Am_Fet continues....
With the completion of the undergubbins (as seen in a previous instalment), the time had come for the focus to shift from the wastes of Lower Hutt to the leafy gentrified suburb of Karori. 0-4-4-0T took the baseboard home from club night and started the careful and painstaking task of marrying up the track with the baseboard (i.e he winged it).
The track was gently cut in the correct places and located on the baseboard....
....before being transported across the water to play a starring role at the Christchurch Show, even if only as a workbench....
I have no idea what Cabbage is saying here....a caption contest, perchance? Note 0-4-4-0T using the area earmarked for paddocks and willow trees to assemble wagons....the philistine.
Recriminations will be swift, and effective....
(Luckily for our protagonist, the track was completed over the course of the weekend, appeasing the landowner)
Next: Setting the Scene.

They are Fell Brake Van parts. And if you are worried about scratches - the part being used for cutting and sorting those parts now has GREAT BIG HOLES in it ready for fitting the switches for the points.
Why did the fell brake vans normally used to run with their doors open? The reason, of course, was a dastardly long-term plan by the van guards working the incline for over 70 years to make it harder to model them in NZ120. Because the doors open one has to put in all the interior details...
Vindictive swine.....how dare they leave doors open....
