Loco building seminar

Those present may remember that I laid out the frames for a Gibson 0 6 0 chassis as a starting point for building a loco kit. Having opened the box, and talked about it, I thought I should finish the kit . So here it is awaiting some final details , couplings and weathering. The kit design was quite old, and used quite thick brass, which required some
perseverance with soldering. I hope to bring it along for a test run in January.
