Go_West Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks for all the kind comments. /media/tinymce_upload/afa6e9bbd1d682eba312bc2d5cc59fdd.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/56c98e65dbfc205d65ef94063bb5a99f.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/5d6c580fcf8c3f0ca24ea50d63a41bfa.jpgWith the engine and tender coupled together its at the point that a steam up will prove if its all back in A1 condition I will run it on the rolling road and as Rob sent me some extra rollers I can now support all the drivers on this engine. We will have to see what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Absolutely fantastic Ken. I love the way that you work your way through any problems to get a great result.OOLS P2 - what could be more impressive?

Muzza Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Ken,It is not your job to entertain and amaze us - but you do.Thanks for sharing the process that you go through to make yet another amazing LS loco.

Go_West Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 yes Muzza my collection has grown if only Hornby had continued i would have a few more and a lot less cash in the bank.but now getting low on spare parts and that will be the thing that stops me building any more still here are some of the ones i have made and run from time to time some need to come into the work shop as a good service and touch up will help keep them in tip top condition just like the real thing./media/tinymce_upload/7dcf0ac1f335929268c2b3b94e451d13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I love them all, but your S69 has to take top prize. Inside cylinders and crank axle - and it runs well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go_West Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes your right it my favourite to it sits in its glass case and ever time I get it out it steams and runs well using the same inside cylinder system an LMS or class 14xx would be a challenge?kenloco could be constructed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Ken, what you achieve with these models is totally amazing, love the P2, and have followed most of your builds here on the forum, great engineering skills, congratulations to you, look forward to your next project.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
