Currently happening in the works is the completion of several gauge one locos that I finished building many years ago. Following a house move and retirement they have all sat in a box awaiting attention. Most of the work involves stripping down and painting, but isn't it strange that a loco that ran well on completion, after painting and rebuilding, now has several issues that need sorting?
Ahh...and also the parts don't fit anymore!
Once I've figured out how to attach pics, I'll post my progress.
Also, I'm hoping to pick a few brains here and there, I still have plenty to learn!
