With ABB featuring at Alexandra Palace over the coming weekend we are busy preparing.
A few of the locos on the layout are lacking a crew, which is most noticeable on the tender engines, but easy to fit as there is good access. However, for tank engines it is difficult to get small bodies inside without undoing lots of screws and then finding its still impossible. So why bother . . . . you can see where I did get someone inside 82030, can’t you? Other engines are more helpful, the space where the backhead should be proved useful on the 94xx.
By later Tuesday we had ABB packed and stacked ready for Friday’s trip up the M4.
After that was complete we had a chance to admire Luke’s Model T combination which has featured before. It just needs nameplates and crew, and maybe even passenger(s)?
