Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

The software is doing exactly what it has been told to do..

Not, what a programmer thinks they have told it to do..

First thing to work out is if it is the software on the devices taking / posting the pictures, or the software running the Forum?

Thanks for the tip re the use of an electric toothbrush for cleaning: I now have an excuse for not discarding used brush attachments. I may be wrong but in the photo the funnel seems to lean ever slightly forward, which was a fault in the original body mould. I recall discussing this with the surviving LGB founder
 
the late Wolfgang Richter- the Harley-Davidson aficionado. I mentioned at the time that the chassis could serve as a basis for an Unitah mallet where upon Richter left the conference room and returned with a book on the history of Gilsonite mineral (The original basis of the floor covering linoleum manufacturing) hauling railway in Utah/Colorado mountains. So I knew we would see such a loco in a future release!

Those brown mallets were certainly a wonderful beast, mine came in the wooden box set (imported from Germany as he was working over there so the price was very good ) with 2 pullmans an oblong of track and controller. A great set, it was moved on to a former forum member in Hemel who has I think sold it all on again via the forum. I currently have a Black and French Red version.
 
It certainly has a presence,
Seeing as David worked for clarks shoes company manufacturers
I thought a shoe shoe would be a good tribute to him
