What’s All This Then?

In the wheeltracks of 143 Himself is cracking on with 130.


There’s a limit to how much he can do without seeing how the real one is going to look when its restoration is completed at Dinas.


This kit, which is one of the last produced by Backwoods, has thrown up some challenges already on account of the alternate wheelsets which were supplied with it.

The back to backs are tighter, and the bearings also had to be slimmed down to stop them squeezing the gearboxes.

There may well be other surprises to come, but I’m confident Himself will find a way to overcome them.
