It's been one of those weeks this week & i have not had chance to get in the workshop. My knee has been playing up ( old speedway injury ) so i have been getting up at silly o'clock most mornings in pain.
Yesterday i was determined to get weaving & do something. First job was to spray a Bradwell NCB hopper in a basecoat & a red oxide. Today the plan is to spray the black on & then leave it to dry.

The hoppers i got stalled with so i will comeback to those after this next build. The wife bought me a judith edge 16inch hunslet a few christmases ago & slowly away i have been buying all the parts to complete the kit. I choose Primrose no2 as my prototype which was a local engine from Peckfield colliery here in the West Riding.

My last bit the gearbox arrived last week & so i decided to make it as it was not exactly a hard part to build up. If i am honest i am not a big fan of fold up worm & gear gearboxes but this little branchlines gearbox is spot on. I am glad as a lot of judith edge kits use them.

Now the gearbox is complete today i want the chassis to a rolling chassis. Once i get this going i will happy i can get stuck in. Judith edge & London road models are my favourite kits they build superbly well which i good as i have stacks of them to make.
