I have been quite busy, so far, I have a couple of trains to get through before the exhibition on may and one in the running is a fitted van train pulled (hopefully) but a B1 61030 "Nyala".
I bought a good running split chassis B1 from Tri-Ang Man about 10 months ago with the intention of making this locomotive and have managed to finally get round to it.
I even scratch built a new smokebox dart from brass bits (which I am quite proud) as well as new front steps which makes 2nd radius curve a bit hair raising.
I also cut out the moulded coal and added a bit of depth to eventually show that the engine will need to pop off to the depot soon.
However, not everything went to plan.. for more info on what I did, please do visit my blog.

Also a big thank you to 34theletterbetweenB&D for supplying the spare wheels as the rear set for this one had decided not to play ball.
