Last year, I built this little display pad for Askham Hall
Recently I found it again so I've decided to make a few more
The 2 new display pads are the Ladysmith Washery throat and a Whitehaven Harbour crossing

Ah, Ha, Ha, Ha, Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive!
That’s right folks, several of our upcoming loco projects will be fitted with a stay-alive capacitor (such as the SECR O1 and Stirling Single). We have even managed to squeeze one into our upcoming AB Fireless.

Fuming that I didn't do a before picture, cause the glowup here is insane
Guy came with a bright orange body, grey everywhere else and no chassis
He's not quite done, but I'm rather happy with the result so far

If you desire a locomotive (re-)paint and/or assembly, look no further! DMs are open for Questions
Was just a matter of time until I moved this over from the bird app as well.

An engine best served cold..
Following my Askham Hall post, I thought it best to show off Revenge.
It's an EFE Rail J94, fitted with an RT Models giesl and Light Railway Stores plates
It's based on its 1970s condition at Ladysmith Washery, Whitehaven
