Good Evening everyone, we're starting off this new page with what I hope to be a weekly model post.
While the weather is still simply frigid a snowplough seems appropriate
This is the Weardale Lead Co's plough now preserved at Beamish.
not even with gloves/protective layers on?
The richest man in human history spends his time alone in his room, trying and failing to figure out how to talk chan-speak on 4chan.
quizlet is quite useful for that I found
absolutely gorgeous - something about 16mm really brings it to life (as well as the fantastic lettering!!)
I was gonna wait until he was done but I'm way too excited with how this is turning out.
Here's my 16mm live-steam 'Stanley'!
Still needs a '2' on the cab side, lamp irons and vacuum pipes, but he's so close now - I can't wait to fire him up soon.

The Railway was opened in 1865 & has never closed down, remaining an independent company through groupings & nationalisation to this day - we still run trains on our original Act of Parliament!
We are so lucky to still have both of our original steam locomotives, passenger carriages & brake van.
