hi
thought you would like to see the conclusion of the lil bash now it is all painted and numbered

she looks okay in black i am not sure about the weathering but thats for another day and it will probably have the normal bits ans pieces on it and i think it would be okay to put some chains on the front to make it look as if it can do parallel shunting and the odd bucket .

sitting in the sunshine it had its first run today might have to have some more weight

engine now under full weight seems to pull well but we will see what its like with some caches behind it

well thats it thanks again for the insperation on the forum have not got a clue what i will do next but i feel another kit bash coming on all i need now is another lil and a long coach for an australian steam coach that another story probably in the winter hopefully can start playing( or do i mean operating ) in the garden
