Well, it is a year since I picked up a rather unloved 'Grafar' Pannier, and set about chopping up a Dapol Ivatt chassis to convert it into the charming, if rather brutal looking, 1500 class pannier.

Alongside the facelifted Minitrix Ivatt 2-6-0 (which uses buffer beams and smokebox from the donor Dapol tank engine) I seem to be running 'rehab' for old N gauge models that have been overshadowed by the recent rapid improvement in the scale!

Now for some cosmetic work to tidy up the superstructure!
