Well as promised I took a couple of pictures. Now I know it's not his birthday until tomorrow but as it's his 90th we decided he is going to have a 3 day birthday :thumbup:

He''s got a smile on his face, so you did well.

I would think you made his day on two levels. It's a nice little model, but more importantly I would think, it was you that built it for him.

Regards,
Graeme

Well, if that is him at 90, my guess is you will be doing it again in another 10 years!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Just seen your thread Steve. what can I say. Firstly "5 days" wow, it takes me all my time to think about what to do next... :lol:

Seriously, you have done a 1st Class job on his surprise. It's something to be very proud of for both of you.I know what you mean on the wiring too, mine is not that brilliant, but it does the job.

By the way, my BIRTHDAY is in September...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

A smile like that makes it all worthwhile

Thanks for all your kind comments. Phil (my step father) had a wonderful couple of days for his birthday and was over the moon with his special present, truth be known it actually bought some tears to his eyes, I have never seen that before in the 40 years I have known him . It has gone down that well with other like minded friends that I am building a couple more complete loco's to sell to club members. So much for just building chassis hey, lol :lol:

I built and sold 2 more loco's as I mentioned above. They showed them to a couple of people and now I have 2 more on order from another 2 club members, lol. They are going down a real treat I am pleased to say. One of the guys that purchased one ran it for 2 hours at the club the other morning and it was still going. I didn't think the batteries would last that long, again, pleasently surprised. :thumbup:

The chassis will continue to be built once I finish these 2 loco's which I will get to work on after a short holiday soon. :D
