Nice work Tony..that's craftsmanship.

Nice work Tony, I suspect you had that all knocked up in an afternoon 🤔😉😄😇✌️
A man after my own heart, although my health, hands and eyes aren't great (so my more adventurous modelling has ceased) I'm still making recognisable representations of the prototype from O gauge Lima et al, and it looks fine alongside RTR, kit builds and wrecked second hand waifs and strays that I rework on a budget ✌️👍🤞😊
Also think on this, £100? That's great value for money and "cheap" hobby time. My neighbours told me, that, at a lesser gastro pub, two of them, a main course each, one drink each and one pudding each? £85! Plus fuel to and from, all about £100. Your charming model kept you entertained for hours and that's great value hobby time, if you see what I mean ✌️👍😊💜

I hope someday that one of the model kits company will start producing the Robinson O4 2-8-0 locomotive kits available on the Model railway kits websites and I think that finding a Robinson 04 2-8-0 locomotive kits are very hard to find these days and I would like to try make a locomotive kit.

I think it was a mistake using the text to explain this. Would have been much better speaking over the images.
Disappointingly amateur.
