The Hornby B1 moves to Aberdeen

Our Hornby B1 received a new number at the weekend (61347) marking her out as an "Aberdonian" B1. She figures in a few old photos in and around Aberdeen in the late 50s / early 60s including station pilot duties. Part of the makeover involved blowing a bit of 1960(ish) grime around and a bit of real coal in the tender. Loco crew next!

Recently fettled: WD 2-8-0

First out of the paint-shop today is our hard-working Bachmann WD 2-8-0 which had been the victim of some over-enthusiastic wood painting by my Dad, resulting in paint spatters all over the loco. So here she is after rubbing off all the paint spatters and plenty of weathering and re-spraying.   I'd say 'not looking too shabby' - but actually her shabby state is what I was keen to restore! So here she is ... looking too shabby?
