Afternoon to you all,

 

Just a quick introduction, my name is Adam Cro I am 25 and have been in model engineering for the last 17 years. I got hooked at a young age thanks to my grandfather whose locos were spread around the house and first got involved in my loco club at the age of 8.

 

I am currently trying to finish off a 5" 9f which originally started life as a Winson kit but is now heavily modified to be much closer to scale. I ran it for around a year before I stripped it back down to re-do the cleading and get it looking right and I am still working on that now whilst also running my business.

Thanks all,

 

Trying to upload photos from Flickr but it seems to have defeated me for now, will be back with the photos I had planned to upload. - Got it, here we go!

 

The current work on the 9f involves the cleading mainly the throat plate which is rarely done right on a 5" model

 

Other bits I get up to is machining up various scale castings, at the moment I am working on a variety of things but this is a nice one, a scale 7 1/4" Gresham & Craven SSJ Ejector.  

 

Thanks,

Adam
