2019 - Part 4

We rounded off the year with a first showing of Bron Hebog in Scotland at our own club's show in Greenock and with the debut of our new set of WWHR carriages.


Unfortunately only Russell is able to pull the whole lot up the hill. Gelert and the Baldwin have to have the load reduced....

130 is really starting to come together, although once again Himself is waiting for the real one to be finished so we can be completely sure about all those little details.


I'd finally got round to making a start on the second WHR Pullman observation car which is being given the name Gwyrfai.


November

Progress on the carriage has not been rapid but did get most of a day to myself to start adding the beading to the side pieces.


Himself decided that after many years broken on a shelf it was time to get our original Blanche back into running order, a major operation which required the strip down of the chassis and replacement of a gear wheel.


He was also getting on with the very intricate task of lining out the FR Observation car 152, the completion of which has taken most of 2019.


December

To bring the review up to date, as you've been reading in recent weeks I've been making an effort to complete the first model of van 51, which has sat for many months looking like this.


And Himself celebrated the completion of 152 with a line up of our three Pullman obs, hopefull to be joined by a fourth next year.


Thanks for reading our updates during 2019 and we look forward to sharing more of our modelling with you in 2020.
