    Evening #2 with the R859 Black 5 - body washed, chassis stripped and cleaned. A few spots of oil and missing motion replaced from my stocks and she's all ready for many more years of running :)

  13. RedgateModels

    Old tender drive Black 5 bought from Wycrail - fixed armature, new brushes and springs and the old MK1 tender drive is running like a good 'un ;)

      I had an old tender drive black5, I cut away the underside of the boiler, fitted a Crownline detailing kit and modified the valve gear to look something like. The whole thingg ran like a box of spanners until the wheels disintegrated..

      Not too keen on the white text on the header photos - it's not easy to read, but otherwise, very good.

      If you add sound to Harry, you'll have to Sally as well. We can't have favouritism
