A little more progress and although the drive gear is obviously Meccano, it won`t look like it once it`s been `doctored`.

Here is the progress so far. This one feels like it`s taking forever and a day. :cry:

Thanks Harriet, There is a LONG way to go yet as the last photos were only `mock-ups`. I think that we are talking about months rather than weeks. I look at the Foden every Monday when I am in the museum and come away thinking `I`ll never get it to look like that`.

Progress to date. The resin wheels spotted at Gaydon have proved to be perfect.

Impressive as usual Jim! Looks good ... By the way there is a kit out there - but it's a big 'un link thing

Just about ready to begin the body. Noticed that the chassis has developed a slight warp (front wheel in the air) :evil:. Nothing that a weight and a bit of heat wont cure. I`ve seen (and lusted after) those kits Harriet. They are either 1:4 or 1:8 scale. I don`t know the price but it`s got to be £1,000 plus.

At 12 1/2 foot long and 3 foot wide, it's a bit bigger than that Jim (4.5" to the foot), and could reach speeds of up to 20 MPH! Priced just over £18K! Anyway, I digress ... Looking good - love the casual way you state there's a slight problem and how you'll overcome it

Every week a little bit further. The decals are just mock-ups on plain paper.

Well, I think that's fabulous Jim - well done, love it ... Will it be at Telford?
