    Sorry, are you actually saying you think that it will only cos 1.5m more to complete Hengist? When the official website says 4 million more to complete the loco?

    Or are you saying 1.5 million needed to complete the chassis to the point where you start to build the boiler?

    Nice idea, is it possible in this current climate?

    Talking of which, glad to see the work is being carried out in a good working environment, see latest https://www.theclanproject.org/Clan_News.php
    Makes a change from seeing the lads with thick winter coats on under their overalls, it is a cold shed!!

    Great to see progress as always lads, thank you.
