Dan's roller

Post by DLRdan » Thu May 02, 2013 11:06 am

Some months ago you may remember this arriving on my drive.

It has now been 10 months since those pictures were taken and a lot of work in between. There are still one or two little bits to finish off and touch up but it is now finished.

Nice one! Is it easy to transport (so it could go to a garden railway meeting?)

Is that a not so subtle hint Brian ?


And yes, it is.

That has come out very nice looking. Now the fun begins with the enjoyment of steaming around the country.

Well Done.

Stunning job Dan, glad to see that the occasional anger and heartache has been worth it!

Now that's a heck of a beautiful job Dan 8) Especially given the condition it arrived in, the hard work and skill definitely shows!

Loving it, well done indeed. :D
