A (re)introduction

Evening all!

 

Having acquired the link for the new forum and discovered that I'm one of the infamous 15%, I decided that I'd make a fresh start rather than copy across all of my old workbench! If anyone actually cares, the originals are linked in my signature. smile.gif

 

My current project is a Backwoods Blanche, in 009, being made as a 2-4-0 STT with tender cab and piston valve cylinders - as she is now, in fact. My previous attempt at a Backwoods kit went a bit awry when Taliesin's power bogie didn't want to play ball, so I decided to make a start on something with a fixed wheelbase instead, and come back to the gear train at a later point.

 

As I'm currently trying to get a couple of cylinder wrappers soldered up, I'm going to make this a brief post, and leave a teaser of the state of affairs so far (which I don't think that I've put up on the original forum yet, so think of this as a sneak preview wink.gif ) Blanche is currently running as a 2-2-0...

Welcome back BB! It is always a joy to read up on your 009 modelling (part of which has been pushing me to go 7mm Narrow Gauge, dammit... ;) )

 

I'll be watching Blanche with interest, I saw Linda I think in August on our Wales Week away pulling the last train into the Wharf.
