Put this one here is on Lauries layout that he built before he passed away, At the time I did not know if I was going to have to move from here and I was working on a N-scale layout, So a mate Tony end up with it and last week Tony said he was moving house and did I want it, So now Lauries layout is here but sadly it got a bit of damage to it but it is easy fixed, Oh Tony want the locos and rolling stock.
This is a Rock crushing plant that Laurie put together on the layout and he weathered it with dry pastels not bad job for someone who neverbuilt a model before, We both worked on the layout together.

The paper work for it was a hit and miss it was more guess work to were parts go, there were no windows for it and the second conveyor belt was not in the kit you can see a hole in the wall for it, will look at making one up for it.
I showed Laurie how to weather it and left him to do it.
It took him a week to put it together and weather it.
The little half round building took him a week to put together he came close to jumping on it as you had to clip parts together as you clip two parts together they would let go when you started to clip the next one. yes!

Still miss the old fellow.

Here is the 44 with the 48, Have to fit a twin headlight into the 44 looks like it been lost by the old bloke who owned it will make up something for it.

I wanted a 48 in the Indian Red colour but when they came out the sold out very fast the only one I could buy was in the Candy colour.
