The P.W train

Over the last week, steady progress has been made to make a reasonable P.W train. The list of stock now includes;
Mess Coach
B wagon
Hudson bogie wagons (2)
Brake van (FR number 6)
I've made a chassis to hold a cherry-picker / crane wagon and a companion wagon.
Finally, the motive power!
I have a Kato 4 wheel tram chassis i use to rest track, and i decided since it is a fairly small chassis, it would fit nicely under a rail mounted truck. So a trip to Porthmadog Models resulted in some paint, brushes and an Airfix kit for a Bedford QLD + QLT trucks. The QLD was used as it was the cargo carrying version of the Bedford, rather than the troop carrying variety (QLT)
This weekend was a quite busy weekend and as a result, there was no modelling. However I did manage to pass out as a Ffestiniog Railway fireman, happy days!
