...These two have fully detailed exteriors and actual working BSI 'Tightlock' couplings at the inner ends...also including the toilet cubicle!

Oh dear!

 

I've just found some other recent pics from my phone camera, of some recent test train workings on The Lane...

 

73 101 'The Royal Alex' has been working with an errant 73 102 'Airtour Suisse' to see just why it's such a poor runner...

Cavalex 56 097 has been on shed for full testing before entering service on my friends layout...the instrumentation showed that this thing will pull a house down!

73 101 'The Royal Alex' was our insurance policy for the day...

On return to depot, it was clear that the new Cavalex Class 56 was a heavyweight performer...

The Stew. Lane fitters were 'Raving & Drooling' about the ease of access for maintenance...

...and they also just loved the open grille work, which will do wonders for allowing the Loco. to breathe when working hard under load...

That's definitely it for now,

 

Hope you like,

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Shed.
