Did you insert pins or something similar - the arrangement at the corners particularly intrigues me. Tony 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing such a thing as a fast train at Encombe ! or indeed at L M. Edited January 27, 2021 by DonB 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I drilled some very small holes where the shackles used to be and inserted some wire to form something to hook the shackle cable to The wire was easy to bend so I glued the shackles and chains into place using the pins as a guide, then when set I bent the pins over to make them look like hooks. A blob of superglue held it all in place and hide any mistakes! Edited March 27 by KNP 21 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted January 27, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very relaxing watching life go slowly by at Little Muddle. I was a little alarmed, however, by the sudden movement of the dockside crane : has it been summoned to help at Encombe engine shed with the door? Perhaps the team have given up trying to raise the jib and have asked for help. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted January 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) The postman has been and a letter from Modelmaster JE arrived. Slip inside explaining and apologising for the delay, nice touch. So without any delay the loco number has been fitted and 7768 days are now numbered!!!! I have decided that at present this loco will break from tradition and have no crew for a change. So it always be seen ‘parked up’ some where with the crew off for a cup of tea...
