    • Could anyone give me an idea of how much this is worth, it's never been used.  
    • I'd imagine not. A certain bus collection site was plagued with people "discovering" it, as was Moyasta. He's making rather a meal out of it, seemed faintly surprised Irish trains had toilets in them. I prefer US based urbexers, bit livelier than this, gun shots going off a few blocks away and the YouTuber nonchalantly remarking it's just usual post industrial Cleveland, nothing to worry about!
    • Down from 6'8 to anywhere approaching 5', you might as well get a chassis custom built or scratchbuild yourself at that point, IMO A GNRI 0-6-0 tender engine would be the most common type for the job, one would imagine. They did have the hawthorn leslie crane tank, which would be an unusual model!  
    • Excellent - thanks for these.  Yes indeed this fine example of one of the smaller WH Mills designs for the GN is now a fabulously renovated private home.  @Tullygrainey and I visited recently but as there were no adults in the house at the time we didn't take photographs.
    • The drooping on the tank happened after I'd left it supported only by the buffer beams for a week or so. I've added a structural longitudinal support to the underside of the running plate, between the frames, but do I need a longer post- cure? The strips are all well and good for vans etc where it's all outline, but I see your van has a floor.. how does that get supported? As I've said, I'm very new to this business, and so far I've allowed the Anycubic program (as we used to call apps) to generate supports. It generates far more of them, pretty randomly. It supports, for example, the external framing.  I don't know what I can get away with. I also note your brake gear and stays between the W irons etc.. it looks very flimsy, does it last? What about things like lamp brackets, smokebox door handles, grab rails?
