Mute Moelwyn No More - Hopefully

I am not one of life's gamblers. If you needed to stick a label on me it would definitely be the one marked 'Risk Averse'.So you can probably imagine it was a 'moment' to entrust our precious Moelwyn to the care of our elite posties for a 400 mile trip across the UK to see a man who's kindly offered to help convert it for DCC operation with sound for use on Minffordd.Were it a model one could buy off-the-shelf then if anything unfortunate happened one could simply curse one's luck and dip into the piggy bank for a replacement.Sadly, it's not the case with a kit built loco such as our trusty Baldwin Gas Mechanical.This excellent kit has been in production from time to time over the years, but I reckon I've seen more Backwoods Garratts come up for sale that one of these - and that's saying something!So it really was a leap of faith to hand that parcel over!I'm pleased to say it has arrived, safety, and on time (well done, Royal Mail!) and I'm told it will be going into the workshop…
