Western Thunderer
Given the level of interest in our current layout project and the thread on the upgrade of the Outwell Village not to mention the number of questions each has encouraged.
I thought I would push the boat out and show what arrived next in the workshop and what proved to be a far more challenging (though fun never the less project) for us.
To which may I introduce to you the.........
..........project!
A little background....
One upon a time a modeller of this fair land ........well another land next to this one!......(who out of respect for his privacy we will henceforth refer to as Martin!).... had a trainset that he was a bit sad about. He wanted a trainset just like his friends had but somehow what he had just wasnt the same.........
Fortunately Mrs Martin knew how said friends like a fun challenge so a plan was hatched between us to turn his frown upside down...........
Which in turn led to this behemothand its associated detrius being prized from his grasp and transported across the country to our playroom........
Now heres the thing ...few of us had even seen this model before its arival and we had no plans in place what so ever.
How hard could it be?............. we figured worse come to worse we could just not tell him and set fire to it and then build a new layout!
