Himself is keeping busy doing what he can to complete 130 while we wait for final photographic confirmation of where all the pipework will go on the real thing.
So in the meantime he's finished painting the bogies, and the good news is that they are still running sweetly.
The issue we have is that there's still some pipework to be
completed around the front of the cab / firebox, and as these are brass
parts which will need to be soldered in place it doesn't make any sense
to paint this area first - unlike on the real locomotive.
Hopefully
now the painted cab has been transported to Dinas it won't be too long
before it is bolted in place and we'll see the things we need to see to
crack on and get this beauty finished.
