Welcome to CASTLE ACHING
January 2016
Summers seventeen, and winters too, had passed since the day I first realised that, as an adult, my boyhood enthusiasm for model railways had returned. That is a long time to spend in the Modeller's Armchair, and so, last Spring, I finally forced myself to make a start. Life had other plans for me, however, and it is only now that I can make a start in earnest.

Shamed by the fact that Gary Blue Lightening actually does the sort of modelling I only talk about doing, I thought it was about time I addressed myself to the issue of motive power.
I was horrified to find that, according to the date on the work-in-progress shots I'd posted, I had not touched locomotive No.1 for almost a year, since May 2016!
Duly chastened, I had a bit of a go at the weekend. I finished filing down the engine block and stuck some acrylic tube over it for a new boiler.
