Current Projects?
I've been mainly working on the S15 lately, but am considering putting it on hiatus until more parts become available in Olive Green. Yes, the tender is too long, but I've opted for that arrangement of motor and bogie, rather than going down the route of an axle-motor-axle arrangement, disguised as 2 bogies. And the cab is currently impossible to build for real, it's just an idea of the shape.
The Ivatt 2MT is becoming more appealing a project at the moment, being a black engine and therefore not having the aggro of working in a ridiculously rare colour. I also saw a real one recently and really like the look of the proto. This project would be an attempt at a Bricktrix-style loco, with the wierd tapered boiler thing going on, and lots of pipework.
Whichever one I'll commit too, I probably won't get a chance to build it till the summer, probably in time for STEAM.
