Steam Engines - Further Progress
Hi All,
Some major progress locomotive wise with work being done on Meridden Emrys, Mountaineer, Lyd and my FFestiniog Esque Haig Tender conversion.
Apart from the missing smokebox, ME is close to completion and adding of the Lined Maroon Paint job. All I need to do is get another GP50 chassis and start work on making a second Fairlie chassis to give ME its own.
Also, new accidental arrival Mountaineer's been painted into its current Black scheme and awaits lining and nameplates.
Lyd is pretty much the same as Mountaineer state wise except the addition of detailing to various parts on the body (painted gold).
And the odd one out, My Haig Tender conversion now named 'Blaencwm' is awaiting Nameplates but is otherwise finished.

Lyd and Joffre
Small update on progress on Lyd. Now awaiting painting and decals. However, the end is rather.........tail happy. See below
Lyd including rubber support
Any ideas how to fix that?
On a different note, while looking at the Joffre I got second hand, the cab back fell off and in my haste, I managed to leave it end on end with a spare FR tender I got for Linda. On closer inspection, I think it looks good. Comments on this would be greatly appriated.
