Winter project finished at last.

[Tha Ulsterscot]

Started off last winter with a bit of major surgery

Two new gears replaced in the gear box.
Then did a bit of testing

and into the shop for the finishing touches

Ready for her first outing on Easter Tuesday. Still have the cab to do.

If only my winter project could make as much progress I would be happy

[Tha Ulsterscot]

Why not come and spectate, and have a day out on the Peninsula.

Could end up at that alright!

Aye he's far more fussy than me, and he wouldn't do one for anyone else, I have to keep the right side of him to get mine done.
