GWR 0-4-0ST 1151


I’ve opened the CSP/Agenoria box and made a start on 1151.




The real 1151 was well photographed and I now have prints showing the various details, which differentiate it from similar locos of the period in South Wales. I hope to progress the loco soon at the Missenden Abbey Summer School, where I will concentrate on the body before making firm decisions on the gearbox and compensation. This means putting the wheels to one side for the time being until I can be sure the chassis with gearbox and motor will fit easily inside the body.
