a little more progress. The rough parts for he smokebox dry assembled. A new saddle will be made.

So this stunning machine has been left by its owner for use on the barley pit line.... http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r760/Matt_Towell/5ADEFCDB-0067-424E-80E1-37B70E469C12_zpslrwexzeg.jpg It's the electric version but I'm so happy it's here and I get to have a play while I build the steam versi...

Yes barle has djb draincocks fitted.

Happy to here my madness is inspiring others to keep going with their lines

Was 20c here today. Although the burner does get used to keep us warm playing trains at night

A pleasant time playing trains this afternoon

I had no issues ordering from them.

Thanks for the advice Chris. I have sent them an email and will let you know the outcome
