Compounding the problem

Steve’s now done his Bedford TK coal lorry and added some rather nice little coal sacks. These are made from some old material, and filled with yer actual coal.

 

Note the empty sacks folded and weighed down with a 5lb weight.

 

I’ll do some transfers for the doors (T. Watkins I think) as soon as Steve gives me some details.

As has been pointed out, our yard footbridge wasn’t quite right so Steve’s set to with fixing that. I think this arrangement should be ok once the rest of the bits and pieces are fitted. A support between the tracks will also be fitted just to make sure.

Finally got round to photographing the compound today. It’s now 41166, one of Chester’s stud in the 1950’s.

 

As per real thing, it’s a bit light on it’s feet and all available useable space inside has been filled with lead and any more will cause it to tip forwards!

I asked Steve to draw it forwards a bit and the wheels just spun… cue fake speed photograph!

Steve assures me that the front number will be replaced by an etched one eventually…
