Well just a little bit, but I can justify it! Naughtiness is starting another loco before finishing anything else. Trouble is I really need to get on with the track but only place I can do this is in the conservatory at the moment and it is just TOO HOT! Yes, I am complaining - I hate it! Anyway, just needed something straight forward to get on with instead (I guess I could have got on with clearing the cellar -it's cool down there!), so decided to start one of the Worsley Works Dick Kerr petrol electrics. This is a 'scratch aid' kit - just a couple of sheets of nicely etched nickle silver actually but reasonably priced. I have one of these already so had learned a couple of things to make life easier. Drill out the grab rail holes first and sorting out a couple of mistakes in the design for instance.

Now the chassis for the other one is a blog in itself so shall relate that later but this chassis (completely home made), will be a bit simpler.

So this is progress so far, rivets punched out (scriber on a wooded block), pieces cut out - used a fret saw as tabs pretty hefty, and everything cleaned up.
