Excellent work. I was impressed on the first video when you said you'd just straightened the connecting rods - they're always something that have defeated me.

Hi Graham and Hazel. Take your time Graham not long to wait now. Great job on the 9F. That crawl is absolutely superb. Another job you can tick off. Well done buddy. Pete.

Well done Graham. That was a significant job. Great to see it running.

Hello Graham, take your time not long to wait now. 9F turned out really well great work. Take care

Top Dollar Graham , great job and good thinking about walking away , that's what I do

I found the same this week with trying to learn how to use Tinkercad. Went round and round in circles (not literally) for hours. Gave up at silly o'clock. Next morning it was easy! Glad you have solved it. Take care. Learn your lesson. Look after that eye. 😀

Another job well done Graham I know how you feel about over doing things I just had a total knee replacement and was told yesterday that I over did things so please take it easy Graham you will soon have your eye sorted and will be no stopping you take care looking forward to seeing more from lakeside

Genius Graham well done. All the best.

Hi Graham, very informative video of a loco dcc upgrade, I have a Hornby loco I might fit a decoder to at some stage this year, I will fit a flickering firebox and some directional lighting via the front and rear lamps, you are very correct regarding those unsightly large ‘D’ for dreadful tension lock couplings Hornby fit to their models, I removed the ones fitted to my city link wagons last year, yet again Hornby fitting these items to rollingstock and it shows how far behind they compared to other manufacturers, they still fit 8 pin dcc sockets, Hornby rant over, thanks for sharing.

More good work on this 9F Evening Star model here Graham, keep up the good work.

Brilliant video Graham

Hey, considering what you are fighting and the difficulty of looking down at the work... that you got it in just two goes is another testament to your brilliance. Can't be mad at yourself for trying when maybe you should not have... oh, a lesson I need to teach myself too often. Well done and great loco!!

Good video Graham..sorted it out in the end 👍look forward to seeing it running on Lakeside mate

I agree Graham if things start to not go to plan leave it and have a break or better still sleep on it, it's surprising how fresh thoughts come into your head. I must admit I love tinkering around with my locos fitting sound, lights, firebox flicker and extra pickups. It's great to see your Evening Star bought back to life ,great video keep modeling. Cheers Grahame

well done graham cant wait to see her with some coaches

Hi Graham Not often I comment but thoughts with you Can’t be easy looking at everything one eyed😊😊😊 Love your work

Great video fella. Try not to over do it will you. All the best to you both

Looks great. It can take a lot of strength on a job to say “this isn’t working, walk away and I’ll come back tomorrow.” Also how often does a logical shortcut turn out to be the long way round!?

👍

Resting is boring, have to do something, so whats next🤔😊😤
