Lovely, a loco I really should make more effort to chase, several were allocated to Hull Dairycoates and used on local trip workings.

Good looking loco.

Nice one.

Way too cold in the shed today (-3°c) so we went down to Ramsgate for a chippy dinner.
Rude not to call in at Hornby round the corner in Margate as I wanted some replacement carriage wheels. Sadly, these fell into my grubby mitts while I was there.

If these things happen Steve there is nothing you can do about it.

Therapy?????????

[Walkingthedog]

Definitely a form of therapy.

The therapist that can help me hasn't been born yet. And until they are, I shall continue my own retail therapy.
I classify this one as a 'novelty' loco. Decoder and sound fitted this evening and I'll finish the detailing tomorrow. No crew yet as I've run out of painted figures and it's a bit chilly at the painting desk.
I did work out why this one was on the refuced shelf at Hornby - slightly paint wear on the rear edge of the cab roof. Answer - black felt pen. And for that I got £101 off rrp.

It just would have been too rude to have left it on the reduced shelf
