Hi Pete, good to see you back over here! I think you brought some heat and rain back with you - this seems to have been one of the warmest (and wettest?) Novembers for ages.

Um......how would you know ?

Certainly those photos you sent had little evidence of anything wet in them...........apart from the hippy water tower and I would venture even that was "dry"............

Three new toys for me. A DJB N class.



A Roxey 48' brake third.



Both less than I was expecting to pay.

And this, although not railway related, great fun to play with.

I'll be watching the N Class build Pete, got the same kit in the Pencarrow stash.

Is the intention to build it whilst zipping around on the bike?

Hi Pete,

good to see you back. Triumph looks tidy, I guess the kits will too, in time.

The loco builds may take a while to start. I've absolutely no mojo.
DOJ g a wagon to try and ween myself back into it.
Here's the progress so far.
The kitb


A star is made including soldering the body halves.


More details and the underframe components.



Only brake hold down pin to do. And of course a little paint to be added.
Once painted I may add a little weight and cut some sponge to fill the void to make it quieter.

A little bit further with the 0395. Reassemble has started ready for transfers and varnish. I've managed to lose the reversing rod. So that's a job for August after our holiday.
I need to do a couple of adjustments to get the loco body to sit properly, its just a little tight on the motor. Need a blackhead from Laurie whilst in UK. The one I had is now in my G6.

A daft question, did you take any photos of the cab footplate. I am slowly building 2 0395s but cannot find any photos of the footplate itself?
