As a side from posting everything in my Little Milton Colliery thread. I thought I would start a post documenting my industrial builds. I've named it coals & metallurgy as it's just that. Industrials from both the coal & steel industry. Most of the kits are from Judith edge which I must confess I really enjoy building. They are cheap, well designed & cover so many prototypes that suit my tastes perfectly.
I started building the frames for this massive Ebbw Vale 80t hunslet about 12 months ago. It's been one of those models that's sat waiting for a long time & I decided this was next up.
This evening I've progressed the build to get the platform built up & as with all Mike's designs they just build as intended. I've got a high level box to fit & all the wheels are on order with gibson.
My intention is to do a steelworking loco & then switch to a collier loco but I suppose it'll depend on my mood. Once Little Milton is completed I intend to make a steelworks along the lines of Templeborough, Aldwarke, Stockbridge or Forgemasters. I've got a friend doing me some etches for the panzer wagons from Stockbridge which I hope to show in due course.
