As some of you may know i have had the signiture loco from the MHLR. the plan was that the handing over was to be tommorow but best laid plans and all that. Any way these are the ex works photos

Hmmm sorry Dan prefer it how it was to be honest.





Can't wait to see her in the flesh, you've really worked your magic on her.

somehow I missed this

Hmmmm never knew Columbine was away from her home turf! anyhow, looks great!

Who built the tender?

Cool, but the red wheels do look quite toy trainy.

Will, it's a Mamod. What have I said about Mamods?

Me. Only the body though, Mr Mamod built the chassis.

Hi MHLR, did you guys ever build more than one tender of the same spec...? *ponders*

PS: Repaint the wheels. Please. Mamods don't have to be clown cars [apart from those wheels mind, Columbine's a lovely looking loco!]

Don't paint the wheels Just send it as is to the WPSR Where Mamods rule (if the rabbits let them!!)

Nah, I made it as a one off from some tinplate sheet. Very easy to do though, just using a pair of tinsnips and a pop riveter to fix the sides to the floor panel.

Or the D&FGR where the same rule applies! Unless they've failed again, which is 90% the case, so Edrig rules mostly!
