Having spent the last few days being very busy but not actually sure with what, the Dick Kerr has not come along quite as quickly as I would have hopped. I rescued the motors from my previous chassis which was condemned due to a dodgy gearbox and fitted new Markits 50:1 boxes. Then I found these wouldn't fit the chassis. Managed to remedy this by milling out a portion at the top but got abit carried away on side. Will be hidden though so only we know! I have wired it up directly to a power supply and all seems fine. Have just glued some copper coated strip for the dreaded pickups - just waiting for it to dry.

Incidentally, what I intend to do with the other Dick Kerr is to fit it up as a double header with the current one which was a common practice. Power will pick up from all wheels and will put the decoder and speaker in the dummy one to fill up the space. I do have a yet another set of etches for a body which I am intending to convert into the subtly different Westinghouse version but quite when I will get around to this I don't know!
