Congratulations Richard. That first trip around is for me the major milestone. We work hard to get there and then everything just follows on afterwards. The 56 looks great and what a work horse it will be. Here's wishing you and your dear wife a safe and happy Christmas and all the best for 2021. Regards, David.
Brilliant Richard. The new loco looks fab; kudos to Laura. It is always a major feeling of accomplishment when the first full loops get in. Happy Christmas and keep on doing great work!
Looking really good there! I'm really pleased for you... and pleased you used my work to make your first 360-degree run!! Items done on this model were; Shaplan roof grills, lifting point covers (they're the large ones closed to the doors), V-aerial on the roof, and horn cover grills. I was particularly pleased with the last of these and I'll be using the same method for my own 56's in the future! I see you have that bump across the lift-up hatch. The best way to make it perfect every time, is to lay rail across the whole joint, solder it to the copper strip or copper clad sleepers... and once it's all secure, you cut the rail with a razor saw leaving a small crack across the joint... so you have to be careful when lifting it out!
Hi Richard - The first loop run is indeed a milestone and I am very much looking forward to sseing the layout progress.......Have a great Christmas Cheers Kev

Brilliant mate it looks a nice track plan. Laura has done a fantastic job on the loco. Have a good Christmas atb Andy
Yay, it's underway! Once you can run a train, everything else will follow along.
I just brought an old dapol one from our well known place the loco itself is brill with light but why do people cut the couplings of ?
