New arrivals...

 A Sylvan Families tram, £5 at a charity shop - could be the bare bones a small rail-car

Two Hartland Loco Works tank wagons, they need some assembly tweaking.

Sunny Sunday (8) - short mixed train again ....

 Diesel loco with van and bogey coach....

Wagon & Coach Works ....

A wagon....

A Hartland Loco Works small wagon; its a kit, quick snap together assembly

all done in a few minutes... this one is going to be made into a small guards van 

Coach Transfers

slowly but surely putting on the transfers (from Endon Valley); took me about 15 minutes per side... 

looking really nice now

Sunny Sunday (7) - short mixed train ....

 A short mixed train run today...

LocoWorks - GVT Loco (2) - wheels !

 I had a spare LGB Otto 0-4-0 chassis, which is just suitable; valve gear and rods removed...

and some extra bits cut off to fit it under the loco...

Increased the length of the slot in the bottom of the loco to accommodate the chassis....

The chassis positioned - nice fit and room for the running weight inside the loco's boiler

about 8mm of wheel and con-rod show, when the chassis is in place - not that visible when it will be running (the con-rods could come off if necessary) 

LocoWorks - GVT Loco (1) - sizing up ...

 Out of the project box for a look and to take measurements to see what chassis I could buy that would fit in the space available...

While out the box couldn't resist doing a couple of quick jobs. First removing the old SM32 chassis guides form the base plate.

Next stick back on the chimney and other loose bits with superglue....

Once I've got a suitable chassis I can get on with work on the loco body.

Sunny Sunday (6) - tipper wagons....

 Baguley RC diesel and tipper wagons out for a run today... industrial look...
