Certainly looks it! Seems like the accident has resulted in a more robust loco in the end

The Hunslet progresses through the paint shed. Some faults in rubbing down show through the green but from a normal viewing distance ...

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
I like the colour too Phil, it looks suited to the loco and will work well with further detailing.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Trevor,
I'm hoping for good weather on Friday and that the charger I ordered yesterday arrives in time to give it a good charge.

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Clara has been a bit shy of having her photo taken lately but here are some pictures to show how she is progressing:-
The firebox, boiler and smokebox have been rubbed down after their initial coat of filler primer which I hope will ensure printing marks have been removed. The black detailing parts are more finely printed and needed less sanding. The switch can be seen in the coal bunker, the red wires passing through into the firebox. Two pieces of plastic were glued into the bunker to support a piece of black plastikard which will be covered in coal.
She has had a first spray of the filler primer.

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
Not the best picture perhaps but here’s the layout at the Swansea MRG open day yesterday
Trefor was driven a bit too fast, derailed and seems to have had his back to back altered!

Re: Yr Hen Felin & Yr Orsaf Newydd
The trains and the buildings are looking good, but I think you need to practice a bit harder on your backscene painting!
