Re: Ellie's body finished.
Hi Simon,
No, as with parting off, with hand turning you keep cutting until the work piece falls off leaving a small dimple which one or two strokes with a file is removed.
Have a Great and healthy 2022. Catch up some time.
Take care G&T.

Re: Possibly the last run on Rhydypenau Garden Railway this year.
Hi,
How do you regulate the speed of the locomotive? It looks great at night.
When built in the 1950's an extra pound was spent so the Enterprise would have a regulator.
Take care Tony.

Ellie update.
Hi,
I have done some work to the body of Ellie and decided that it will be 7/8"scale so the driver can see over the boiler. A figure arrived from Model Earth yesterday.
Take care Tony.
