A quick spin on the triangle at Ridge Wharf allows another picture of our little loco, now facing the other way.

Lurking against one of the cement buildings 0n 'the Quay', when Arne Wharf closed for good in '64, this hybrid loco was bought by Blue Circle...... yeah right! Arne Wharf is all packed for tomorrow, so Cement Quay had to do as somewhere to pose this old banger!

Well, I was against the clock with this one due to tomorrow's show, so here it is with whatever was lying about at home and in the toolbox. Extra bits include some rails just forward of the cab for coal, some beading along the top of the tanks. Chassis will remain 'as is', it's a big lump of metal and it would be silly to lighten it in this case. Smokebox door? Well I did say 'whatever was at home', in this case a drawing pin head. I'll come back to it in due course - though I have several projects like that, some well over 20 years old. Next!

I've had this Liliput HOe (Bachmann) Zillertalbahn loco sat in the garage for a couple of years. It looked totally out of place on any of my layouts, hence it languishing in the garage. In the latest 009 Society newsletter there is a featurette on how to Anglicise one. Here is my take after a few hours work. Lots to do yet, it is starting to look convincing with the best improvments being circular screens and some extra height to make it look more like 4mm scale.
