After a long absence of model making, a quick project was needed to get me motivated after a very long few months.
Sitting around was a half built gem Baldwin 4-6-0T which was used as a development model for my RT models replacement, fully working walchaerts valve gear.
The loco was never meant to be any particular loco until I visited snailbeach as been working nearby recentl so the Idea was set.
The model has been built with superglue mostly.

After looking at photos of new builds and in service of them abroad i decided that i would build it as near to original condition as possible to the Chattenden and Upnor Railway.
There was no diviations from the instr
Hi all,

I've decided to finish off some projects that need some small work doing as to be honest i rarely do anything of my own these days.
