Welsh Highland Railway Loco No. 140

Hi All,

I've been frantically trying to get back into the swing of things following a personal hic-up (don't ask okay

).

Some of you may Remeber No.139 - screenshots of which are somewhere in the depths of this forum. Well I spotted her the other day in my MSTS foldered looking a bit sorry for herself. So I gave her a clean lit the Fire and took her for a spin. This provided me with enough motivation to spend a very late night perparing her for a release out into the open. So as we speak she is on her way to the WHR

Meanwhile, back at the Paintshops sister 140 was in need of a tidy up and finish off before finally being ready for her first photo shoot.

Two versions will be in the same install: One in her present condition with 'ACR' lettering and a South African Numberplate, The other in the condition she may be restored to with 'WHR' lettering and a Rheilffordd Eryri Number Plate.

Once again, Big Thanks To Kevin Martin for letting me pursure this project and being highly supportive

Bruce

Eh?

Do you mean the Kalahari NG15's, which are from South Africa?

yes the NG15s ran in South Africa, but Im sure they were built in Belgium. WHR C has two which I remember seeing in a field at Pickering before their purchase by the WHR, and doesn't WHR P have one too?

The NG15's were built in Belgium (1953 I think). They are on my list of things to do but as always no dates can be given as to when they will be available.

Cheers
Kevin

The WHR ( C ) has No.133 and 134, both at Dinas. The WHR ( P ) has No.120, named Bedgelert

When She's Ready

Both Kevin and myself felt that 140's first coat was a bit 'bright' so I've applyed a second more toned down shade.

Its okay you can put the sunglasses away now
