Today the Kitchen table has been occupied by an Aristocraft 2-8-2 bought very cheaply and without a tender at the Llangollen show at the weekend. Checked it when home and it works so that was a relief.
It has now had most of the body superstructure removed reducing it to everything to that below(including) the running board.
This is readying it for what might be my next project to create a likeness of the at one time proposed BR standard 2-8-2 that never got off the drawing board, being dropped in favour of the design for the 2-10-0 9f.
Anyway I’ll probably do a proper thread on the build once it gets started!

FLEET MODERNISATION !
LGB 20420 MOB purchased from Amazing little trains
andyspencer
a few months back is undergoing fleet modernisation from 80s MOB to 2020s MOB using Cast wrap vinyl, It been stripped and here is the first wrap going on with Modern MOB (not as nice as the 80/90s !) logo. I will be doing a full report on the Cast vinyl when completed as now used it on three projects now and still learning ! LGB split the main body into three parts with a thin section between them thats quite annoying and not sure its purpose ! Quite happy with NAVY Satin Plastikote paint so far also which was a shock. Panoramic coach this evening !

Deckline
I have been building a display for my newest loco and attached a track cleaner to a mop base (after securing permission) to help my back. Hopefully a few sunny days here in Sydney over the weekend for some expansion of the line and some running time! The display boards are a frame of Blackbutt with an inlay of an old piece of the deck where the layout runs.
