This Chuffer post would seem to be devoted to Colin, and the Herrington Light Industrial Co., as he seems to be the only one producing stuff at the moment - though Pat is in the proccess of turning out a diesel loco for Maes Y Gof (more of that in a moment)
At our last get-together Col opened up his model box (A margerine container that he uses to hold the latest masterpiece):
to reveal a water tower for St Dogmaels station, on the Teifi Gorge:
It contains realistic water, and all the necessary controls and valves that are required to dispense water to thirsty locomotives.
Around the back is an array of fire irons and shovels:
I forgot to include something for scale comparison, but I just measured the wooden handled spade, and it is 3/4" high...
The tower is yet to be placed on the layout, but we will be meeting here next week, so I hope to have the layout up here in the workshop for a trial run prior to Rogers Exhibition at Hermon in November.
Other products from the HLI factory - this loco finally came out of the paint shop:
Yet another one to join Colin's stable of 009 motive power. He is threatening to build an 009 layout of his own, as there is no more room on the Teifi Gorge!
Pat brought along the Diesel engine that he is constructing (no photos yet - maybe next week) for Colin to have a go at constructing a cab for it. So to finish, here is a pic of the master at work...
Hwyl Fawr.
