Had a great morning on Seven Mills. The Crew and Screw Couplings arrived so have been painted and fitted and then I had an hours running / Photographing.

 

Whilst adding Orange Vests to the two Drivers for the Crompton, I also did the Crazy Gang, I had a job to get them to move at first, but after removing the Steam Era Hats, hair was added and also the orange vests.

Andy. You can’t use the “F word”.......

It’s just an abbreviation for “statistically less tall for his weight than the average male”. Imagine having to write that verbiage every time he appears in a photo!

Found Fritz a job.

[Sasquatch]

Looking good Andy.

Mind you I wouldn't take on that Fritz in arm wrestling. Looks like he's got leverage.

 

Regards Shaun.

Thanks Chris, I've just returned from Cwm Bach and looking at your superb work in the Wagons once again.

 

I'm sure we'll meet up once I move back down to Amp Sher.

I had the same with the 1300cc lump under the Bonnet. I ended up using that colour for my Cheney CZ Moto Cross Bike I built.

Resident 08 playing with a short Train.

Just in time, otherwise the approaching 08 would spoilt the shot.
