A delivery that arrived just after I'd published my last blog shows the power of the model rail world as a community.
In the excellent, and free-to-download, Throwback Modeller, it was mentioned that I was looking for some replacement simplex axle-boxes for an old Saltford Models kit.
Within a month someone 3D printed me off a full replacement set, and refused to even accept a contribution to postage. I did, though, make a contribution to a preserved railway on their behalf.
I should stress because Brian Clarke can get very touchy about this, to say the least, that these are not direct copies of his castings.
The loco was built by the late Brian Dominic. One of those people who crossed my path in many worlds: 16mm garden railways, Discworld, and canal boats, particularly the Brum Tug.
I have other work to do on this loco, like replacing the tissue paper curtain. Then I have to decide about its future. It is something I think should be handed on to for the future.
