9 forum posts | 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.

9 forum posts | 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 Edited By Adam Cro on 28/09/2017 10:17:30 |
