Talyllyn No.1

Funny how one thing can lead to another.
Having received the news from Sir Haydn that Blodwen was ready for delivery from Berry Hill Works, I'd decided to get my posterior in motion and put a suitable rake of stock together.
First up was the all third Locolines Corris coach which I've now fitted with the excellent bogie frames from Andel. (I requested the frames only since I've kept costs down by re-using some wheelsets from stock - well, the bits box).
Rostered with a first class GVT coach, TR Nos 2 & 4 it all looked quite neat but reminded me that I still had an unstarted Tenmille kit for TR No.1.
So, at 10.25pm I've made a start!
Chassis made up, seats constructed & painted, side panel laminates cut out and the first coat of paint on the side & end panels.
We're having to hire a van for tomorrows gig up in Connah's Quay which will eat into the time, but, will it be ready for sunday afternoon?
