Hi all,

Looking forward to building this one. my late grandfather was a steam train driver. He loved the things and so this is one i can do and remember all the good times.

So i hope you all enjoy the progress as it comes together and its a bit of a late starter but i will get there

so here we go just got to wait for the delivery to arrive any day now BigGrin

Danny

Welcome to the D51 build club! Any thoughts on how you are going to finish your build?
