Right here is the next project. I know some of you wanted a 43XX, but you will have to make do with a Hall.
Right my bargain finally arrived from the UK. Now I have actually got it in my hands what do we know about it?
Well. I have seen worse not sure when or where, but I must of. I came in a ACME hall box, but I am not sure it is from them. The Hawksworth tender has JM models written on it. The loco etchings look good, if not complete, Lots have been put on back to front or inside out so you are looking at the rivet dimples rather than lumps.
It seems from enquiries that I have a Modified Hall, of the 6959 series. So at least I know what pictures to look at for details. I will decide what name to use later on.
It has been assembled with blobs of solder evostick a filler of some sort, and something I can't describe and not really sure if I want to know where it came from.
Apart from getting more information about the prototypes, I could do with a set of instructions for the ACME hall, can any one help, pleeeaaasssssse. A set for JM's tender would also be handy. Unless it is just the inner chassis from them. The first proper job will be to shift the paint and see if I can remove the whitemetal before I stick it on the gas stove, after the cook has gone home.
I will let you make up you own minds from the photos. But I feel it has got to be easy after the West Country.
