Looking good. I wish I had the skill and nerve to try and build something as adventurous as this. :D

Not bad, Ivan Grigorievich. All soldered construction?

Gosh. Marvellous modelling, when can we see it at an exhibition?

Apart from the white metal, yes, all soldered. It should be running on Cliffhanger in future shows.

The completed loco.

It looks like a proper well-used brute.

I see you use the Glenthorne Harbour Authority to run anything you fancy! A Kerr Stuart product, I think?

Indeed it is Ted. The GHA obtains any good bargain loco. that comes on the market. It is a Kerr Stuart. I am doing a number of Indian locos right now which I so well remember and indeed drove several.

Weathering depicts a hard working but well looked after loco..... I hope!
