Hi Folks,

 

Easy on the eye ?

 

You're just not trying !!!

 

 

 

Gibbo.

 

You know thinking about it, they're all right about climate change.  We need to think about what kind of world we going to leave behind for Shane MacGowan and Keith Richards!

Where's these new N Jins you mentioned on Bute Road?:o

On the train set after having a test run.

 

One needed some minor repairs, front footsteps had fallen off. So I glued them back on, wongly. I need to remove them and bung them on correctly before photographs.

New locomotives are as follows,

 

A L&YR 4-6-4T Dreadnought Tank. a001.jpg.affd4c196dbcee9e52449f7739f78162.jpg

The class never made it to BR days but I think in BR mixed traffic livery it would look ace, so xD to the purist.

 

Followed by one of Sir Henry's little tank locos a class 3P 2-6-2T to be repainted into BR livery.

You can see where I fitted the front steps last night and got it wrong. I didn't get wrong where the funnel had to go as that was broken off as well. They are now in the right place. It is my first loco with a Portascap motor and gearbox.

 

Both run nicely but a tad noisy. I suspect they need a oil up. Their wheels do need cleaning.
