Open cab pannier 2776 has now moved to the completion phase as she now has her spectacles!!!

Turned out to be a pleasant build and well worth the effort to build those stepped brake rods, though motor less she will grace the ranks of LM static models.

I understand the crew have spoken already to their union representative asking to be relocated as they argue that why are we here as this model doesn't function so doesn't technically need a crew?

Therefore all they are required to do is stand there and look useful! They might as well be a static model themselves?

What will the next collection of locos be?  How about a dozen Prairy tanks .

Not sure if I am honest, transfers have arrived for the WKT so that should take account of one day!!!

Then……?

What do you think I should work on next?

Lets start a new trend.

Talking of panniers and Strathwood Publishing have 50% off Pannier Papers No. 2 , making it less than six sheets.

Thanks for the heads up but I have them all.

It’s Prairie Paper No 3 that I am searching for still.

& @KNP Hiya both - please could you re-send? It transpires there are a number of messages not reached me over the past weeks/months and similarly some of my outbounds not reaching their destination, despite nothing being indicated to the contrary in my email client. What I do know is that my inbox is constantly teetering either side of above the permitted limit (it does have some leeway above the advertised limit) on account of constantly receiving large attachments day/night, and it's not uncommon that I have to take out 2 or 3 hours just to clear down particularly heavy attachments just so the inbox can continue to - allegedly - function as normal. I apologise for that.

Thanks for the heads up about your new transfers for WKT.

These have now been ordered.

Yes. Haven’t been seen for a while.

True.

My favourite GW loco, after another if I can find one, but they seem to be rare as hen's teeth. 4825 I brought new as an advanced order from Hatton's and 4820 of flea bay for £40 a few years ago.

I have two Airfix ones but not in the same league for looks.

We’ve not seen a mix of locomotive types. Do the Panniers and Prairies not get on?

I have to store them in separate boxes otherwise they squabble…….
