Well the first locomotive movement under it's own power has now happened - and it all worked! I had a small disaster with glue and scenery when I got glue between the two sections and left them bolted together overnight. Whoops, still no serious harm done.

I have also been weathering the BR box vans this week and those old Lima ones actually look the part when painted in prototypical dirty state. (Anyone got any Lima HO 12 ton box vans or mineral wagons they don't want by the way?)

Hopefully this week will see the first photos being taken as the batteries in the camera were flat!

Well that's it I will come back with more later.
