after a final push to get the springs hardened, this was completed and sent out in time...

and the big push to get the first kit of the new Traction wagon done was 99% successful in that we have completed 99% of the parts.

it's just the rear wheel rims and the actual boxing up of this kit that has prevented it going out. it will be going early January cheers

the Axles...

work on the showman's roof and the foden 6inch rear brakes are the next priority.

tomorrow is our last day (this year) and will be spent giving STW towers a good clean up Very Happy
