Cracker XL painted ans assembled
« on: January 20, 2025, 09:58:57 am »
Hi,

Cracker XL has been painted and assembled. The gas tank and burner assemble still have to be completed and fitted. However, using a gas tank wagon and a borrowed burner I hope to do a steam test this weekend.

Take care Tony.

Larger scale on the same gauge track, otherwise they look to be sisters!
