    I'm still working on a few little here and there, but next is getting back into roofing. Ive figured out a better and quicker way of making the slate strips, made loads yesterday and then started on the office which has just been finished. I want some fancy chimney pots which i'm going try making myself

    No idea but its still in Rhymney territory, 121 was rebuilt like this in 1911 but it is before renumbering to GWR 662, so 1911 to 1923. I only know this much after finding about it this morning http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/rhymney.htm https://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=Great_Britain&wheel=0-4-0&railroad=rhymney#20034

    Isnt Bertha's tender a standard Fowler but with a cab?, surely theres plenty of secondhand 4F tenders around

    It looks home made, though no idea its supposed to work since there's nothing on either end of the wire, it clearly originally had tension lock based on the lugs and screw holes on the ends

    If you want to go pandantic the ffestiniog is working steam, its still owned by the same company from 1832, its just that a lot of work is done by volunteers so that they no longer need hundreds of employees like before

    Just needs a bit of weathering I know that the curveture of the tank profile is a bit wrong as i copied from the drawing without first double checking the photo

    There was a 2ft quarry line that ran North from Newbridge on the NYMR, you could imagine it as clay instead of sand https://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/11/sandstone_from_saintoft.htm

    I had no idea about livery and was going to it a dark oxide just because i thought it would look nice but looking at the book, it suggests 2 tone grey for early wagons and brakes but the partial photo shows it all the same colour (what ever that is) and the book doesnt say whether the ends should be red or not
