For your continuing delight and delectation - here's our end of the month run over at the Mereside track. Please note that with the exception of my Hudson and the Aristocraft Class 66 diesel, oh, and the blood and custard passenger coaches - all the locos were hand-build, and apart from a couple of truck kits, so was everything else.

The unpainted locos are 'proving' before their paint job - I think they look good like that, if all you are going to do is look at them, but these models are designed for hard work all their long lives. without exception, they are all meths-fired.

Yes I have seen it on YT. It is a good looker isn't it? The streamlined one is pretty cool but I like the livery above the most. Gordon and Michael from Argyle Loco were both over in China recently to oversee the final production. I tend to stick with narrow gauge otherwise I would have no boundaries. First the loco then the cars $$$. Argyle are also commissioning a set of brass passenger cars to suit.

A few years back, Gordon was very kind in helping me get my Beyer-Garratt running properly by supplying me with his 'patent' mesh burner fix.

If you're talking to me Keith - I don't (apart from four class 66s, one class 47, a pseudo BR Garrett and a load of Englishfied items of rolling stock). I would, however, not be averse to a stable of 9Fs, 6P7Fs, Black Fives, Halls, Castles, 31s (my all time favourite diesel) etc. Oh for a full rake of LNER teak sided coaches.
