The ALCo

The result of a days work. It only needs Name + Works plate, Driver + Fireman, lining and then needs a chassis. I know the paint scheme is similar to the Earls at the moment, but I am concentrating on getting locomotives to run, rather than look prototypical at the moment.

So, this is the status of the locomotive fleet.

1) Earl of Merioneth - Body completed, needs a chassis, possibly two N drive 0-4-0 chassis' linked together.
2) Taliesin - Backwoods kit, being built for me by Paul Martin of EDM models (highly recommended)
3) Mountaineer - Body almost completed, needs an Arnold 0-6-0 chassis.
4) Prince - Body partially built, I have the chassis ready to go (N Drive)
5) Harlech Castle - Body built, chassis acquired, wouldn't take much to get it completed.
6) Cricieth Castle - Body partially built, needs modifying to sit correctly on the 'new' Bachmann class 08 chassis.
7) Merddin Emrys - Langley kit, uncertain future! The quality of the castings are pretty poor and i am debating weather it's worth use some of the castings in a scratch built version. Chassis would be the same as the Earls.
8) James Spooner - a copy of an original FR company drawing is in my possession, ready to scratch build it from plastic. Chassis would be same as Earls
