Since the first of these events I have produced the train shown above. The engine is a PDF models Port class, my second kit built loco. I shall be seeking some help with getting it to run smoothly, I’m having problems with the worm and drive gears meshing properly! The green coach is an IP Engineering kit built and painted by myself and with some Brandbright extra detailing. The two red coaches are Jerry Irwin kits bought ready to run which I spent many hours getting to a satisfactory paint finish. They have Brandbright door handles because I kept breaking the originals. Passengers and crew are yet to be painted and installed.

A lockdown train – a wonderful by-product of this terrible pandemic. I hope you get the gears meshing, I’ve had plenty of trouble with that myself. I’ve not built a PDF chassis (yet) but the best I’ve built in terms of this is the HGLW where it’s relatively easy to adjust.
The Jerry Irwin coaches look superb, I must get some more of his models as I really like them – although I haven’t got round to finishing those I already have. That’s a great finish you’ve achieved! Looks from the photo the Irwin coaches have a tumblehome where the IPE has straight sides?
