What happened at your workbench today?

A new locomotive has arrived at the railway. This lovely Accucraft countess, the second steam engine at the railway after the Edrig. Not had it in steam but possibly one for the weekend if time allows

I've had my 'Earless' since a week after they appeared in the stores. Mine is still manual in GWR green and much-loved as a reliable performer, especially after a £300 rebuild by old pal Dave Mees a couple of years ago. SLR make the most exquisite and correct GWR red and white side-lamps - they work, too!

I got time this weekend to finish off this diesel, and a small rake of hoppers. All 3D printed, with the loc just given a wash over of muck. Wheels for the hoppers are old plastic LGB wheels, while the loco uses some Binnie copies I printed off. The motor is 12V, and this is just running off 3V for testing. There's space for a 9V battery and speed controller, and at that point, I will add the cab detail.

Where did the stl's come from?
