A while since I last posted. Work is still very busy so no time for working on model engines! Insomnia and being miles from home in hotels gives me time however to source more parts... Have got lots of imperial tools from a variety of places over the last week, including drill bits I need and imperial hex keys. Have also got an 8BA tap set and a tap wrench. A new shed which was delivered this morning is awaiting my attention tomorrow and over the weekend for assembly. The old one is slowly falling through the neighbour's fence....
Arrived back from my travels to find lots of parcels, including a very exciting one from Model Engineers Laser containing a tender kit, cab kit and lots more bits for the main chassis including slide bar kit, smokebox supports, motion brackets, connecting and coupling rods, cab kit, rear pony truck kit. Basically - lots to keep me busy and occupy all these rainy sunday afternoons we've been having lately! Will upload some photos soon!
I am very pleased with the laser cut kits so far. The main frames are perfectly square and look superb. They are so accurately-cut that I think it must be impossible to get them wrong, and they offer a superb short-cut for the 'time-poor' which in all honesty is probably most of us!
Have also joined the G1MRA (see link on the right) which processed my application to join in 2 days and sent a nice package of info including the last two journals which contain a wealth of v useful info.
Time for glass of red (Durif) and a read through all the drawings and notes that came with the parts today.
