| This is what it should look like when finished !! |
So... The Striker Has sold... and is heading to Canada. After much soul searching I decided that I needed another project.... I just have to accept that without something to tinker with I would probably go crazy... or I might just grow up... can't have that !!
By an amazing stroke of luck... a CVRT Sabre has just become available courtesy of Chris McMillan... who has too many projects on the go at the moment so needs to let one go !
The Sabre is completely stripped down but comes with all the parts (literally everything) to get it back together. Just a load of hard work, Paint, nuts and bolts etc etc.
First task is to get it picked up from Derby and delivered to my house. The Striker is being collected by Bob Grundy prior to shipping to Canada... hopefully Bob can collect the Sabre on his way down from Manchester and do a swap over in Bromsgrove... sounds like a plan.
The engine, two gearboxes, a mountain of parts and a set of good used tracks will also have to be collected at some time !!
So enough waffle for now... here are a few photos of the Sabre as it was a few weeks ago and as it is now.... after Chris steam cleaned it... plus a couple of videos.
