There has been a bit of progress on the Double Fairlie this week, hopefully soon(ish) there'll be wheels on it and I'll have a rolling chassis!

The cylinders ready to be soldered up and motion brackets waiting to be attached to the frames

One of the power bogies with the motion brackets in place and axles slotted through the bearings to make sure it all still turns (it does, phew!)

The N Brass Locomotives GVT Tar wagon I bought at Doncaster, all ready for the paintshop. The second image gives a better view of the brake gear which is nicely detailed, and not as much of a fiddle to put together as I first feared! It has been fitted with Paul Windle couplings, which are anchored to the underframe with some scrap bits of brass.
