Prototype Darlington Works is very busy

Working party today to unload the J72 and shunt her into the works - snug fit!

OK, so it's not THE Darlington Works, but Hopetown was part of the NER Darlington Works and now not only hosts two locos under overhaul (that's our J27/NER P3 in the background with her boiler in place) for the first time in many a year, but the other side of that wall in the background is the Prince of Wales ... no, not Charlie, the new build P2 man!

So working on the 12" to the foot stuff this winter will curtail somewhat my modelling activities, shame :oops:. Just have to burn the candle at both ends :)).
