2846 GWR
Background:
The starting point is the excellent Hornby model sourced second hand with some minor issues which needed repairing to get it running (basically a full rewire and some bodywork repairs to the roof.) It has be renumbrered and the tender rebranded from shirt button to G W R with HMRS transfers. The model is fitted with a Lenz Gold decoder in the tender.
Usage:
The current fiddleyard layout includes 2 heavy freight workings, for which I have 4 engines available (although two of them are currently as of March 21 sat on the work bench awaiting attention). So 2846 will have to share the work with these. Outside of that there was a mention of a 28xx rescuing the down Riviera once, a working that will have to be recreated at some point…
Remaining Work:
The model still requires: Dinghams, Crew, Lamps, Coal and Weathering. At present there is no coal in the tender as the plastic load was previously removed, while the lack of rear couplings will become more of an issue once the layout is cleared of tools and running resumes.
