how you tackle that rust and corrosion. Slightly disappointed that you're not doing a much better 4-4-0 though...a T9.

I will soon know, I have a few extra bits and the tender wheels now, so there should be no stopping whenI am home.

 

I agree, but this might pay for a 4-4-0 of my own. But I am thinking more of one of the smaller wheeled Adams types. As muchas I like T9's everyone has one. I may also do a Drummond K10.

I will soon find out.. I have all the parts plus a few now, so a start will bemade when I get home.
