Modelling time has been short of late what with holidays and a week volunteering, and enjoying sampling, at Scotland’s biggest cask ale festival. However this week I managed a fair few hours so I think that is the build complete. I left off the pipework and handrails for a bit of running in on my test track which went better than anticipated. She started a train of 4 six wheeled coaches on the level which is as much as she is ever likely to be called on to handle.
I’ll now strip everything down for cleaning and paint plus a bit of weathering as I want to finish her in the condition she would be in near the end of her working life.
Ian.
