Nick, My IT skills are a little limited so if you get this message its probably by good look more than judgement! Did you buy that engineering firm you were interested in when we last spoke? How is the Hall progressing? Work on 3855 is concentrated on the tender, its a new tank, frames are wasted by the dragboxes so have been buit up and 2 new dragboxes are required the rear one is currently under construction, wheelsets are at Rileys for tyre turning. Mechanical work is progressing, tender will probably be finished next year subject to other stuff getting in the way! The loco itself is more or less as it was when it left Blaenavon. Andy
