Hayfields work bench (an average modelers attempts at loco building)

[Phil O]

Tidying up a few jobs, sand pipes for the GWR Terrier and pipework added on the Westinghouse (?) cylinder

John,

It's an air pump, for air brakes.

Thanks but most of the work was done by someone else

Parts 112 were missing, I found the piston which had been built, but was missing most of the piston rod, the brake crank had also been broken off and lost

A piece of brass rod was fitted and a piece of scrap whitemetal found and cut to length

Painted dull dirty black, once dry will merge. May be both the wrong size and shape in places. But wont be seen anyway

Now to rewrite my shopping list for Alley Pally

This is how I left the Springside GWR 45xx back in March last year, I think a certain Mr Wynne distracted me with both improvements to Templot 3D 7mm plug track, then inventing 7mm 3D COT (chairs on timbers) track. I am at some time soon going to get back printing 3D 7mm track as I am booked to be at the Scale 7 Albury meet

Anyway now trying to get back up to speed with this loco, read a few of the later posts and get to grips with the instructions. More later
