I like the colours.

Mine is black and yellow too.

Skagit River Railway 350HP.

Body is just a card mock-up.

Needs the G-scale wheels replacing with NWSL wheels both for appearance and for wider track compatibility.

At the same time I shall replace the moulded gears with NWSL machined ones. The originals were cracked on delivery, which I gather was the norm at the time. They've survived test running.

And then a new body . . .

The line isn't mine by the way. I don't have one at home and if I want to run locally I go up to Butterley which I co-founded for that reason. One reason why those shiny flanges have to go!
