A few things still to do – brake and handrails in the cab, fixing the engine casing. But… getting there!

Wort at work 2
With the Brewery still roasting malt to make more ales and beers, Wort sets off to deliver barrels of beer up the valley. A small wagon load is dropped of at the little hamlet of Felin Hen, before the rest is taken to the thirsty quarrymen at Sling Uchaf.
(Wort is my interpretation of a Hudson “Go-Go” tractor using a cheap tinplate tractor as a basis.)

Strimmer in action!
6G Garten Bahn running 6&7 Nov.
Having fitted my 0-4-0 loco with working headlights & whistle I did some night running on 6 Nov. along with some LGB company. It works well with signalling. Saturday was mixed running again with 2 LGB & the steam loco “Alice”. LGB tram loco made a guest appearance.
7/8ths Trolly
Been building this 7/8ths trolly on 22mm track for micro layout. Thought you might be interested. I cast my own leaf springs to fit bespoke, most of the materials are wood, plastic and card, half pearl beads for rivets. It will be on a 4foot square layout.

Test Run 4415
Since our last meet up, the Moel Rhos has taken delivery of the parts for a Kerr Stuart 4415-type, designed and manufactured at the RVM workshops and now being assembled by Moel Rhos’ engineering department, who try to make up with in enthusiasm what they lack in ability.
Here is the chassis out on a test run. It is a chain driven 6WD but we think one or more of the chains are slipping. Once it has run in a bit, the engineering dept. will attempt to remove one more link from each to tighten them up and prevent the chain coming off or any slippage.
Wort at work
At last, some fine autumn sunshine has arrived to replace the earlier stormy weather, and as the local area gets ready for the end of lockdown, the Drains Brewery is busily roasting malt to meet the anticipated demand for ales and beers. Wort and his driver are hard at work delivering supplies to the Brewery. Meanwhile the Tramway track gang are clearing storm debris from the line to allow deliveries to go up the valley. Once they have finished their work Wort will be busy taking barrels up the line for the local hostelries …..

Just managed a quick run around today as I am on a zoom teach weekend at work, quick sneaky lunch break run. Wont be able to chat tomorrow as I am on remembrance parade. These wagons are all Phil Sharples kits just customised to look a bit different and well used. The loco is scratch built on Phil Sharples budget chasis with a loco remote running off of android phone.
