This is a list of pending projects I recently posted on another thread...
Mamod Loco build
TE1 n&b build
Plank candlestick refurb
Plane L5 refurb x 2
Doll 339/1 refurb (new boiler)
Meccano (1960's) engine refurb
Minor 2 refurb
Fleischmann candlestick rebuild
SE2a refurb

Plank horizontal refurb (new boiler)
Falk refurb x 2
PW203 refurb
Jean Comby chimney build
To which I can now add...
SR1 nut& bolt
The roller has come to me by way of an exchange with Rob (RSB) for a small Bing candlestick that was headed for the auction site.
I thought it may be interesting to keep the list updated and see if it shrinks and, if so, how quickly!
If any job is of particular interest I'll post a specific account as we do.
No more aquisitions unltil I've made a considerable dent in the list, or I come into money, or an M122 comes up!

OOOO - I wonder what that can be?
(I'm kinda hoping that any new additions won't need a lot of work.)

I was expecting a parcel myself yesterday (transient) but snowed all day and the mail does not get through so we found.

All that's piling up here is bags of rubbish due to the bin collector's strike!

A little update. I'm really pleased to say that I've managed to keep the new acquisitions down to zero (having no money helps!).
I can strike off the SE2a and the Fleichmann 150/1 candlestick (the former converted to cash via OFAS and the latter's a Christmas pressie).
The MM2's coming on and the L5's are moving forward but slowly! The SR1's boiler is coming back together - THAT'S a story and will be the subject of another thread. The TE1 n&b will parrallel the SR1 so that both the n&b's are finished together (I hope). The Comby's chimney is built it just needs the finish and I think it'll be brick if only temporarily.
I'll post some photos as soon as I can get to photobucket (just uploading).[/img]

Here's the Fleischmann...
It leaked from a split crankshaft tube and the steam faceplate was warped, so more leaks! Not only the chimney, but the fixing bracket was missing. No safety valve either.
The crankshaft tube was replaced with a suitably sized piece from K&S by careful soldering (I'm getting better). The new chimney is made from 3/4" tube with the socket-and-a-big-hammer technique and fixed to a 15mm copper pipe stop end pre-soldered yorkshire fitting soldered to the boiler (did you all follow that?). That makes the chimney removable as it should be. The s/v is a standard Wilesco 6mm unit. The 'pin-striping' on the base is not of my making I hasten to add!
