7mm Withyn Reach ... still alive and well!!

[Ressaldar]

Not really, I'm afraid. I still have to work on the traverser power connections (need some brass tube and rod to fit inside it), and also need to rig up some lights over it, as although it's now safe and warm (mostly) up the loft it's also in rather a dark part, under my HO layout. I have been running engines on it occasionally though, and hopefully some time soon it will host a certain new loco.....

I'm looking forward to seeing the photos - don't keep us waiting Soo too long

cheers

Having a green loco is kinda ok but summat not british just isn't cricket

 

[marsa69]

Yes but it's blue and yellow. That makes it sort of alright, especially as I've seen them in the flesh

You seem to be referring to the Master and the Young Pretender ... just not sure who is who

There may be a slight delay... Seems I dipped into my savings a bit more than I thought - that Dark Side is so powerful !! - so I need to engage in some Creative Accounting, as well as continue to work on my Cunning Plan....

When we used to drive past the Alaskan Rail main depot and yard in downtown Anchorage we'd get an amazing view of the sheds and yards from the flyover which came out of the back gate of Elmendorf AFB (you can see the back gate in the top left of the photo). The beasties looked mighty impressive from way up so imagine how imposing they were at trackside . I found this out when I was able to get quite close to one at the terminus at Seward. Unfortunately I'd left me camera in the Hotel and by the time I returned it had tootled off back towards Anchorage
