This came in from one of our commercial customers a few months ago. It was unpainted and had spent a while in a dusty environment. Between ourselves and our local painter it has been spruced up, cleaned, painted and lined, with name and numberplates by Endon Valley Custom Decals. It has also received some detailing which was missing from the model as received.
It has been tested and runs rather sweetly. It is as shown in Stephen Phillips book on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway shortly before the vacuum and steam heating pipes were routed along the edge of the loco.

Yesterday's second trial was the new Accucraft Talyllyn Railway No3 Sir Haydn. An absolutely gorgeous loco which ran very nicely. I think those who saw it in the 'metal' were impressed by the quality, finish and its running. Having driven the 12" per foot scale version about 18 years ago from Wharf to Brynglas and back under the tutoring of the late, great, Charles Daniel your scribe has a soft spot for this loco.
The model did not disappoint.

Yesterday was a day of two trials. This is the first: An Accucraft Peckett 0-4-0 which we have managed to fit 2 channel radio control into using Fosworks R/c.
A complicated and involved instalation which made me wonder if I could actually do it at times. It works. I doubt if I'll do any more though as it is not commercially viable really.

As it's Easter weekend we think we deserve a break for a few days, so, we will shut up shop this evening and then head back into the workshop on Tuesday next (7th April). Except for a trip out tomorrow the grand masterplan is to do some gardening and general maintenance of this place and fall back onto so of my own fleets repairs if the weather is iffy.
