I've decided until I've gotten a few of my non-railway modelling projects out of the way that I'm not going to do any more locos or rolling stock.

Which is of course why despite my working on an Elswick cruiser the last week has seen me replace the wheels on a B3, cut a part of the cab roof away on same, fit my new A1 and B5 with loco crews and, today, fitted new wheels to an F2 2-4-2 I bought a few months ago.

In honesty I'm working on projects I know, or at least think, I can manage in one or two sessions, just to get my to-do list down to more manageable proportions. It also helps keep up the momentum on the afore-mentioned warship....

So the F2 has, as I say, had its wheels replaced. I used Hornby M7 drivers and trailing wheels, which has given the loco an improved appearance, but as is always the case with my projects when I think it finish it turns out that the one job opens up another.... in this case fitting more appropriate wheels means that the loco frames need attention....
