Paul is having problems :unsure: But is still partially hopeful! We may also have the pre-production model of the n-drive 'Katie' but that is still hush hush ^o) Well not really.

It is coming on, still needs painting and a few bits and bobs. But being produced to the drawing and not the photographs of how she is now therefore no sand boxes etc!

Ah Might be a problem there as Paul W has called the loco a few choice names as he has been building it :huh:
Might be easier with a different chassis, Not sure if an N-Drive productions chassis would have the right wheelbase.
Will post some pics of the finished loco when I get it but we can't get down the club next week because of 'Hull Fair' :(

A couple of pics of the finished loco. It is actually green, but pics taken in doors by your truly as it was raining outside :rolleyes Colin has asked me to take the loco to the FoMRMT AGM on Saturday if anybody wants to see it in the flesh!

As promised Peter brought the model to York this afternoon, where it received great admiration in the Edmoson Room...

Name plates are on order from 247 developments. It should really be lined but :rolleyes So all I need now is to finish designing the layout, construct it, make up the coach kits that I got from Howard Martin and paint the ones from Colin P and :blink: :huh:
