FOUR Garratts!

#1

Had to happen, folks. On friday 31 August we will have FOUR Garratts runnng over at Trevor’s place. Much video will be tooked…two maroon, one black and one lined-out mid-green…[dribble]. Interesting to note that out of the four, three have so far needed major attention.

Just got my custom cab-side loco plates from the maker, Diane Carney. I only need two, but she made five [one of which is spoiled by a badly trimmed edge] so if anybody wants a set of Alfred Country Railway NG/G16 plates, now’s your chance!!!

As usual, I’ll post details of the vids after the event, in case anybody might want to see them.

Best to all -

Hi Tac

Interesting you mention Diane Carney - she made my plates for the Fowler, but didn’t trim them at all - it was an H of a job to do…very good plates indeed, but not cheap.

Her Godson later visited my modest line, a young feller by the name of Dibnah…might not mean much in the US, but in the UK…!!!

Mine, too, are untrimmed, to my surprise. For that amount I had really expected them to be trimmed, painted and fixed to the locomotive as well by a craftsman in a Rolls-Royce workshop van.

AND I provided ALL the artwork as well…hmmmmmm

Anyway, I’ll save a set for you for when you get your Garratt…[wink].

Best wishes
