Western Thunderer
I had hinted that I might participate in this build by rebuilding an existing project. So I hope this is enough of a change to qualify. After a period with too much 'life' in the way I am back on track and way too late . But like the wagon build I am going to at least try and pick up where I left off . See
Unklian's G3 workbench . for the beginnings of this project ..
So the set up has been extended by one board/boxfile ..
But more importantly I have made up and installed a lot more tramway style rail to give a multigauge grid in the way that the old time loco factories had in their yards for testing their products before export.
I now have rails for 4' 0", Standard, 5' 3", 5' 6", 7' 1/4" ( tah dah ) and what ever I think 45mm and 32mm would represent . There is also a pairing at 6' 3" but I know of no prototype for this ( yet ? ) .
Finally with the walls in place it is looking very tight for Broad Gauge stock through that arch ! Never mind, I have some air drying DAS clay equivalent and I am going to set to soon on some 'proper' cobbles .
