Slug busting......not just yet!!

A little frustrating after several days waiting for the Greenlee slug busting unit to arrive, to then open the box and find the version for fitting into a hydraulic press rather than the self-contained version required.

However, this allows more practice with Templot.

Current reading is the Okehampton line by the Irwell press.

Currently on order are the 2 SR green Maunsell coaches by Hornby intended to recreate set 179 which when coupled behind the Hornby T9 will become a 1959/60 Exeter to Plymouth working. Away for machining and re-tyring by Ultrascale are the wheelsets for the 2 Dapol class 22 locos.
Intended identities for the 22s are: D6321 in mid sixties green, sywp, split headcode and D6327 in late sixties/early seventies battered BR blue, sywp, split headcode.
Comet coaches are getting together the 3 kits required to recreate set 857, a 3 coach Bulleid set.
