Two weeks ago my mate Andy popped round to check on progress... Clearly he was disapointed as he took away the smokebox and front axel to assemble and sand blast for me... He returned today with this!......
So.. all rather jazzy!.. I plodded on and finished the two front wheels, well nearly.. Andy has taken them away for sandblasting.. but they looked a little bit something like this....
...Then we got all excited and put them together and got all a bit unessasary and it looked like this!!.. Chuffed to nuts I am.. Things are happening!
So all being well this time in a couple of weeks we shall have a nearly finished front end! My jobs to plod on with now are to finish the smokebox by building up the heat proof paint.. Paint and line front axel and finish the smokebox door rings... After that I am going to turn my hand to the rear wheels.. which are big mother f***ers!... So thats it for now.. Keep on keeping on peeps!
Ohh.. More photos and details on Andys blog and check out some of the stuff he gets upto!..He is a bit more into his blogging than I am!..
