Dunno where the last month's gone, Scaleforum only seems like yesterday. Thanks to all those who came and said hello. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend, if a little tiring.
Weston is out and about at the Taunton show this weekend. Hasn't been out this year and won't be doing too many more shows.
Managed to find a bit of time once the layout had been prepped and stock cleaned etc to dig out the O2 which has languished on the tinking table for a while now. I've fitted the High Level horn blocks with the intention of springing via a CSB. The Gibson frames are quite thick, a sign of the kit's age I guess. Next, I turned my attention to the bogie which after much cussing and swearing will be compensated. I had planned to spring this too but decided the necessary horn blocks or bearings were going to be just too much hassle. Ha ha, the resulting picture does not do justice to the amount of difficulty this caused. I must have soldered at least 4 nuts solid to the screws and spent a large proportion of the evening on my hands and knees looking for bits on the floor that fell off during assembly. It had better be worth it.
