This was is up there among one of the best in the country and we're very much looking forward to returning with Bron Hebog in 2020.
June also saw an unexpected opportunity to purchase another Backwoods double fairlie, which Himself duly snapped up and straight away began starting work on a James Spooner, being careful not to get ahead of the real one under construction at Boston Lodge.
The Gladstone Car was also finished with transfers and the illusion of curtains in the central saloon now in place.
August
We didn't waste any time starting on the next of our WHHR carriages.
Himself soldered up a Worsley Works kit for the buffet car and I was given the job of knocking up an interior in styrene.
James Spooner now had its bogies and firebox (motorbox) complete.
Hot on the heels of the Buffet Car was another brass body shell for the Ashbury corridor carriage in its original form, which we're doing up as the replica built for the WHHR.
September
There was a little more scenic work done on Bron Hebog ready for its next outing in Greenock in the autumn, with more trees being planted.
By now the WHHR carriages were already being painted.
And Gelert was in the final stages of painting and lining with a lot of extra details being added to the 3D body to really set it off.
