| 6th June. The stage the second batch is at. |
How long will this take, about a month? So next week I will e-mail the interested and see if they still want a loco.
Do look at our last post some rather atmospheric pictures from the Somme.

Hunslet Quarry Tanks - Nearly finished!
Hi, after a holiday I have finally had a fortnight without interuption to get on with the second batch of Hunslets. The end is in sight. The photo shows where the eleven locos are at. All the chassis run on air, all the platework is now finished and most of the boiler and burner parts are made.
What is left is to fit the gas valve pipe and burner to the boiler, then finish the boiler by fitting the regulator, make the steam pipe and complete the steam circuit by fitting the lubricator. After that, make and fit the safety valve and pressure gauge, make and fit the water-feed clack and fill pipework, assemble the firebox, safety valve and bonnet castings, steam test the loco, re-fit all the platework and pin the cranks to the axles, strip, prime, and paint - FINISH.
How long will this take, about a month? So next week I will e-mail the interested and see if they still want a loco.
