Latest update (after too long a period of silence!)

I am now in a position to supply an etch for the B3/B7 boiler, as an alternative to a resin boiler. I have contacted all those who have previously expressed an interest.

To confirm that I have etches in stock as follows:
- B3/1 loco frames and running plate / cab
- B7 loco frames and running plate / cab
- 4,000 gallon self-trimming tender
- Boiler

Also, full complement of necessary resin parts, including boilers. I can therefore supply complete or part kits for either loco.

Completing the B3/2 (Caprotti) test build is next, which I hope to achieve over the autumn/winter period. I'll post news of that on here as and when there is something worth showing.

Graham
