Himself was being challenged with building up a prototype chassis for Gelert which we had been asked to test, seen here beneath the Robex 3D printed body.
Some finishing details were being added to observation carriage 152.

Dduallt was back on show just down the road from us in Troon.
I was puzzling out how to fit an interior into the Gladstone carriage while still allowing for the floor to be removed for painting and maintenance.
Carriage 20 was swiftly painted and made its debut on the layout at the show.
June
I was embarking on a project to create a kit of parts to build the P Way van 51 in its current condition - shown here are the first of the castings for the body.
The chassis on Gelert was progressing with the motion now in place.
And carriage 152 was taken for a first test run on Dduallt.
Fortunately, this time I'd drilled the holes for the bogie pivot bolts in the correct position and it didn't foul the rockface in the cutting beneath Rhoslyn Bridge!
