Checked Baggage Lessons

The only damage suffered by carefully packing my Jinty (named Dobbin) in bubble wrap for a long journey on Monday was that the two crew members came loose and arrived "on the floor" of the cab. I had simply glued their boots to the cab floor and this was not enough to withstand the baggage handlers' hard work. So I have thought about drilling out their legs and fitting 1mm wire that can be glued into holes drilled where they stand (for eternity) in the cab. There are several other items that could be worked on before the weekend visit to Hillingdon. We'll see if they can be done but as it is the Jinty should be roadworthy.
I have also promised to take something exotic to Hillingdon Track Open Day on December 19th. If I can get to our storage unit I could load up some H0 freight stock and add them to an Athearn Genesis SP Mountain MT-4. This is an MT-4 without the later fitting of an airline casing that was an attempt to make the 4-8-2s look faster than they really were. But they were still great locomotives, albeit in the shadow of the GS 4-8-4s.
