Preparing for ExpoNG: part 2

With the deadline for ExpoNG approaching further work is required on Creech Grange in terms of adding the final details, however before that, it was necessary, obviously, to test out the new locomotive...

The Avonside runs well, nearly as well as the Decauville based Hunslet, and certainly smoother than the Heywood tank - which is good, because it will be relied upon to entertain the masses at ExpoNG in a few weeks time.

I took a few photos of the engine, Motorail 'Dalmunzie' estate coach and Robert Hudson 'Sand Hutton' brake van at the standard gauge interchange, and tweaked them on the phone to be black and white. I'm looking forward to finishing the layouts details (signs, a bike (if I can find one), clutter (boxes and barrels) and some guards between the rails as it passes through the estate wall) and then taking some better photos after the show.

More soon...
