Member John C. has been in touch to bring us up to speed with his leatest project. It is a little bit smaller than his ‘Feldbahn’, but a lot easier to move about.
“Due to running out of my wife’s DIY jobs (well, at least the ones I wanted to do!) I have bought the 5” gauge kit ‘Molly Anne’ from Polly Model Engineering. If I can get it remotely like the one pictured I shall be delighted.
The first stage was the frames & buffer beams which were easy to assemble, but the painting took a few attempts.
When that was finished I was looking for something to do until the next stage arrived.
I thought I would build a 5″ storage trolley for moving it around the garage from bits of angle iron I had lying around.
So there we have progress to date.
Meanwhile, I am looking forward to an end to this lockdown & a steam up at Almondell!
Happy New Year everyone, John.”
