The Banana/ Ffrwchnedd - Progress

The construction of "The Banana" is going very well. I have begun to customise the locomotive by adding some walls to the two cabs on the locomotive. It has proven to be a rather fiddly kit to construct as the walls kept moving. However it now fits well on the chassis and I am hoping to prime it tomorrow ready for painting in a mock Network Rail livery. 



Test fitting all the components

Now with cab walls fitted. 

I haven't yet found a suitable wagon to pair with the locomotive. I am considering trying to scratch build something using some ideas that I found in a magazine to build a driving cab on a MK1 coach. That is going to wait for now and "The Banana" will remain an inspection vehicle for now. 

I am also going to be ordering some custom plates for it to have the name in Welsh. Which would make it "Ffrwchnedd".
