Well, I have no idea how many of you have been following my construction diary....
But for those who haven't and are curious here is as far as I have got on cold 1st of February.
Here you can see the loco on two card boxes with three of the quill drive wheels in position
on my home made length of Gauge 3 track. You are actually looking at the rear of the loco
as this end has all the power access panels (hard to see in the flash) and the rear fan exhausts
You can just make out the rear side window.
The front and rear bogies will sit under the bonnets at either end. The steel for these and the
chassis rails is on order and (hopefully) by the end of this month I will have something to
show for it.
regards
ralph
