NZ120 happenings

Well, nothing much to report this weekend. I did go along to the local NZ120 groups meeting on Friday night which was rather interesting, could finally put a couple of faces to the names on the NZ120 forum. Was also very interesting to hear about current developments that other people are working on. Spent a couple of hours on Sunday night working on the CAD drawing for my NZ120 scale DA class loco which I intend to CNC etch on brass and solder up. I have already made a prototype long hood for this just to see if it would work, and yup it did! Also designed on paper my baseboard for Branrock.

And here is a picture of the prototype hood - the pen in the background gives an idea of it's size . . .
