    The layout is soon to get its 38 class. OGH bought with the donation from the Aussie taxpayer.

    Painted with a mix of Tamiya and lined with decals from Teditor.

    That's the easy bit, now onto the mechanical and electrical work. :>)
    cheers

    Banking operations this morning before mowing the grass. The 79 just about to stop and reverse back to ten town while the 19 continues to seven mile mulga and beyond.
    The 19 weighs very little ,the 79 is brass.

    4886 looks awesome in the sun . Its funny seeing the inners without the 24v motor. Did you sort the back 2 back or is it coping with the peco check clearances?

    Hi Stan, I have left it as it is. It will grind its way through Peco points but it is mainly intended for use on my outer track where there are no points and to be run on coursescale layouts when visiting.
