Skarloey

 A new addition to Hadarford's loco stock, 0-4-2 'Skarloey' leaving Hadarford station with a small mixed freight train.

As purchased, the Thomas the Tank Engine face had been removed and a proper smokebox door fitted. 2 of the buffers were missing so I have removed the 2 remaining ones and repainted the buffer beams signal red as opposed to the original body colour. I painted the smokebox and chimney in matt black rather than the original gloss black I will weather it to tone-down the brightness of the red livery. 😊

Working Brazier

 Yesterday this working brazier arrived in the post, this afternoon I fitted it.

The brazier as delivered

Hole cut through the baseboard and surrounding gravel removed

Fortunately sited very close to the control board for the arc welder in the engine shed, so picked up 12v DC from there

Fitted in place, new gravel glued around the base and power turned on
