Going Vertical

Over the Christmas period I made progress on a project that's been on the workbench for far too long!

I picked up this Slater's DeWinton months ago in a very sad condition, but at a price I could not turn down. Stripping it back, including some awful wooden boiler lagging, showed some hope. Over Christmas saw me finally get some paint on the thing, and so far I'm quite happy with how its turn out, especially compared what it looked like when it arrived. Sadly some parts are missing meaning the valve gear will have to be stationary, but it's something I'm willing to accept for the price I paid.

Now just to try and finish it in reasonable time, oh, and deal with the different sized wheels fitted in the chassis...
