Preamble

Western Thunderer
For some time I've had an itch waiting to be scratched. With Northern Town waiting for the temperature in the garage to get warmer and a number of bits and bobs on the workbench decreasing I thought it was time I got on with it. For the last couple of weeks I've been assembling some of the raw materials and today I made a start on things. Here we have a few of the bits which give a flavour of the quality of the components I have to work with.
From the back there are a couple of Tomy Thomas carriages, a pair of Hornby Pug bodies, a Triang cattle wagon and the loco that got me back into model railways in my twenties, a Hornby pug. Note that it's the budget option without the handrails on the tank. It was all I could afford as a young man with a mortgage and my daughter on the way.
What it's going to be and why I've chosen to do it this way will have to wait till my next stint at the keyboard.
