Dub Dee...light

A recent addition to our steam fleet on New Mills is yet another WD, or 'Dub Dee' as we remember them. The Guru's 90047 is the superb Bachmann model which needs little extra detailing but comes to life when weathered. It will haul some of our inter-regional freights at future exhibitions.

90047 was shedded at Wakefield shed 56A in the early 1960s but crossed the Pennines frequently.

Despite rumours to the contrary on a related blog, this is further evidence of the huge effort that Himself, the Guru and myself are applying to the layout ahead of our next outing, severely curtailing if not bringing to a halt, our mission to sample new real ales.
