Thank you for the update. So there are plenty of work-faces but little apparent work taking place? The frames have been available for first fix piping and wiring for a long time. Same for the tender too. What’s happened to the scale model of the...

The things i will share :- 1. Tender - All parts are on site, assembly required - seen as a quick win, opens up more space in workshop, wheels need balanced first. 2. Front Bogey - as mentioned a defective item is in the process of manufacture,...

There's always the risk of supplier insolvency too. I'm not saying they have to have it in their shed (but if there's space, equally why not?), but it was "imminent" last september. Some idea of a plan would go a long way to reassuring.

And hopefully, the A1SLT will not be charged for storage by Meiningen. I have a car that's been at a garage for over a year whilst they choose to do s*d-all about it and I'm genuinely worried they'll try and charge me for "storing" it, despite no...

Echoing what @Sheff has said, anything you can find out would be welcome, if only to put some concerns and speculation to rest.

Sheff liked Johann Marsbar's post in the thread ECRC Tilling-Stevens double decker.
A wooden mock up of the staircase was assembled yesterday. As we have no drawings to hand, it was a case of trial and error in producing the parts and rather amazingly it fits rather well ! The same method was used when producing the staircases...
