No. 1 Hercules update 6.

It's Monday afternoon here at Crymlyn A Shop and the locomotive for the Peckett W4 class contract has been pushed outside the works for her steam tests.
Some minor adjustments are being made by Owen the Spanner and Dai the Paint touches up the paintwork.
Our foreman admires the Boyos' work while Baldrick, the Crymlyn A Shop gofor, tidies up ashes in the yard.
Dai the Steam has been complaining about the cold on the incline to Graig Wen colliery and our foreman, in an unusually good mood, has instructed Arwel ap Iolo Pain, the village glazier, to glaze the cab windows on Dai's favourite locomotive 1140.
The results of his work can be seen.
Another problem has arisen in that one of the "Hercules" nameplates for this locomotive has disappeared from Dai larfin's stores.
DSC_2627.JPG Our foreman is not happy about this and has insisted that no more money is to be spent on this contract so if the plate cannot be found it (or should it be he?) will have to run with only one plate. The surviving nameplate leans against the steps ready to be fitted.
