With other priorities taking over, some of which (DIY) are playing havoc with my hands, I have decided to put the 4F on hold until after the Gauge O Guild meeting at Kettering on March 5th. There are additional reasons, including the purchase of some brass fixtures to replace the white metal castings in the kit that are rather fragile. And painting is proving difficult at the moment as I will be spraying outside and it has been too cold and windy to expect good results. I may be able to complete the chassis wiring but that is likely to be it.

One thing I can do when relaxing is more research on future prototypes for Legge Lane.
