Rembering Ron.
Finished now. It does run, on a smooth surface. Not the best model I've ever built but it kept me busy for a few days. The quality of the kit is very good, and they even provide a few spare parts for those that are likely to get broken: My next build will be this one, picked up in a charity...- stillp

Rembering Ron.
Well, Ron did like railway locos didn't he, so I've started this in his honour. If anyone feels it's inappropriate I don't mind if it's moved. No glue or paint needed, so I might actually finish it in a reasonable time. After the first afternoon's work I had this: which looks like good...- stillp
