Backwoods Lyn

[pilotfriend]

This is my second Lyn for the Bratton Fleming layout which uses the parts from a Grafar class 08 chassis in the backwoods frames. Roof not yet fitted. Fitted are firebox door, grate and front working lights.

Hi John,

This looks fantastic, but..........question: why a second "Lyn"? Is it to be a freelance "2nd loco in the class" or is it to replace your original "Lyn"? Just curious. Raised the question on this forum rather than in your similar thread on ngrm-online as every posting there currently seems to prompt a rash of illiterate and mental dwarf unasked for contributions from the unqualified or simply self-important idiot factions........ ::)

Regards

Mick

Summer season, Mick. Some folks must catch fleas from their pets and go queer with too much scratching.

The two locomotives (Exe and Lyn) are for the Bratton Fleming layout. New locos were needed as lights and firebox glow had to be included along with on board sound. In addition, the chip programming for Bratton Fleming will be a bit different and incompatible with auto operation on CG (they run round fine manually, however). The locos, once painted will also have a fair bit of snow on their cowcatchers, etc.
