A step at a time...

I’ve completed the frames on “Growler 1” at last. It took some time, as construction was squeezed between nappy changes and burping of littlest... For a comparison with the mock up look here. I’m in the early stages of building a Flickr gallery.

At the moment I think I’ll paint the under frame grey, and the body red. In Europe it’s a common colour for locomotives, especially if they have just been delivered This way I'm not committed to a final livery style just yet.

Now to hide that motor block under the cab. There's a loud street festival going on outside our house, so I may be building more through the night...
