Being perverse, it'll be a pannier, but with a difference...
What with 6' 8" wheels and usually called a castle?
Sorry - couldn't resist.

Lovely stuff, Paul. I take it from the tone of this post that the motion became a trial? I look forward to seeing how you tackled it. One notable thing about these kits - back when exhibitions were a thing - is how many you see built (same for Mike Edge's kits) and this speaks volumes for the quality and user-friendly design of these things. I've a long term hankering for one of Chris's big Barclays, but haven't got round to it: besides, what I really should be doing is building a proper branch engine for my bit of the SR. And not a B4. Or a Jinty. Being perverse, it'll be a pannier, but with a difference...

PS - @ullypug: pleased you've decided on the 0-4-2ST version from the ECMR, it's a conversion I've always wanted to see.
Presumably your bit of the SR is in ex-LSWR country. Somewhere near Southampton?

Isn't this is a great forum with a friendly and supportive crowd. There is always genuine support without sarcasm or one-upmanship. I can't remember how I came across Western Thunder, but I'm glad that I did.
