About time: first half of the Bush Type 4 fleet arrives on workbench (worktop?) - numbers and headcodes have gone, cruel photography highlights the blooming of paintwork where this has received the attentions of a pencil eraser.

Thanks for the kind comments gang. Picking up on one of them on this blog entry, here is the planned locomotive fleet, the vast majority of which is to hand and awaiting workbench. I intend multiple edits on this, particularly with supporting text and background data.

I had intended to summarise Lessismore's fabled Laws by now, but embarrassingly I need the old site to jog my memory. I have since captured an edit and it forms the next blog post on here.

So, here goes, the planned fleet with the notable exception of Peaks, which are a work-in-progress.
