The careful use of (cheap) Hornby Hymek spares from Abbegails frames has resulted in our first pilot scheme 26/0 with transverse leaf springs. 26010 (formerly Heljan 26006?) has has a mild repaint/renumber, super detailing, Smiths screw, bogie front cross members etc crew added. The bogie side frames have been drilled and carved to remove the coil springs and Hornby Hymek springs carefully inserted and Miliputted in from behind to give them strength. The underframe tanks/boxes have been removed
